One of Pat Day's most notable achievements is his success in the Triple Crown races, where he secured nine victories. These races, which include the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes, are the pinnacle of American horse racing, and Day's ability to consistently win in these events speaks to his talent and determination. In addition to his Triple Crown success, Day also won 12 Breeders' Cup races, further cementing his legacy as one of the sport's most successful jockeys. His victory in the inaugural $3 million Breeders' Cup Classic in 1984 aboard Wild Again remains one of the most memorable moments in racing history.
Day's career was not only defined by his wins but also by his longevity and consistency. He retired in 2005 with 8,803 career wins, ranking him fourth all-time in victories. He was also the all-time leading jockey in money earned at the time of his retirement, a reflection of his sustained excellence over the years. Day was a dominant force on the Kentucky riding circuit, where he set career riding records at both Churchill Downs and Keeneland, two of the most prestigious tracks in the country. His partnership with the horse Easy Goer, particularly in the rivalry with Sunday Silence, is still remembered as one of the great rivalries in horse racing.
Pat Day's influence on the sport of horse racing extends beyond his individual accomplishments. His professionalism, work ethic, and sportsmanship have made him a role model for aspiring jockeys and a respected figure in the racing community. Even after his retirement, Day's legacy continues to inspire future generations of riders. His contributions to the sport have earned him numerous accolades, including his induction into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. Day's impact on horse racing is undeniable, and his name will forever be associated with excellence in the sport.
