Only
two horsemen in the long history of the Belmont Stakes
have won the race as both jockey and trainer: James Rowe
and George Martin Odom.
Rowe won the Belmont aboard Joe Daniels and Springbok in
consecutive years (1872-73) and went on to train the
winners of eight Belmonts, Prince Eugene being his last
one in 1913. He gave Odom, then a veteran jockey, a
chance to ride Delhi in the 1904 running of the Belmont
and it brought Rowe his fourth Belmont score as a
trainer.
Rowe's eight Belmonts as a trainer still stand as the
record. In 1938, Odom joined the list of successful
Belmont Stakes trainers, saddling Pasteurized with Jimmy
Stout the rider. |
