Good things come to those who wait. Just ask Jose Amy.

A quarter-century after Amy won his last race in New York, the 51-year-old jockey, who returned to the saddle last October after a 24-year exile for race fixing, finally reached the winner’s circle again, gunning 5-1 Mon Over Miami up the rail down the stretch to win yesterday’s sixth race at the Big A by 1 1/4 lengths.

Trained by Dominic Galluscio, Mon Over Miami was Amy’s 10th mount back since the N.Y. State Racing and Wagering Board lifted the ban.

“The main thing is, I’m back,” said the elated reinsman, whose last winner at Aqueduct came in March 1980. “I’m so happy. Anyone in my shoes recognizes my feeling right now. I want to thank Dominic Galluscio for giving me all the confidence since I got back. I’m glad he’s got faith in me.

“I also want to thank the New York Racing Association, the board, the stewards, everybody who gave me the support to make my dream come true. I am a hard-working guy, and I’m going to keep working hard to ride more winners.”

Amy was among New York’s up-and-coming jockeys when he was snared in the infamous Con Errico race-fix scandal of the 1970s. In exchange for immunity, he testified in a 1979 trial that he accepted a bribe to hold horses after Errico threatened his family. Although Amy was not convicted of a crime, his license was permanently revoked until the SRWB restored it last September, at the urging of then-NYRA chairman Barry Schwartz and other horsemen.

“I knew him when I was an exercise boy for [trainer] Mike Hernandez in 1976,” said Galluscio, who named Amy to ride several horses since his return. “He always treated everyone like a gentleman. I’m elated. He deserves it.”
