Henry Moreno

Henry Moreno (circa 1930 - 2007-02-01) was a Thoroughbred horse racing jockey.

Moreno's most important win for Harry F. Guggenheim's stable came in the 1953 Kentucky Derby when he rode Dark Star to victory over future the Hall of Fame colt, Native Dancer.

In his later years he battled pancreatic cancer and in 2007 died at age 77 at Florence, Oregon.

Famous quotes containing the word henry:

    “The higher the state of civilization, the more completely do the actions of one member of the social body influence all the rest, and the less possible is it for any one man to do a wrong thing without interfering, more or less, with the freedom of all his fellow-citizens.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
