The Greatest Sports Legends was a syndicated TV series that ran from 1972 to 1993, with a significant focus on sports icons, including many from the 1980s. This one featured Hall of Fame Jockey Angel Cordero, Jr., a legend on the New York racing scene.
Key moments in the video: Riding a horse, what does it feel like? Keys to his success. Riding Bold Forbes in the Kentucky Derby. Winning the Preakness Stakes, and more.
One commentary wrote: “When my father took me to the racetracks at Aqueduct and Belmont Park,when I was young in the 70s I fell in love with horse racing and Angel Cordero was like a big idol to me…I wanted to become a jockey but I over grew and it probably wasn’t in the cards for me….but if that dream ever came,I would aim to be like Cordero….the best.”
