If he wins - will they put him in the Hall of Fame?

I actually think the highest honor a jockey can have is winning an eclipse for years outstanding jockey.

Put it this way - Gary Stevens won 3 Kentucky Derby's - he won 10 Santa Anita Derby's - but only one time (1998) did he manage to win an eclipse.

Both Calvin Borel and Alex Solis never once were even nominated for this award. Meaning - neither one ever finished in the top 3 in the voting points.

The Kentucky Derby is by far the biggest event - and the toughest race for a rider - but it's still just one race.
