After Year Of Opening Doors, Apprentice Kylee Jordan Hopes For Eclipse Nod

Jockey Kylee Jordan is named on four horses Saturday afternoon at Oaklawn. She's in another type of race, too, one that will be decided hours before her first scheduled mount.

After a breakout 2022, highlighted by riding titles at Will Rogers Downs and Prairie Meadows, Jordan will learn Saturday morning if her resume was strong enough to be named one of three finalists for an Eclipse Award as the country's outstanding apprentice jockey.

Jordan's father, trainer Todd Jordan, didn't have a vote, but he does have an opinion.

“Think so,” he said.

Kylee Jordan, 20, won eight races at the 2021-2022 Oaklawn meeting, with seven coming in 2022 after returning from a shoulder injury. Her career took off last spring when she rode at Will Rogers Downs on Oaklawn's dark days. Jordan rode four winners opening day (March 21) and finished with 44 victories, including her first career stakes score, at the northeast Oklahoma venue.

Normally, Jordan would make the 4 ½-hour drive to Will Rogers following Sunday's races at Oaklawn. She would ride Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Will Rogers and return to Hot Springs Wednesday night.

“I get on a lot of horses over there in the morning,” Jordan said. “Like I was taking 15 horses out in the morning. But I just made a lot of good connections over there and they were all willing to give me the opportunity to ride their horse, so it worked out.”

Jordan rode that momentum to Prairie Meadows in her native Iowa, where she topped the standings in victories (81) and purse earnings ($2,087,351). She lost her 5-pound apprentice weight allowance about two weeks before the meeting ended Oct. 2.

Five of Jordan's victories at Prairie Meadows, including four stakes, came aboard Tyler's Tribe, the 2-year-old Iowa-bred sensation for co-owner/trainer Tim Martin of Hot Springs.

“I've known her and her family, her dad, Todd, forever, from Prairie Meadows,” Martin said. “I've been there 20 years. I think she's a good little rider. At the time she had the bug, she only got to use it one time with Tyler's Tribe in a race because all the others were stakes races. She was doing great, so she hooked up with this horse. She gets along with babies real good. She's really good about calming them down and relaxing them. She's kind of laid back. I put her on him and left her on. I plan to keep her there.”

Tyler's Tribe provided Jordan with her biggest racing moment to date when she rode the gelding in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1) Nov. 4 at Keeneland.

“That horse opened a lot of doors for me,” Jordan said.

According to Daily Racing Form statistics, Jordan had 621 mounts as an apprentice in 2022. She rode 116 winners, with her mounts generating $2,505,635 in purse earnings. Jordan's final day as an apprentice was Sept. 16.

“I've watched her on horses, galloping and everything,” said Todd Jordan, who has a small string this season at Oaklawn. “I guess I knew she kind of had it. But I think after the first five wins, I suppose, was when I knew it. She's done good.”

Kylee Jordan recorded her first career Oaklawn riding double Dec. 9, opening day of the 2022-2023 meeting. One of the victories was aboard Wesleyan ($63.80) for Martin.

Eclipse Awards finalists, three in each human and horse category, will be revealed at 10:30 a.m. (Central) Saturday during a live broadcast by FanDuel TV. The 52nd annual Eclipse Awards Dinner is Jan. 26 in Palm Beach, Fla. The three Horse of the Year finalists will be announced earlier during the ceremony.

Eclipse Awards honor horses and individuals whose achievements in North America earned them championship titles in their respective categories. Voting is conducted by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (member racetrack racing officials and Equibase field personnel), National Turf Writers and Broadcasters and Daily Racing Form.

Media Eclipse Award winners will be presented their trophies at the 52nd Annual Eclipse Awards Ceremony and Dinner at The Breakers Palm Beach in Florida on Thursday, Jan. 26.

Feature/Commentary Writing – Tim Layden

Layden, a writer-at-large for NBC Sports, has won his third Media Eclipse Award for “Beneath the Super Bowl's Turf: The Ghosts of Hollywood Park,” which was published on NBCSports.com on Feb. 8, 2022. Layden, from Simsbury, Conn., won his first Eclipse Award in 1987 for Newspaper writing for Capital Newspapers in Albany, N.Y., and in 2018 for Sports Illustrated, for his Feature/Commentary article on track announcer Charles “Chic” Anderson.

“I'm happy for, and thankful to the people at NBCSports.com, who gave me a place to publish my work after I left Sports Illustrated, and have been unfailingly supportive,” said Layden. “It's a thrill to see that work recognized, not just because we all like to be recognized, but also because of NBC's enduring relationship with racing.”

