"Murphy was the first millionaire black athlete," Drape told CNN. "He even had a white valet."

Good article Lester – thanks for sharing.

Dam, I better check those papers I received a few years ago - I may be the prime beneficiary of Isaac's will, provided there's some left.

Aren't there two other Husbands riding up there now?

This jockey had to be the first Black American Millionaire, can anyone name an other Black American that made it to the big time. His life story must be a in-creditable.
