In the 1880s and 1890s, at the peak of their success, black jockeys were caricatured as coons in the popular press. Images such as this one humiliated these men and erased any sense of achievement and manhood. (Courtesy of the author)

This lithograph of Henry Stull's painting of the match between Salvator and Tenny was a popular depiction of the dramatic race. Note Murphy's posture in the saddle. Stull was probably not at the race but based his painting on the widely circulated accounts of it. (Courtesy of the author)
