travel_vic · Many statistical leaders over the years (big fish small pond0 came from the wilds of West Virginia racing.....Now if they transfered that dominance to the NY or Calif circuit, then we could talk about them in a better light · 147 days ago ·

DeShawn L. Parker

I would like to know more about Parker as a man, I know or kind of know somewhat of his skills, though only been watching him for a little over one year! How would i ever know that Parker would see this though? Of course there are other riders I do enjoy watching, but I know others that watch him like a hawk when he rides! I had asked a long timer, why he does not get called to bigger races? Is it because he is Black? They said it is due to lack of long time experience!!! Regardless, I still love watching him in action, and truly I would like to know more about him! I am a believer in Jesus Christ, and I met Jesus personally. though I am not here to share my testimony, I must share I hope that others find Jesus as their Lord and Savor as well!

Things That Make You Go Hmmmm (7)

E-mail note from a friend and racing fan about the Eclipse Awards, “where the first African-American champion jockey since the 1800s doesn’t even get a mention … on Martin Luther King Day.” … That would be DeShawn Parker, who led all jockeys by wins in 2010 riding predominantly at Mountaineer Casino...Read More

FrancesReese Small · I have had the great pleasure of meeting Deshawn Parker and I am amazed at the lack of public interest regarding this African-American treasure. This young man is poised, and a genious in his craft. On the heels "Black History Month" February, it amazes me that we relive the history of our ancestors,yet we do not relish in living history of today. Deshawn Parker is living "African American" history. · 493 days ago ·

trenchtownrock · I don't think mentioning him on Dr. King holiday was such a big deal. The larger issue is how black jockeys are largely ignore in the sport. Bill Finely wrote an article on espn talking about the next great American jockey and nowhere in his article did he ever mention an African American jockey. I am a big shaun Bridgmohan fan and his success are largely ignored in the sport. He won the eclipse award as an apprentice and the success followed throughout his journeyman career. We ahve a tendency like we do in all sport to cling onto what is familiar and every year the new thing pops up and we hang on to them until the stars dim..case in point Fernando jara..Victor Carrera who was suppose to be the next great thing..I have no idea where he is..I just think when we think of horse racing the black athlete are ignore because the accomplishment in other sports are so obvious. Congrats to Parker for leading in wins but lets celebrate others as well. One love. · 493 days ago ·
