ROTARY MOMENT None tonight. GUEST SPEAKER : Sandy Hawley Introduced by Bob Stewart Thanked by our Rotary Club Past Presdient and vet at Windfields Farm Dr. Rolph deGannes Sandy Hawley, without a doubt, is one of the greatest race-riders ever produced in Canada. Hawley, a brilliant athlete and ambassador for the sport of Thoroughbred racing, has set new standards for jockeys. In the high stakes environment of racing, Hawley has distinguished himself with his clean living, fierce competitiveness and an uncanny way with horses. He currently ranks eighth among jockeys in career wins, and has been called the crown prince of the “Sport of Kings”. Sandy Hawley was born April 16, 1949 in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Hawley started his career in 1966 as a 17-year-old boy, hot walking horses at a Toronto racetrack. Two years later, he became a regular rider at racetracks in Ontario. He learned how to ride under the tutelage of Duke Campbell, a trainer Sandy still credits today as one of his greatest sporting influences. Hawley won his first career race aboard Fly Alone on October 14, 1968 at Woodbine, going on to win three more races in a modest first year. Hawley went on to become North America's top apprentice jockey in 1969 and then led in victories for the years 1970, 1972, 1973 and 1976. In 1970 he was the continent's leading race-winning jockey with 452 wins. In 1972 he tallied another North American title with 367 wins, and in the 1973 season, he became the first jockey to ever win 500 races in one year breaking Bill Shoemaker's record. He closed the 1973 season with 515 wins. Sandy left Woodbine to try the tough Southern California circuit in the winter months of 1972-73. He thrived there, winning thousands of races and in 1976 was named the winner of Santa Anita Park's prestigious George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award. Given to a rider who demonstrates high standards of personal and professional conduct both on and off the racetrack, Sandy Hawley has had the lifelong reputation of being a gentleman and a man of honor. In the same year he won the National Thoroughbred Racing Association’s Eclipse Award as North America's most outstanding jockey after he broke thoroughbred racing's all-time money-winning record for a single year. He considers Youth, winner of the 1976 Washington D.C. International, his best mount. |
