Background [ edit ]
Cauthen, the son of a trainer and a farrier , grew up in Walton, Kentucky , around horses, which (along with his small size) made race-riding a logical career choice.

He was the nation's leader in race wins in 1977 with 487. In only his second year of riding, he became the first jockey to win $6 million in a single season, passing that mark in December 1977.[5]
In 1978 he became the youngest jockey to ever win the U. S. Triple Crown , riding Affirmed , and he was named Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year .[6]
He had increasing problems making weight and moved to the UK, where jockey weights were higher.[7]
A June 16, 1985, feature story in the New York Times Robert Sangster ." Quoting The Guardian Times story also reported that "Henry Cecil signed Cauthen to replace Piggott as the main jockey for his powerful stable."[8]
In his first race in the UK in April 1979 Cauthen rode Marquee Universal to victory at Salisbury .[9]
Steve Cauthen was British Champion Jockey three times, and won English classic races ten times, including the 2,000 Guineas , the Derby twice, and the St Leger three times. In 1985 he won three Classics riding Oh So Sharp . In 1989 he rode European Horse of the Year Old Vic to victory in the French Derby and the Irish Derby . In 1991 he won the Italian Derby on Hailsham.[7]
Retirement [ edit ]
After he finished his riding career, Cauthen returned to Kentucky and bought a stud farm.[7] Prince Edward of the United Kingdom 's 1987 charity television special The Grand Knockout Tournament
In 1999, the Racing Post ranked Cauthen as eighth in their list of the Top 50 jockeys of the 20th century.[10]
