Great African-American Jockeys In American Thoroughbred Racing American sports, like most American institutions, has a history of shameful racism, and this includes Thoroughbred horse racing - as anyone who has scanned the insulting, stereotypical names of some racehorses of the 1920s will confirm. At the same time, one of the inspiring things about sports is that way that, at least some of the time, excellence triumphs even in the face of prejudice. Great Contemporary Thoroughbred Horse Jockeys Many sports rival it, but you'd be hard pressed to name any competitive human activity harder than being a jockey. There's the food deprivation - the constant training - the danger, even likelihood, of bone-crushing accidents. No wonder that of all athletes, jockeys face some of the highest insurance premium costs in sports. Great Racehorses Of The Seventies The 1970s represents one of the last decades when high-stakes Thoroughbred races dominated the public mind as they had done during the 1920s, '30s and '40s, when great horses like Man O'War, Seabiscuit, and Citation went from being sports-page celebrities to bona fide culture heroes. Take a look at two great stories of '70s horseracing: the rivalry between Affirmed and Alydar, and Where Do They Get Those Horses' Names? Secretariat. Man O'War. Affirmed. Barbarino. Whirlaway. Where, you may have wondered once or twice over the years, do racehorses get those crazy names?
