Jerry Nicodemus
Jerry Nicodemus' accomplishments rank him among the greatest American Quarter Horse jockeys of all-time. Retiring in 1993 after 30 years aboard racehorses, Nicodemus won every major American Quarter Horse stakes race, many of them several times. He was a four-time winner of the prestigious Champion of Champions race, including consecutive wins on Dash For Cash in 1976 and 1977. Three times he won the All American Futurity in 22 starts and made five trips to the winner's circle in the All American Derby. Nicodemus won 1,252 races and his mounts earned nearly $19 million in purses.
