African American to ride in Derby
The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Marlon St. Julien was awakened from a nap by a phone call that lasted only a few minutes but spanned 79 years of Kentucky Derby history.
The caller, a reporter, informed him that he would be the first African-American jockey since 1921 to ride in the world's most famous horse race.
"I just want to be considered as one of the best riders in the country, whether Black, White, purple, blue or brown," he said. "I also want to leave the game with a lot of respect and say I accomplished a lot in my career."
St. Julien, 28, will ride Curule, a 50-to-1 long shot who earned a spot in the 19-horse field Wednesday with the defection of Harlan Traveler. The horse is owned by Godolphin Racing, which represents two sheiks that are members of Dubai's ruling family.
"I get the chills watching it on
TV, so I'll get a lot more goosey bumps coming out there," he said. "I'm sure it'll be a feeling of a lifetime."
St. Julien, from Lafayette, La,
became interested in racing
through three uncles who had
horses when he was young. The 5-
foot-4-inch man who weighs 115
pounds rode in his first race at 17
and won for the first time in 1989.
"I proved them all wrong." he said.
African-American jockeys dominated the early years of the Kentucky Derby. Thirteen of the 15 riders in the first Derby in 1875 were African American, and African Americans won 15 of the Derby's first 28 runnings.
The only discouragement St. Julien said he heard was from other African Americans in his hometown. They told him he would never succeed in the predominantly White sport.
Isaac Murphy was the most successful, becoming the first to win
three Derbies and first to win in consecutive years (1884, 1890 and 1891).
James Winkfield was the last African-American jockey to win the Derby, riding consecutive champions in 1901-02. The last African-American jockey in the race, Henry King, finished 10th aboard Planet, a 81-to-1 long shot.
These days, there aren't many African-American exercise riders, said Cot Campbell, co-owner of Derby horses Impeachment and Trippi.
By the early 1900s, the presence of African-American riders and trainers in the Derby began decreasing, largely because of social and economic pressures that prompted migrations from farms to Northern cities and resentment from the White racing community.
He said he didn't believe discrimination had been an issue for St. Julien, who rode a winner for Campbell last Sunday at Churchill Downs.
Goalie's return helps Wizards' record
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tony Meola doesn't mind being called a veteran. After all, he has been playing soccer on the international level since he was 20 years old.
Just don't call the Kansas City Wizards goalkeeper old.
"It seems that every interview, especially with the national team, starts out. 'Now that you're one of the older guys ...'" Meola said. "I'm 31. I'm not old, especially for a goalkeeper."
Meola's numbers so far this season back him up.
After sitting most of last season while recovering from knee surgery, Meola now is a major factor in the Wizards' recovery from an 8-24 finish to a 6-01 start in 2000.
"We have the best goalkeeper in the league, and not only because he flies around like an acrobat back there," said
Kansas City coach Bob Gansler, who also coached Meola in the 1990 World Cup. "He is so knowledgeable about the game, and he is also the best offensive goalkeeper in the league. As soon as he gets the ball he's a playmaker."
Last year, Meola had few chances to make any sort of play. He missed all but nine games after he tore two knee ligaments in the preseason.
Gansler noticed a difference when Meola attended the Wizards' preseason camp.
"I've never seen him this fit," Gansler said. "Ten years ago, his mom was such a good cook and he
never passed up a meal. Now he's chiseled and so focused."
"I remember it used to be that if someone would make a mistake, Tony would tear into them," Gansler said. "Now he's the one to put his arm around their shoulders."
His approach to teammates also has changed.
Meola's injury came just as he was re-establishing himself on the national team with shutouts against Bolivia and Germany.
U. S. coach Bruce Arena said he had talked to Meola about the possibility of returning to the national team as the No. 3 keeper — and he had not been surprised by Meola's return to form.
"It's always been Tony's strength that he's very technically experienced, and that has gotten even better now that he is getting closer to 100 percent."
