Description
This photographic print features jockey James Stout at Jamaica Racetrack in April 1946.
Stout accumulated 2,056 wins over his career. After Stout rode Seabiscuit in the horse’s first race in January 1935 at Hialeah Park, trainer “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons bought his contract. Stout rode for Fitzsimmons for 11 years. Many of his notable wins were aboard Fitzsimmons’ horses.
Stout’s four American Classic race wins include the 1939 Kentucky Derby, and the 1936, 1938, and 1939 Belmont Stakes. He was inducted into the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame in 1968.
