Just now, Indian Way set the Philly Park 6f track record, going 107.3

Sure, another day another great IC filly, but what makes this race really remarkable is that the track record setting winner was ridden by a jockey with a Jewish Name. David Cohen.

Is this the first time ever that a track record was set with a Jewish jockey riding?

don't remember if it was a track record, but he won the sprint in Dubai that could have been a track record (tried finding it on their website, but didn't see the track records).
Cohen IS jewish. has a star of david on his pants (instead of an ad)... which was bigtime news when he ran in Dubai.

Nope, it's not the first time. Walter Blum set an Aqueduct track record while riding Gun Bow in the 1964 Brooklyn Hdcp. (Thank you, Google!)

Why does it matter that he is a Jew?

I dunno. Why don't you ask a Muslim or a Christian that question?

That question is for a different message board.

The terrific blogger COLIN'S GHOST, who focuses on legendary, forgotten or obscure racing history, happens to have just done a piece up about Colin's Jewish rider Walter Miller.
