Despite glorious past, there will be no Black jockeys in Kentucky Derby

When Kendrick Carmouche, a Black jockey, competed in 2021, his entrance was made possible only by what was dubbed an "epic upset." Even with that, it was only the sixth time since 1903 that a Black rider sat in the…

Hall of Fame Jockey Bill Shoemaker: A Racehorse's Best Friend

At 4 feet, 11 inches tall and 98 pounds, it didn't look like Bill Shoemaker could muscle a few sacks of groceries, let alone control a head-strong Thoroughbred a dozen times his weight. Still, Shoemaker personified that mysterious bond between horse and rider. He communicated with an innate light touch on the…
