Somewhere on the west coast, LA or San Diego, in the 70s.

He said his name was Eddie Arcaro and, while that didn't mean anything to me, we had an interesting conversation about being a jockey, horses, farms, stuff.

I never forget that, especially the name, and then someone told me who he was.

George Edward Arcaro (February 19, 1916 – November 14, 1997), known professionally as Eddie Arcaro, was an American Thoroughbred horse racing Hall of Fame jockey who won more American classic races than any other jockey in history and is the only rider to have won the U.S. Triple Crown twice. He is widely regarded as the greatest jockey in the history of American Thoroughbred horse racing.
