Howard Douglas Grant (c. 1939 – August 1, 2018) was an American Thoroughbred horse racing jockey. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he began his jockey apprenticeship as a seventeen-year-old at Wheeling Downs, West Virginia and won his first race on October 9, 1956, at Cranwood Park Race CourseinCleveland, Ohio.[1] During his twenty-four-year career, he competed primarily at Middle Atlantic racetracks and in 1959 rode four winners on a single racecard at Bowie Race Track,[2] repeating that feat again in 1968 at the Atlantic City Race Course.[3] He died August 1, 2018, aged 79.[4]

Riding titles[edit]

Grant won the Gulfstream Park riding title in 1963.[5] In the early 1970s he began riding in California where he won an Oak Tree Racing Association and a Del Mar racetrack riding championship in 1971.[6]

Like many jockeys, Howard Grant battled weight gain from early in his career,[7] and by the middle part of the 1970s the problem frequently limited his number of mounts.
