On this episode, Greg Thompson of StallioneSearch.com interviews the 1987 AQHA World Champion jockey James Lackey about his upbringing in Oklahoma to his career highlights during what industry historians feel was the heyday of racing in California during the 1980's and 1990's.
Amongst the accolades given to Lackey following his retirement from the saddle after a severe back injury, Lackey was inducted into the 2017 Ruidoso Racehorse Hall of Fame in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Lackey discusses some of the top horses he had the privilege of riding while working with Hall of Fame trainer Blaine Schvaneveldt in California, as well as with Hall of Fame trainer Dwayne "Sleepy" Gilbreath.
