- Gifford_A._Cochran abstract "Gifford A. Cochran was an American entrepreneur and sportsman from New York City. During the latter part of the 19th Century and the first decades of the 20th Century, he made a fortune in the carpet making industry. His wealth afforded him the opportunity to become a major owner of Thoroughbred racehorses and in 1925, with two different horses, he won two of the most prestigious races in the United States, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes.Cochran maintained a stable at Long Island's Belmont Park and in 1915 set up a stable in New Orleans for winter racing. In the mid 1910s, William Midgley trained for Cochran then in the early 1920s Edward Evans and later former star jockey Frank Keogh.In August 1922, Gifford Cochran purchased Goshawk from Harry Payne Whitney for $50,000. At the time, the son of the U.S. Hall of Fame horse Whisk Broom was considered one of the best two-year-olds in the United States but he failed to perform beyond that age level. Nevertheless, Cochran owned horses that won a number of important New York races:Astoria Stakes - Pleione (1915)Gazelle Handicap - Fairy Wand (1918), Banksia (1921)Travers Stakes - Sun Flag (1924), Dangerous (1925)Tremont Stakes - Draconis (1926)Champagne Stakes - Healy (1928)Dwyer Stakes - Genie (1928)Westchester Handicap - Genie (1929)Demoiselle Stakes - The Beasel (1929)Manhattan Handicap - Flying Heels (1930)Hopeful Stakes - Epithet (1930)Carter Handicap - Flying Heels (1930, 1931)However, Cochran's most remembered success came with two different horses in 1925 after Bill Duke returned to America as his trainer. Duke, a future U.S. Hall of Fame inductee had been a champion trainer in France where he had worked since 1888, notably for the Haras du Quesnay racing stable of American Willie K. Vanderbilt, a friend of Gifford Cochran. Under Dukes guidance, Gifford's colt Flying Ebony won the Kentucky Derby and another colt, Coventry, captured the Preakness Stakes. Unfortunately, Cochran's successful partnership with Bill Duke lasted only a short time as Duke died in January 1926 of pneumonia.".
