Eddie Arcaro: Courtesy Special Collections and Digital Programs, University of Kentucky Libraries

The Nunn Center’s oral history interview with legendary jockey Eddie Arcaro has been recently uploaded to the Kentuckiana Digital Library.  Arcaro is considered by many as the greatest jockey in horse racing history being the only jockey to have won the Triple Crown twice.  Additionally, Arcaro started as a rider for Calumet Farm in 1934 which is in the news this week.  In honor of this year’s Kentucky Derby, I thought I would point you to two episodes of Saving Stories on WUKY that we recorded featuring Arcaro. 

Listen to the episodes:

Part 1 |   Part 2
