Tags: Jockey (Horse Racer).

Wendell W. Eads (June 10 1923 – June 5 1997) was an American Thoroughbred horse racing jockey. In the early 1940s he was a contract jockey with the prestigious Calumet Farm. Small even by jockey standards Eads weighed just 102 pounds and as a result could not control Calumet’s extremely high strung but talented colt Whirlaway.