Super Bowl LVI in February 2021 was being played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., which was once the site of Hollywood Park, one of America's most prominent and successful racetracks of the 20th Century, with the biggest names in show business enjoying such outstanding horses as Seabiscuit, and Triple Crown winners Citation, Seattle Slew and Affirmed. Hollywood Park hosted the first Breeders' Cup in 1984.

“NBC owned the rights to Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium. Ron Vaccaro, NBC's Vice President for Content, who I work with frequently, wondered if there might be something to write about the fact that SoFi Stadium sat on the ground that once was Hollywood Park,” Layden recalled. “It was a terrific idea. I love stories that connect the present to the past, and I had seen the old Hollywood Park, and like so many other frequent travelers, had watched the transformation during the approach to the LAX, where you could look down and see it happening.”

In his article, Layden drew a picture of the workmanlike atmosphere of Hollywood Park through the words of Hall of Fame Jockey Laffit Pincay, Jr., two-time Kentucky Derby winning trainer Doug O'Neill, and John Shirreffs, who trained Horse of the Year Zenyatta at Barn 55.

Honorable mention in the Feature/Commentary category went to three-time Eclipse Award winner Natalie Voss for “After Rough Entry To The World, 'Gumbo' The Colt Is Overcoming The Odds,” which appeared in the Paulick Report on Sept. 5, 2022, and to former Eclipse Award winner Bryce Miller for “Complicated Case of Horse Racing Trainer Peter Miller Returns to Del Mar,” which was published in the San Diego Union-Tribune on July 21, 2022.

Judges in the Feature/Commentary category were Reid Cherner, former sports and racing writer, and columnist for USA Today; Tom LaMarra, Director of Communications and Backstretch Services for the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association and Amy Owens, Communications Associate at Keeneland.

News/Enterprise – Tom Law

In “Big Tally,” Law, born and raised in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., covered the 2022 Preakness Stakes for Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred and reported on the victory by Klaravich Stable's Early Voting in the second jewel of racing's Triple Crown at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md. This is the second Eclipse Award for Law, who shared the 2011 Audio/Multimedia and Internet Award with Greg Charkoudian of Thoroughbred Times, where he worked for more than 14 years in Lexington before joining ST Publishing as Managing Editor in 2012.

“Winning a second Eclipse Award is an incredible honor, and especially satisfying to be recognized for the coverage of a historic event like the Preakness,” said Law.

Enveloping crisp race reporting, Law bolstered his piece with quotes from winning trainer Chad Brown's decision to skip the Kentucky Derby for Early Voting, and his preparations prior to the Preakness in Baltimore. Law also brought to light jockey Jose Ortiz's decision to take the mount on Early Voting, and his calculated ride to victory.

“One of the many things I've learned working with colleagues, friends, and partners Joe and Sean Clancy for more than 10 years is there's always a story behind the story, and probably even another story,” said Law. “That was the case with Early Voting and his connections, who kept the colt in New York for the winter, skipped the Kentucky Derby, and were rewarded for those moves in the Preakness. Jockey Jose Ortiz also provided great insight into his early impressions of Early Voting and a short conversation with him an hour after the race laid the groundwork for my coverage.”

Honorable mention in the News/Enterprise category went to five-time Eclipse Award winner Jay Hovdey for “Flightline Lands a Special Place in History,” which was published in the BloodHorse Daily on Sept. 4, 2022, and to Paul Halloran for “Fairytale,” about Cody's Wish, which was published in the Saratoga Special on Aug. 31, 2022.

Judges in the News/Enterprise category were Bob Kieckhefer, racing writer for United Press International; Dan Liebman, former editor of The BloodHorse and The State-Journal in Frankfort, Ky., and Robert Yates, writer for Oaklawn Park Media Relations.

Television – Live Racing Programming – NBC Sports

For the third consecutive year, NBC Sports has won the Eclipse Award for Live Television Programming for its broadcast on NBC, Peacock, and the USA Network, culminating its two-day coverage of the 39th Breeders' Cup World Championships from Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., with the scintillating performance of Flightline in the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic.

Continuing to provide its audience with technical innovations and multiple viewing opportunities, NBC Sports employed unique perspectives from the track with access to approximately 75 video sources, including multiple live jockey cams and jockey and trainer/owner mics; a backstretch camera; jockey cams connecting to real-time data that allowed viewers to see graphic overlays on replays, including speed, current position, distance from the leader, and distance from the finish; and a megaladon camera to share live-action footage of the fashion and flavors surrounding the event. For individual access to the horses, NBC Sports utilized Breeders' Cup Contender Cams, featuring paddock ISO cameras and front-side ISO roof cameras. For the first time, NBC Sports added a side set with a full-screen telestration monitor for our two desk analysts to be able to take a deep dive into each Breeders' Cup race.

