GOATs. Who is it?
Eddie Arcaro is the only jockey to have twice ridden horseracing Triple Crown winners.
The Hall of Fame jockey rode Whirlaway in 1941 and Citation in 1948 to wins in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
Arcaro is also tied with Bill Hartack for the most Kentucky Derby-winning rides with five.
Arcaro was known in the profession as “The Master” and won roughly 20% of the races he rode and amassed career earnings of over $30 million. You’re able to read about him here.
Arcaro died in 1997. Here is the New York Times‘ obituary.
