From the beginnings of the sport in the United States, and particularly from the early 19th century, African Americans have made significant contributions to horse racing. Organized horse racing dates from the second half of the 17th century in North America. It became a major pastime for wealthy landowners in the American South, and it was common for enslaved people to care for and train the horses and, eventually, to ride them in races. The earliest African American jockey known by name was “Monkey” Simon, who rode at the Clover Bottom Race Track in Tennessee about 1806. During the 1820s, horse racing became the most popular sport in the United States, and a large number of the best trainers and jockeys in the country were African Americans. The Civil War put an end to racing during the 1860s, as all available horses were needed for the military, but by 1875 horse racing had again become popular, and it was in that year that the first Kentucky Derby was run. The first winner of that race was an African American jockey, Oliver Lewis. Another African American jockey, Isaac Burns Murphy,(top center) won the Kentucky Derby three times (1884, 1890, and 1891), a record that was not broken until 1948, when jockey Eddie Arcaro won his fourth. Murphy also had the distinction of becoming the first jockey to be inducted into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame, and he remains known as one of the best American jockeys ever, having won (by his tally) 44 percent of his races. Murphy was just one of many African American jockeys during the late 19th and early 20th centuries; another was Willie Simms, also a member of the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame, who in the 1890s became the first (and only) African American jockey to win all of the American Triple Crown races. In the first 28 runnings of the Kentucky Derby, African American jockeys won 15. James Winkfield became the second jockey to win Kentucky Derbies back to back, in 1901 and 1902, but he was the last African American jockey to win the race.
