Biography [ edit ]
Born in Gilroy, California on August 16, 1887,[1] Emeryville Race Track near Oakland, California . In 1904 he won the Burns Handicap which at the time was the most important race in California. Prominent owners on the East Coast took notice and Hildebrand competed at the big New York tracks where at Gravesend Race Track he won the 1904 Preakness Stakes on May 28 aboard the colt Bryn Mawr .[2] stakes races including the most prestigious event of that era, the Belmont Futurity Stakes . Back on the West Coast for the winter racing season, on December 23, 1904, Hildebrand set a new world record for wins in a year when he rode win number 293 at Ascot Park in Los Angeles . He would finish the year as the national champion in total races won with 297 and in stakes wins with 35.[3] [4] [5]
Returning to the East Coast in 1905, on May 24 Hildebrand rode the filly Tanya to victory in the 1905 Belmont Stakes in its first running at the new Belmont Park track in Elmont, New York .[6] Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas . From three mounts in the first three races on the day's card , he finished second in the opening race, won the second race, and finished fourth in the third race.[7]
Gene Hildebrand battled weight gain which hindered his racing and would force him to retire from riding in 1909. For several years he remained in the industry as an owner of a small stable of racehorses. In 1919 he fell ill with a flu that plagued him for two years until it turned to pneumonia and he died in an Oakland, California hospital on November 26, 1921, at the age of 34.[1]
