He was one of the best jockeys ever, a man who could win on a losing horse and tie world records on a winning one. He won the Kentucky Derby three times. And he still holds the record for the highest percentage of racing wins. Isaac Murphy, an African American jockey, had a celebrated career in the decades following the Civil War. He owed his success to knowledge, training-and a perfectly-paced race. Full-color illustrations. Time line. Author's note.
