Hall of Fame jockey Cliff Lambert, who rose to fame in the Quarter Horse racing world with a victory in the first-All American Futurity(G1) aboard Galobar in 1959, is the focus of episode 35 of QH Racing Talk podcast on StallioneSearch.com.
Lambert, who turns 87 years-old later in 2023, sits down with QH Racing Talk host Greg Thompson to discuss key events of his racing career that included stints as a jockey, trainer, jockey's agent, assistant starter, and as a the first-ever racing secretary when Evangeline Downs opened for business in the mid-1960's. Lambert spent the bulk of his career as a successful trainer after retiring from the saddle multiple decades ago.
Lambert not only goes in-depth about the victory aboard Galobar in 1959, but discusses with first-hand knowledge about such legendary runners as Tonto Bars Hank, Rocket Bar, and Go Man Go.
