  1. Arguably, the greatest jockey in American history, Isaac “Burns” Murphy (1861-1896) was born on a horse farm to a former slave. Murphy's family lived in downtown Lexington, Kentucky on Jordan's Row. Murphy is the first jockey to win three Kentucky Derbies (1884, 1890 and 1891) and the only jockey to win the Derby, Oaks and Clark Handicap in one meeting.
