But Sellers is the nation's newest jockey sensation, and at Florida's Gulfstream Park last week he was booting them home at a rate that kept him neck-and-neck in winners with none other than the great Willie Shoemaker. Moreover, Sellers was the rider for two of the year's top horses: Dorchester Farm's Carry Back, a leading candidate for the Kentucky Derby, and Calumet Farm's Yorky, second biggest money winner...
