On Tuesday Jan. 7 at noon, Rodney Jenkins will be remembered during a ceremony on the second floor of the Laurel Park racetrack’s clubhouse, Racetrack Road and Route 198 Laurel, Md.
One of the greatest grand prix riders of all time anywhere in the world, Rodney also was legendary for his way with hunters. After retiring from showing in 1989, he went on to train racehorses with great success. He had 941 wins on the flat and his horses won $24.8 million during his tenure.
