Eric Guerin owns 4 Triple Crown victories. He was the jockey on world famous Native Dancer. He rode on 22 races for Native Dancer and they won 21 times. The only time he came in 2nd was during the Kentucky Derby. Eric claimed that someone purposely bumped Native Dancer and that caused a scuffle and fistacuffs back in the barns.
Native Dancer gave him a Preakness and Belmont in 1953. He had already won the 1947 Derby on Jet Pilot and took another Belmont in 1954 on High Gun. In 1944 Guerin participated in a racing oddity. He was one of 3 winning jockeys in a triple dead heat during the Carter Handicap.
p.s. the scuffle and fistacuffs is an embellished to spice it up. haha.
