Best Answer

That the first winning jockey and the first winning trainer were African Americans is an interesting fact about black people and the Kentucky Derby. Oliver Lewis [1855? 1856?, Fayette County, Kentucky - 1924] was the winning jockey at the inaugural Kentucky Derby of May 17, 1875. The winning horse, Aristides, was trained by Ansel Williamson, a posthumous inductee into the Racing Hall of Fame in 1998.
