Jockey Eddie Arcaro rode 250 losers before he finally won his 1st race. After that, for most of his 31 years in the saddle, he seemed never to stop winning. Before his retirement in 1961, Arcaro won 4,779 races, including 5 victories in the Kentucky Derby, 6 in the Preakness Stakes, and 6 in the Belmont Stakes. He rode Whirlaway and Citation to Triple Crown championships, and guided the inimitable Kelso to numerous victories.
