Russell (born December 3, 1980 in Cheverly, Maryland) is an American Thoroughbred horse racing jockey. He grew up with no horse racing background. He did not get on a horse till the age of 18. He learned to ride in South Carolina breaking babies for Frank "Gorrie" Smith. After spending two years there he returned to California. Chris Russell obtained his jockey's license in December 2003 and began riding in California (where he won his first race at Santa Anita on February 23, 2005[1]) before heading to the East Coast of the United States where he rode at Monmouth Park Racetrack in New Jersey for a short time before ending up at Laurel Park Racecourse (where he was involved in a November 2005 collision that sent both him and Rosie Napravnik to the hospital[2]). In 2007, he returned to a base in Southern California and the following year began riding at Los Alamitos Race Course. In June 2009 he left to ride the Northern California Fairs. After the 2010 racing fairs ended in October Chris returned to Los Alamitos Race Course and has done well. Russell won the top jockey award at the 2011 Humboldt County Fair meet in Ferndale, California[3] after having taken second place at the previous year's meet.[4] References1. ^"Jockey Russell, Trainer Pender Get First Win", Bloodhorse.com, February 24, 2005 {{DEFAULTSORT:Russell, Chris}}2. ^Sandra McKee, "Laurel's top jockey injured in spill", Baltimore Sun, November 13, 2005 3. ^"Ferndale horse racing finishes with flair; Steel Blue wins the marathon", Humboldt Beacon, August 25, 2011 4. ^"Athlete of the Week: Chris Russell", KIEM-TV, August 17, 2011. 4 : 1980 births|Living people|People from Cheverly, Maryland|American jockeys |
