Racing's Hall of Fame Remembers Where Eddie Maple Started

Eddie Maple's name now stands among the sport's Hall of Fame elite, a distinction built on a career that began far from any grandstand, on a farm. Not every rider who starts out mucking stalls and doing chores makes it to the winner's circle, let alone into the record books alongside racing's greats. Maple did, and his induction carries that beginning with it, a reminder that American racing's highest honors are still won the same way they always have been: one ride, one job, at a time.
