He is inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame; In 1978, he became the youngest jockey to win the Triple Crown on Affirmed

Steve Cauthen is a name synonymous with excellence in horse racing, particularly for his achievements as a jockey in both the United States and Europe. Born on May 1, 1960, Cauthen made an indelible mark on the sport at a very young age. In 1977, he became the first jockey to earn over $6 million in a single year, a feat that highlighted his exceptional talent and work ethic. His partnership with agent Lenny Goodman helped him secure top rides, and his success quickly made him a household name in the racing world.

Cauthen's crowning achievement came in 1978 when he became the youngest jockey to win the U.S. Triple Crown, riding Affirmed to victory in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. This historic accomplishment solidified his place in horse racing history, and to this day, he remains the youngest jockey to have ever achieved this feat. His ability to handle pressure and deliver in high-stakes races earned him widespread admiration and respect from both fans and peers.

After his early success in the United States, Cauthen made the bold decision to take his talents to Europe, where he continued to excel. He became the only jockey to win both the Kentucky Derby and the prestigious Epsom Derby, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest jockeys of all time. His adaptability to different racing styles and conditions across continents showcased his versatility and deep understanding of the sport.

Throughout his career, Cauthen received numerous accolades, including being named Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year, the only jockey to ever receive this honor. His contributions to horse racing have left an enduring legacy, and his name remains synonymous with excellence in the sport. His remarkable achievements continue to inspire future generations of jockeys and horse racing enthusiasts alike.
