Father and Son Jockeys In Same Race
May 16th, 08
A racing rarity will occur in this Sunday's 11th race at Arlington Park when father-and-son jockeys square off.
Veteran reinsman Randall Meier, 53, will be in the same race as his son, 19-year-old apprentice rider Brandon Meier, who has been riding professionally for less than a week.
The elder Meier will be aboard Quebella for trainer Monique Cameron while the younger Meier has the call aboard the Chris Ryan-trained Beautifulblueyes.
Randall Meier earned his 4,000th career victory last September at Arlington Park while Brandon Meier began his career with a victory in his first mount here on Sunday, May 11. Arlington Park Communications Department