“At NBC Sports, we are grateful to be a part of the biggest horse racing events in the country – and this year's Breeders' Cup capped them all off with an absolute flourish,” said NBC Sports Senior Producer of Horse Racing Lindsay Schanzer. “The entire weekend was a thrill, highlighted by the inspirational story of Dirt Mile winner Cody's Wish and his namesake Cody Dorman, and the otherworldly Flightline finishing his illustrious career with a dominant win in the Classic. These are the moments you dream about covering in sports and in racing. We are incredibly proud of this broadcast and thank our NBC Sports colleagues and our partners at Breeders' Cup for all of their efforts to make this possible.”

Joining Schanzer on the production team were director Kaare Numme; assistant producer Caroline Sayer; assistant director Jared Sumner; associate director Jeff Burriesci and editorial producer Amy Zimmerman.

The NBC talent team was comprised of Ahmed Fareed, Jerry Bailey, Randy Moss, Britney Eurton, Donna Brothers, Kenny Rice, Nick Luck, Matt Bernier, Steve Kornacki, and Larry Collmus.

Judges in the Live Television Programming category were Jeannine Edwards, multiple award-winning reporter, and analyst for ESPN from 1995-2018; Dick Jerardi, who covered more than three decades of Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup races for Philadelphia Daily News and Chris Svendsen, Director – CBS Sports.

Television Feature – NBC Sports

In “Cody's Wish” NBC Sports produced a feature, which aired on USA Network on Nov. 5, on one of the most heartwarming stories of 2022 about teenager Cody Dorman, and the racehorse Cody's Wish. Cody Dorman was stricken at birth with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects many parts of the body. At age 4, in a chance visit through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Cody went to Gainsborough Farm in Versailles, Ky., and immediately bonded with a young foal, who was later named Cody's Wish. After Cody's Wish had begun racing, Cody came to see him win his first race at Churchill Downs in 2021. Cody went to subsequent races to see Cody's Wish win twice more. After the segment aired, Cody was also at Keeneland to see Cody's Wish win the Big Ass Fans Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Keeneland during the World Championships.

“For as long as I've been working on horseracing, I can't recall a connection between horse and human like the bond shared by Cody Dorman and Cody's Wish. That horse has truly made a lasting impact on Cody's life,” said NBC Sports Coordinating Producer Jack Felling, “Cody is such a courageous young man, and his parents, Kelly and Leslie, are two of the most selfless and loving people I've ever met on the job. The sight of the Dormans celebrating together after Cody's Wish won the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile is a scene I'll never forget. That was horseracing at its very best. All of us at NBC Sports feel lucky to have had the chance to tell that story.”

“Cody's Wish” was narrated by former NBC award-winning broadcaster Tom Hammond. Ryan Yeager was the editor. Lindsay Schanzer is NBC Sports Senior Producer for Horse Racing.

Honorable Mention in the Television Feature category went to ESPN for “Bob Baffert Conversation,” produced by Kristine Kugler, which aired on May 6, 2022.

Judges in the Television Features category were Liz Bronstein, television showrunner and executive producer, and creator of the Animal Planet 2008-09 series “Jockeys”; Bruce Casella, Television producer and director, Pushin a Rock Productions, and Lenny Shulman, Emmy Award-winning writer/producer; author, and former senior correspondent for Bloodhorse.

Audio/Multimedia – Horse Racing Radio Network (HRRN)

Horse Racing Radio Network has won its third Audio/ Multimedia Eclipse Award for its live broadcast of the Breeders' Cup World Championships on Nov. 4-5, 2022 at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky.

“To be honored with a third Eclipse Award is extremely special,” said HRRN President and broadcast anchor Mike Penna. “When we launched HRRN nearly 20 years ago, our only goal was to create something that would help the sport in some way. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, our listeners, and everyone who has ever taken the time to join us as a guest on our shows, we have been able to continue to tell the stories which make our sport great. We are truly grateful and humbled to be recognized once again.”

