  • $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU
    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.

  • Seabiscuit Program Transcript
    Page 1 Seabiscuit Program Transcript Narrator: On New Year’s Eve 1938, columnist Walter Winchell published his annual list of the top ten newsmakers. Nine men were named, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler. The tenth spot went to a horse. Gelo Hall, Jockey Agent: He was a hero. This horse had to come from the bottom of the heap. To the top. Newsreel (archival): They’re head and head. It’s horse against horse. Seabiscuit leads by a length… Gelo Hall, Jockey Agent: And he fought his way up the ladder. And I think this was the thing that people liked about him. And I think that’s the way America likes sometimes to crown their champions. Newsreel (archival): Ladies and Gentleman, NBC has turned over its nationwide facilities for a paid tribute to Seabiscuit, the Wonderhorse. Gene Smith, Writer: Maybe the fact that he had the hard scrabble beginning…maybe the fact that he wasn’t good-looking—he was blocky, he was coarse, crude-looking. Maybe the fact that he had a kind of busted down jockey…somehow it all came together to create a star. Laura Hillenbrand, Author: He came along in the worst years of the Depression. Americans were down and out. They were poor, they were losing their jobs and their houses and they, they wanted a hero that came from the wrong side of the tracks, that was beat up like they were. And for a brief moment in America, a little brown racehorse wasn’t just a little brown racehorse.

  • Seabiscuit Races Again at Remington Carriage Museum Life Size Bronze of Famous Racehorse and Alberta Jockey George Woolf Unveiled
    July 16, 2010 Seabiscuit races again at Remington Carriage Museum Life size bronze of famous racehorse and Alberta jockey George Woolf unveiled Cardston... “So Long, Charley!” is the name of the statue depicting Cardston hero George Woolf riding Seabiscuit to victory in the riveting 1938 race against War Admiral. The statue will be unveiled Saturday, July 17, at the Remington Carriage Museum in honour of what would have been Woolf’s 100th birthday. Two Albertans, Woolf and Seabiscuit’s other principal jockey, Edmonton native Red Pollard, rose to instant world-wide fame with the surprise win in the “Match of the Century.” The $150,000 statue was commissioned and donated to the Province of Alberta by Cardston ranchers Jack and Ida Lowe. It will stand outside the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston, a provincial facility that houses the largest collection of horse-drawn vehicles in North America. The statue will strengthen the museum visitor experience by celebrating a thrilling chapter in horse racing history and the supreme achievement of an Alberta horseman. “This statue captures an incredible moment of unexpected triumph in a story that many people do not realize has a strong Alberta connection,” said Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Culture and Community Spirit. “On behalf of the Government of Alberta, I would like to thank Jack and Ida Lowe for their generous donation and strong commitment to showcasing Alberta’s rich history.” Created by Lethbridge artist Don Toney, the statue depicts the moment when Woolf called out “So long, Charley!” to War Admiral’s jockey Charley Kurtsinger as Seabiscuit surged to the lead at Maryland’s Pimlico Race Course, ultimately winning by four lengths and setting a new track record.

    Caminos _____ Newsletter of the Arcadia Historical Society President’s Message: Out and About in the Community Fall 2018 Ed Andersen Presents: “Lucky” Baldwin: The Man Who Was Never Licked On Saturday morning, September 29th, Ed Andersen, Arcadia Historical Society’s Community Relations, presented little known facts about Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin, the founder of the City of Arcadia, in his presentation, “Lucky” Baldwin: The Man Who Was Never Licked. The event held for Saturday Morning Coffee at the Floretta K. Lauber Education Center drew a crowd of over 60 attendees, including Steve Baker, Monrovia’s City Historian, and Eugene Moy with the Historical Society So Cal Chinese. One surprise was a clip from the TV show, Death Valley Days, showing a reenactment of how “Lucky” Baldwin was able to obtain the Santa Anita Rancho and begin his legacy that is with us today. ____________________________________________________________ Annual Moon Festival The Arcadia Historical Society had the privilege of participating in the Annual Moon Festival celebration sponsored by the City of Arcadia and the Arcadia Chinese Association at City Hall Lawn on Saturday evening, September 29th. AHS provided the craft supplies, with the Arcadia Civic Youth Council assisting children who created peacock fans and bunny fans. At one point, there were twelve children, along with a parent or two, gathered around the table. AHS and ACYC members could barely keep up with the demand. However, every child (and a parent or two) walked away with his or her own masterpiece, like the Garrido family on the right. ___________________________________________________________ Downtown Halloween Festival This event was held on Saturday, October 29th from 11:00 AM until 6:00 PM.

  • On HORSE RACING
    MORE on HORSE RACING 0. MORE on HORSE RACING - Story Preface 1. SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE 2. CHARLES HOWARD 3. TOM SMITH 4. RED POLLARD 5. SEABISCUIT 6. THE PIMLICO SPECIAL OF 1938 7. GEORGE WOOLF 8. SANTA ANITA HANDICAP 9. THE REST OF THE STORY 10. MORE on HORSE RACING In 1919, Sir Barton won the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. He bears the honor of the first "Triple-Crown" winner, even though that title was not-yet available when he was racing. This image depicts Sir Barton and Johnny Luftus, his jockey, at the 1919 Preakness. Image online, courtesy Wikimedia Commons. The first Belmont Stakes (named for August Belmont, the first president of the American jockey club) was run in 1867 at Jerome Park. It was later moved to Belmont Park (which was built by his son, August Belmont, Jr.). In 1873, the first Preakness Stakes was run at Pimlico Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The first Kentucky Derby was run at the Louisville Jockey Club Course in 1875. The course is now known as Churchill Downs. The first "Triple Crown" winner was Sir Barton. He accomplished that feat in 1919, the year following the end of World War I (and before the Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont were collectively called America's "Triple Crown"). To date, there have been eleven Triple Crown winners: Sir Barton (1919); Gallant Fox (1930); Omaha (1935); War Admiral (1937); Whirlaway (1941); Count Fleet (1943); Assault (1946); Citation (1948); Secretariat (1973); Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed (1978) Citation - who won the Triple Crown in 1948 - was the first horse to win $1 million (on the 14th of July, 1951).
