Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pictorial Gallery of English Race Horses: Containing Portraits of All the Winners of the Derby, Oaks and St. Leger Stakes, During the Last Twenty Years; And a History of the Principal Operation of the Turf Racing in the Olden Time, although, perhaps, in interest and merit equal to that of our day, was wanting in the modern excellence of chronicles, descriptive and pictorial. The specimen at the head of this page, faithfully copied from an old print representing "A view of a Horse Match at Newmarket, between Grey-Windham and Bay Bolton, painted from the Life, by that celebrated artist, Mr John Wootton," will bear sufficient testimony to the character of the pictorial representations of those famous races, which no chronicler has been found to describe. As a specimen of the different style of modern days, the present volume is offered to the public, in the belief that a complete collection of the Annals of the Turf, during the past twenty years, will not be found uninteresting by those who take pleasure in its pursuits.

Download or read book The History of the Kentucky Derby in 75 Objects written by Kentucky Derby Museum and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To understand the Kentucky Derby is to understand the contemporary American spirit." One hundred and fifty years have passed since the Thoroughbreds of the inaugural Kentucky Derby sprang from the starting gate to race beneath the iconic Twin Spires of Churchill Downs. But the story of the greatest two minutes in sports is more than the pageantry of the horses and thrill of the people who love and celebrate the event. Through the decades, the Derby, like the state that founded it, has experienced profound moments of social, economic, and cultural change. As one of Kentucky's flagship cultural and economic institutions, the Thoroughbred racing industry must constantly reconcile with its past and think critically about the stories that have traditionally made it into the winner's circle. In the right hands, artifacts of material culture related to the Derby have the power to inspire nuanced stories of the past and shed light on marginalized voices in the industry's history. In The History of the Kentucky Derby in 75 Objects, Jessica K. Whitehead sets out to recover the accurate history of America's longest continuously held sporting event and establish a balance between well-known narratives and those that are less widely shared. Whitehead, curator of collections at the Kentucky Derby Museum, gives readers a personal tour of 75 objects from the museum. Her selections place Black, Latin American, and female riders, owners, and trainers closer to the center of the Derby story, spotlighting the contributions and achievements of groups that have played an increasingly important role in shaping the legacy of the Run for the Roses.

Download or read book Black Winning Jockeys in the Kentucky Derby written by James Robert Saunders and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-10-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver Lewis was champion jockey of the Kentucky Derby in 1875 with a winning race time of two minutes and 37 seconds. Jockey Willie Simms won in 1896, bringing his horse in at two minutes and seven seconds. James Winkfield was the winning jockey in both 1901 and 1902 with winning race times of two minutes and seven seconds and two minutes and eight seconds, respectively. Each of these men possessed the skill and power necessary to spur a horse to glorious victory. All are members of the small, select group of Derby-winning jockeys who were African Americans. The stakes were high: Black jockeys who won a race in the late 1700s and 1800s sometimes won freedom from slavery as well. This work examines the presence of black jockeys in the Kentucky Derby, from the first instance of slaves working as stable hands and tending their masters’ horses to the first black jockey to win the prestigious Kentucky Derby in 1875 and the continued participation of black jockeys in the Kentucky Derby. Black owners and trainers in the Kentucky Derby are also discussed. Three appendices list black winning jockeys, black trainers and black owners of Kentucky Derby horses.

Download or read book Dancer's Image written by Milton C. Toby and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-25 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 4, 1968, Dancer's Image crossed the finish line at Churchill Downs to win the 94th Kentucky Derby. Yet the jubilation ended three days later for the owner, the jockey and the trainers who propelled the celebrated thoroughbred to victory. Amid a firestorm of controversy, Dancer's Image was disqualified after blood tests revealed the presence of a widely used anti-inflammatory drug with a dubious legal status. Over forty years later, questions still linger over the origins of the substance and the turmoil it created. Veteran turfwriter and noted equine law expert Milt Toby gives the first in-depth look at the only disqualification in Derby history and how the Run for the Roses was changed forever.

Download or read book Sir Barton and the Making of the Triple Crown written by Jennifer S. Kelly and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2019-04-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was always destined to be a champion. Royally bred, with English and American classic winners in his pedigree, Sir Barton shone from birth, dubbed the "king of them all." But after a winless two-year-old season and a near-fatal illness, uncertainty clouded the start of Sir Barton's three-year-old season. Then his surprise victory in America's signature race, the Kentucky Derby, started him on the road to history, where he would go on to dominate the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, completing America's first Triple Crown. His wins inspired the ultimate chase for greatness in American horse racing and established an elite group that would grow to include legends like Citation, Secretariat, and American Pharoah. After a series of dynamic wins in 1920, popular opinion tapped Sir Barton as the best challenger for the wonder horse Man o' War, and demanded a match race to settle once and for all which horse was the greatest. That duel would cement the reputation of one horse for all time and diminish the reputation of the other for the next century -- until now. Sir Barton and the Making of the Triple Crown is the first book to focus on Sir Barton, his career, and his historic impact on horse racing. Author Jennifer S. Kelly uses extensive research and historical sources to examine this champion's life and achievements. Kelly charts how Sir Barton broke track records, scored victories over other champions, and sparked the yearly pursuit of Triple Crown glory. This book reveals the legacy of Sir Barton and his seminal contributions to Thoroughbred racing one hundred years after his pioneering achievement.