The 2022 Longines Breeders' Cup Classic was one of the most anticipated races of the season, headlined by the remarkable Flightline, who was undefeated in five career starts prior to the race. HRRN reached behind the scenes with pre-race interviews with Flightline's co-owner and breeder, Jane Lyon, and produced a feature telling the story of Flightline as a baby before he became a star on the track. While Flightline was the primary storyline associated with the Classic, the HRRN team also spoke to connections of his talented rivals, which included WinStar Farm's CEO Elliott Walden and their four-time Grade 1 winner Life Is Good. Trainer Eric Reed discussed Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike and the possibility of wrapping up a three-year-old championship with a Classic win, as well as discussions with Hall of Famers Todd Pletcher, Steve Asmussen, and Mike Smith. Immediately after the race, John Velazquez, who rode Happy Saver, shared his thoughts on Flightline and what it was like competing against him.

In addition to Penna, the HRRN analyst team included Bobby Neuman, Jude Feld, and Jeff Bloom. Keeneland announcer Kurt Becker provided the live call of the Breeders' Cup Classic. The broadcast was produced by Lee Dellapina along with engineer Shawn Seay. Production assistance was contributed by Feld, Justin Taylor, Keith O'Brien, Fanny Salmon, and Michelle Penna.

Honorable mention in the Audio Multimedia category went to Horse Racing Nation for “Jockey gets her 1st Saratoga win on filly trained by her dad,” about Robbie Davis and his daughter Jackie. The video was produced by Andrew Capone and was posted on Aug. 13, 2002.

Judges in the Audio/Multimedia category were Glenn Crouter, former lead television anchor for Woodbine Live Network and sports and lifestyle announcer for Newstalk 1010 in Toronto; Bob Curran, longtime Vice President of Corporate Communications for The Jockey Club and graduate of the St. Bonaventure University journalism program; and Julie Sarno, freelance writer, a former editorial staff member of The BloodHorse, staff member at The Meadowlands, staff member and Department Head at Del Mar.

Photography – Wendy Wooley

Wooley, from Lexington, Ky., has won her first Eclipse Award, for “Elbow Room Please,” a head-on photograph of the $500,000 Lukas Classic at Churchill Downs on Oct. 1, depicting a furious stretch battle between Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve winner Rich Strike and the eventual 2021 Kentucky Derby runner-up Hot Rod Charlie. Wooley's image captured Rich's Strike's jockey, Sonny Leon, attempting to elbow jockey Tyler Gaffalione and his mount, Hot Rod Charlie, in the battle to the wire. Hot Rod Charlie prevailed in the Lukas Classic by a half-length.

“Winning an Eclipse Award feels surreal to me! It's an amazing honor,” said Wooley. “I'm a bit speechless. I grew up in the Detroit area as a typical horse-crazy girl. I always watched racing on television and I'll never forget when Affirmed won the Triple Crown. I got out of racing when my life had me going in a different direction but then Barbaro reignited my interest. I started shooting racing in the Chicago area since that was the closest track for me at the time. It was fun and photographing horse racing is how I eventually met my husband, Matt, and moved to Lexington.”

The Wooleys, full-time photographers working for many farms in Central Kentucky, run EquiSport Photos and have been shooting for the Paulick Report for nearly 10 years.

They were at Churchill on Oct. 1 to primarily shoot the Ack Ack Stakes on assignment for the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series race, but also took a great interest in the Lukas Classic, which was Rich Strike's first race at Churchill since winning the Derby.

“Since I shoot with big glass (600mm lens) I usually like to shoot head-on,” Wooley remembers in setting up her shot using a Canon R3 camera. “So that's where I went, down at the clubhouse turn going around the turn enough so that I get them running straight towards me, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing through my camera while shooting.”

When Wooley returned to the Churchill Downs media center, she found multiple Eclipse Award-winning writer Jennie Rees and said, “You've got to see this!” and showed her the whole sequence of images. “We both chalked it up to some rough race riding. I sent the image to the Paulick Report and Ray wrote me back with 'this is a heckuva shot.' That's when I knew it was a special image. I realized I was the only one with that angle too. No one else shot the head on that day.”

The winning photograph can be viewed here.

Honorable Mention in the Photography category went to former Eclipse Award winner Scott Serio for his photo “The Coach” of Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas, which appeared first on Hipismo.net on Nov. 15, 2022.

Judges in the category were Mark Abraham, freelance photographer and currently deputy director of the United States Senate Press Photographers' Gallery; Rob Carr, Getty Images/Chief Photographer, Sport and Mike Kane, veteran Thoroughbred journalist, and photographer.

Edward L. Bowen Named Thoroughbred Club Of America’s 2022 Honor Guest

Edward L. Bowen has been selected by the Board of Directors of the Thoroughbred Club of America as the 2022 Honor Guest, Club President Tony Lacy announced Jan. 5.

