Description:

Whitehead & Hoag Co. Samuel Jesse Doggett (November 29, 1871 - October 4, 1935) was one of the leading American Thoroughbred horse racing jockeys of the 1890s and a founding director of the Horsemen's Protective Association who went on to train and own racehorses. Samuel Doggett began his career in horse racing as an exercise boy and began riding competitively as a fifteen-year-old in 1887 in County Fair races. By the early 1890s his success at the big racetracks led to his hiring by major stable trainers including Matthew Allen, John Hyland, John Rogers and Walter Rollins. Samuel Doggett rode Dr. Rice in the June 10, 1893 Belmont Stakes, marking the first of three appearances in races that would become part of the U.S. Triple Crown series. In a field of five runners, he was aboard the favorite Dr. Rice, who had won the Withers Stakes, but it would be African-American jockey Willie Simms aboard Comanche who won by a head. On June 2, 1896, Samuel Doggett rode Del Paso II in the 1896 Belmont Stakes for the Marcus Daly stable, finishing fourth and last to August Belmont Jr.'s colt, Hastings. In a year when the Preakness Stakes was run four days after the Belmont Stakes, on June 6, 1896, Doggett rode Hamilton II to a second second-place finish in the 1896 Preakness Stakes behind winner Margrave. Still active as an owner, he hired top trainer A. J. Goldsborough and with Canadian jockey Guy Burns aboard Doggett's filly Angerona they won the 1909 Fashion Stakes at Belmont Park.
