Bill Hartack Legendary Horse Racing Jockey 5 X Kentucky Derby Winner Twice Signed AUTO United States Passport

Bill Hartack (1932–2007) was one of horse racing's greatest jockeys, winning five Kentucky Derbys (1957, 1960, 1962, 1964, 1969), four Preakness Stakess, and the 1960 Belmont Stakes aboard Celtic Ash. Inducted into the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame in 1959 at age 26, Hartack appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated in 1956 and 1964 and Time magazine in 1958. In 1967, he authored the Sports Illustrated series A Hard Ride All The Way, detailing his remarkable career and often-contentious relationships within the racing world.

Unlike many Hall of Fame jockeys who regularly signed through the mail or at racetracks, Hartack was generally not known as a prolific signer after retirement.
