Herb McCauley
 

Does anyone know what happened to this jockey. He was one of my fav riders back in the day. Any info would be greatly appreciated...thank you in advance.

He was a jockey agent not too long ago. I don't know if he still is and can't remember whose book he had, but I know thats what he was doing not too long ago.

Thanks Oracle. A jockey agent seeme to be a popular move for ex-jocks (it only makes sense).

Brings back memories of him riding Thunder Rumble to victory
in the Travers. Wasn't McCauley a huge UNC Tarheels fan.

Thunder Rumble--now that is a horse I haven't heard of in a long time. Didnt he also win the Jim Dandy and the Count Fleet as well. I just remember that horse being feast or famine. Either he won or didnt come close.

Yes he won the Jim Dandy. Didn't he also ride the turf horse Solar Splendor

He also rode Devil His Due for a period of time.. and Wallenda....

And more than likely he rode them poorly.

I was cracking up over the weekend BTW. I saw Channing Hill give a horse a good ride...she took horse right up the rail and swung the horse a bit wide and drew off. I thought of you when.

Channing Hill is a he.

now thats a statment...euro are you kidding..please tell me you dont wager on ny racing and not know this...............

Sorry a HE.

No, I dont wager on NY racing all that much. I dont really follow it anymore. I used to be into it in the 1980's.

I don't remember too well.... I remember liking Herb after Wallenda won the Super Derby though....

Add this to the trivia thread... What heavy favorite went down to defeat in the 93 Super Derby?

For those who don't know.. this is Frauding Hill...

Since I can't remember Sea Hero running at Belmont that Fall I will stab with him. Else maybe Kissin Kris?

You're close on Kissin Kris, he was in there too..

Here's a clue.. he was Canadian triple crown winner....

The great Peteski.

Peteski?

Off topic, but my fave Canadian triple crown winning horse is With Approval. :D

There ya go.. for Roger Attfield and Craig Perret...
