There is nothing more special in horse racing than the Triple Crown races, and no jockey was ever more special in these classics than Eddie Arcaro. In a span of 18 years, the rider known as 'The Master' rode a record 17 winners in these races for 3-year-olds and became the only jockey to be aboard two Triple Crown champions (Whirlaway and Citation). http://espn.go.com/sportscentury/features/00014070.html [Added reference link - McG] Mar 13 02, 5:01 PM

Banana Nose Edward Arcaro (February 19, 1916 - November 4, 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. Arcaro was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of an impoverished taxi driver. Eventually nicknamed "Banana Nose" by his confreres, Arcaro won his first race in 1932 at the Agua Caliente racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Arcaro [Added supporting reference - McG] Mar 01 09, 1:52 PM