“The Thoroughbred Club of America is delighted to name Edward Bowen as its 2022 Honor Guest,” said Lacy. “Ed is respected worldwide for his integrity, talent and love of racing, and his wide-ranging contributions to the horse industry cannot be overstated. He has been the steward of such cornerstone institutions as the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation and BloodHorse, an Eclipse Award-winning journalist, prolific author and guardian of the important history of our great sport. We congratulate Ed and thank him for his lifelong commitment to the betterment of racing.”

Mr. Bowen will be honored by the Club at its 91st Testimonial Dinner, which will be held at Keeneland on Friday, March 31, 2023. Designation as the 2022 award recipient reflects postponements of the annual event caused by the COVID pandemic.

Bowen, a racing journalist and historian for some 60 years, is a former editor-in-chief of The Blood-Horse magazine and the author of 22 books on horse racing. He also served 24 years as President of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, traditionally the leading source of funding for veterinary research specifically to promote horse health and soundness.

Bowen was born on Dec. 23, 1942, in Welch, W.Va. His family moved to South Florida, and he grew up in Fort Lauderdale. He developed an early interest in horse racing, influenced by horseback riding, reading the Black Stallion books by Walter Farley, and watching locally televised stakes races from Hialeah and Gulfstream Park. Bowen spent post-high school and college summers working for the local Sun-Sentinel newspaper, on the broodmare crew at Ocala Stud in Florida, and as a hot walker and groom at Monmouth Park in New Jersey. In 1963, he secured a writing job at The Blood-Horse in Lexington and transferred from the University of Florida to the University of Kentucky.

From 1968-70, he was editor of the monthly Canadian Horse magazine in Toronto, Ontario, then returned to Lexington to become managing editor of The Blood-Horse. In January of 1987, he succeeded his mentor, Kent Hollingsworth, as editor-in-chief. Bowen held that post for five years, was transferred to senior editor in 1992, and left the publication in 1993. He was hired as president of Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation in 1994.

During his 24 years with Grayson, Bowen felt fortunate to work for such industry leaders as John Hettinger and Dell Hancock, chairs of the Foundation, plus active and dedicated boards of directors. From 1994 until his retirement at the end of 2018, Bowen's role included support of the board's raising sufficient funds to provide $22 million for research projects. That total was significant in raising to $32.1 million, which was provided to 45 universities to fund 412 projects since 1983. The Foundation supports research for all horses, not only Thoroughbreds.

Both during and after his employment at The Blood-Horse, Bowen has been active in writing books commissioned by that firm as well as other publishers. In addition to authoring 22 racing books, he has contributed chapters, forewords, or prefaces for 17 additional volumes on Thoroughbreds and two books on natural attractions open to the public.

In addition to The Blood-Horse and Canadian Horse, Bowen's work has been published in the following periodicals: Southern Living, Toronto Star, Bloodstock Breeders' Review (Annual, England), Thoroughbred Times, Lexington Herald-Leader, Sun-Sentinel (South Florida), Courses & Elevage (France), Futurity (Japan), and Jockey Club (Argentina).

Bowen has won the following writing awards: Eclipse Award (magazine division), National Turf Writers Association's Walter Haight Award, Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders' Charles Engelhard Award, Pimlico's Old Hilltop Award, ForeWord Magazine's Gold Level designation (Sports Category), and the Ocala-Marion County Chamber of Commerce Journalism Award.

Bowen, a Kentucky Colonel, is a Past-President of the Thoroughbred Club of America and a former board member of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. He is currently a trustee of the National Museum of Racing, for which he has served for some 35 years as chairman of its Hall of Fame Nominating Committee and is also chairman of its Joe Hirsch Media Roll of Honor Selection Committee.

Bowen served six years in the United States Army Reserve and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. He and his wife, Ruthie, live in Versailles, Ky., and are parents of a son, George. Bowen also is the father of daughters Jennifer Schafhauser (Eric) and Tracy Bowen and of granddaughters Emily Schafhauser and Julia Schafhauser.

The Thoroughbred Club Testimonial Dinner was inaugurated in 1932, the year the Club was founded, to recognize distinguished contributions of leadership as well as success in the Thoroughbred industry. The first recipient was Col. E. R. Bradley, and other winners include William Woodward Sr., three generations of the Hancock family of Claiborne Farm, plus Ted Bassett, Shug McGaughey, Alice Chandler, Chris McCarron, and The Honorable Brereton C. Jones.
