About the Jockeys
Ron Turcotte is best known as the jockey of Secretariat, the 1973 Triple
Crown winner. That campaign set still-existing track records in the
Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. A Hall of Fame jockey, Mr. Turcotte won
over 3,000 races and is the only jockey ever to have won five of six
consecutive Triple Crown races.

Jean Cruguet holds the distinction of being the only jockey to ride an
undefeated Triple Crown champion - 1977's Seattle Slew. In his forty
years as a jockey, Mr. Cruguet won more than 2,400 races.

Steve Cauthen became the youngest jockey to ever win the Triple Crown when,
in 1978, he rode Affirmed to victory, a feat that also garnered him Sports
Illustrated's "Sportsman of the Year" award. A Kentucky native, Mr.
Cauthen enjoyed a lucrative career, winning nearly 2,800 races.

With more than 8,800 winning races, Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day holds nine
individual Triple Crown race victories. He is the all-time winning jockey
at Churchill Downs and holds the record for all-time North American race
earnings.

Winning in 2007, 2009 and 2010, Calvin Borel holds the distinctions of being
the first jockey to win three Kentucky Derbys in a four-year span. He is
also one of only a few jockeys ever to win both the Kentucky Oaks and Derby
in the same year. In June of this year, Mr. Borel became the second jockey
(Pat Day being the first) to win 1,000 career races at Churchill Downs.

The jockeys will appear at the Horze stage and booth, located within the
Festival's shopping expo of more than 200 vendors. Horze is one of
Europe's largest horse and riding equipment providers, with an online shop
