I think the selection process for the first man to walk on the moon was a bit more strenuous than selecting a jockey.

Not to mention, Armstrong had been through a lot. He flew 73 combat mission in Korea. ONe of the missions he had some difficulty and flew so low he struck a 20 foot tall pole.

He also was a noteworthy test pilot.

Victor Espinoza has been racing horses since he was 15. He is from Hidalgo Mexico. There is no record of his education. Seemingly, all his life has been around horse.

Too his credit, he gives 10% of his winnings to City of Hope for pediatric cancer research. He also gives 39.6% of his income to the federal government and an additional 12.3% to the state of California. This leaves 38.1 percent for Victor.
