His Career and our Invitation to Woodbine

 Sandy Hawley, without a doubt, is one of the greatest race-riders ever produced in Canada. Hawley, a brilliant athlete and ambassador for the sport of Thoroughbred racing, has set new standards for jockeys. In the high stakes environment of racing, Hawley has distinguished himself with his clean living, fierce competitiveness and an uncanny way with horses. He currently ranks eighth among jockeys in career wins, and has been called the crown prince of the “Sport of Kings”.

Among the highlights of Sandy's career are 31,455 mounts, 6,449 wins, 4,825 seconds, 4,158 thirds, and $88,666,071 in purse earnings.

Sandy Hawley was inducted into the Canadian Racing Hall of Fame in 1986 , the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1992, and Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 1998. After his retirement from racing Hawley began a new career as a public relations ambassador for the Ontario Jockey Club. Hawley currently resides in Pickering, Ontario with his wife, Lisa, and sons, Bradley and Russell.

Jockey Sandy Hawley will talk about his world famous horse racing career and he will invite our Rotary club to once again , spend a Day At The Races at Woodbine.
