SARATOGA SPRINGS There’s a Grade III race with a $150,000 purse in January at Gulfstream Park that carries the name of Fred W. Hooper.
His stamp on Thoroughbred racing endures much more deeply than that, though, despite the fact that he died over 20 years ago, at the age of 102.
If you root around in the respective pedigrees of the last two Triple Crown winners, American Pharoah (2015) and Justify (2018), you’ll find names like Olympia, Tri Jet, Zetta Jet, Crozier and Hoop Jr. These were all horses that Hooper campaigned as racehorses before sending them to the breeding shed.
