About this chart
Eddie Arcaro and Bill Hartack share the jockey record of 5 Kentucky Derby wins. Arcaro won in 1938, 1941, 1945, 1948 and 1952, while Hartack's came between 1957 and 1969. Bill Shoemaker is third with 4, the last in 1986 aboard Ferdinand. Eight more riders have 3, including Isaac Murphy, who won in 1884, 1890 and 1891.
The three-time winners of recent decades are Calvin Borel (2007, 2009, 2010), Victor Espinoza (2002, 2014, 2015) and John Velazquez (2011, 2017, 2020). Wins here follow the official result: Medina Spirit was disqualified from the 2021 Derby after a positive drug test, so that race counts for Mandaloun and Florent Geroux, not Velazquez. The 2026 Derby went to Golden Tempo and Jose Ortiz and changes no charted total.

The 2026 Derby (Golden Tempo, ridden by Jose Ortiz) does not change any charted total.

Frequently asked questions
Which jockey has won the most Kentucky Derbies?
Eddie Arcaro and Bill Hartack share the record with 5 Kentucky Derby wins each. Arcaro won from 1938 to 1952, and Hartack won between 1957 and 1969. Bill Shoemaker is next with 4.
Who won the 2026 Kentucky Derby?
Golden Tempo won the 152nd Kentucky Derby on May 2, 2026, ridden by Jose Ortiz and trained by Cherie DeVaux. Ortiz is not among the jockeys with 3 or more wins charted here.
How many jockeys have won the Kentucky Derby three or more times?
Eleven jockeys have won at least 3 Kentucky Derbies, and 27 have won at least twice. This count uses official results, so the disqualified 2021 win by Medina Spirit is not credited to John Velazquez.
Where does this data come from?
Wikipedia, Kentucky Derby (multi-time winning jockeys table, cross-checked against the annual winners table); cumulative wins at each year-end. Retrieved November 4, 2026. Jockeys with 3 or more Derby wins (11 riders); 27 jockeys have won at least twice. Wins are by official result: Medina Spirit was disqualified from the 2021 Derby (positive drug test), so that race is credited to Mandaloun and jockey Florent Geroux, not to John Velazquez. The 2026 Derby (Golden Tempo, ridden by Jose Ortiz) does not change any charted total. You can download the full table as a CSV from this page.
