Angel Cordero Jr., 42, became the third rider in history - behind Bill Shoemaker
and Laffit Pincay Jr. - to have his mounts earn $100 million, while riding at
Belmont Park. ~1985
Kentucky Derby winner Swaps met Preakness and Belmont Stakes winner Nashua at Washington Park in Chicago, IL, in a race that was televised to the nation by CBS. Nashua won handily in another race that was somewhat diminished by the fact that Swaps was nursing a sore foot in the days prior to the race. Eddie Arcaro, rider of Nashua, would say many years later that he doubted Nashua could ever have beaten a healthy Swaps. ~1955
