1904

Hirsch Jacobs (April 8, 1904 – February 13, 1970) was an American thoroughbred horse trainer and owner.

Jacobs grew up in East New York, Brooklyn in New York City.

As a child he raised pigeons on the roof of his tenement building where he lived and raced them.

He completed his formal schooling in elementary school at the age of 13; everything he knew about animal behavior and veterinary medicine was self-taught.

An older friend, Charlie Ferraro, the brother of his boss, introduced Jacobs to horse racing when he took him to Jamaica Racetrack in Queens.

Ferraro bought a horse for $1500 and asked Jacobs to train it.

As a youth Jacobs worked as a steamfitter's assistant, but he quit to become a "jack-of-all-trades" at the race track.

Those earnings helped Jacobs and Bieber establish a breeding farm in Maryland, Stymie Manor.

Hirsch Jacobs and his wife Ethel owned a number of horses which were raced under her name.

1958

In 1958, Hirsch Jacobs was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

1964

He was the leading money-winning breeder in the U.S. from 1964-67.

During his career, he saddled 3,569 winners, more than any other until the time of his death.

They won the Preakness with Personality, who earned American Horse of the Year honors, and the Belmont with High Echelon.

Both horses were owned by Ethel Jacobs and trained by their son, John.
