  • Protagonist · Yes he was, it's a sham that the owners dream came true after he switched jockeys' . The owners dream was that his jockey would miss judge the wire in the Derby ,just as Bill Shoemaker unfortunately did do on Gallant Man. Gallant Man's offspring did okay also, his son My Gallant ( Trained by Lou Goldfine ) was in the 1973 Kentucky Derby, and almost all of us know who won that one,SECRETARIAT ( Trained by Lucian Laurin ). Gallant Mans grandson Lord Gallant also did very well in the 1980's, what a Handsome and delightful horse he was . Good Luck Mickey /Jan wherever you might be! · 108 days ago ·
