Hidden Legacy - The Untold Story Of America's First Sports Superstars - Black Jockeys
American jockeys for most of the nineteenth century were African Americans. It was a dangerous occupation that paid extremely well for successful jockeys. These riders were pushed out of this occupation, as jockeys became recognized as important factors in racing results and as it became increasingly lucrative, just as they were pushed out of other desirable jobs in the era of Jim Crow.
The HIDDEN LEGACY project is a fascinating look into an era
when african americans dominated America’s first national sport of thoroughbred horse racing.
The goal of the HIDDEN LEGACY project is to shed light on the often unknown and largely forgotten contributions of black athletes to America’s first national sport, by utilizing AI in conjunction with modern graphic tools to bring this rich history to life for a new generation to discover.

Hot take maybe, but horseracing is a bad sport actually and any victory for any horse is tainted by the cruelty that horse and many others had to go through just to finish the race.
It's also, like, a quintessential rich-person sport, one step below golfing and a distant cousin of live-pigeon shooting. Why does Tumblr suddenly care so much about it?

🔸 Longchamp, France. 1900. Paris had more than 80,000 horses on its streets. Elegant citizens flocked to Longchamp racecourse for entertainment; it was the place to see and be seen. #victorianchaps #goodolddays #vintage #victorian #paris #retro #longchamp #france🇫🇷 #oldphoto #nostalgia #fashion #pastlives #horseracing #history (at Longchamp) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChMbaeLACjK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bittersweet win, I’d like a non Baffert to have a chance.
Sad to see Mage didn’t do it. But I kind of don’t want another TC, I really want to bask in the glory of American Pharaoh’s win for a while. Even if that was spoiled by Justify a bit.
But congrats to National Treasure and Blazing Sevens.
