George Martin Odom ( July 8 , 1882 - July 29 , 1964 ) was an American National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame jockey and trainer in Thoroughbred horse racing . He is only one of two people to ever have won the Belmont Stakes as both a jockey and a trainer . A native of Columbus , Georgia , at age fourteen George Odom galloped horses for future Hall of Fame trainer , William P. Burch . He began riding professionally at age fifteen and in 1899 at age sixteen , won his first race . He quickly made such an impression that an April 10 , 1899 article in the Chicago Daily Tribune referred to him as another Tod Sloan . In June 1899 , the eighty-seven-pound Odom , who was an early advocate of the short-stirrup riding manner used today , signed a contract to ride for W. C. Whitney for a salary of $ 10,000 a year with additional compensation on a sliding scale for winning and finishing in the money . He rode at tracks in New York , New Orleans and the Benning Race Track in Washington , D.C . Among his major wins as a jockey , Odom rode Banastar to victory in the 1901 Metropolitan Handicap and won the Woodlawn Vase trophy on three occasions . The best known of his mounts was future Hall of Fame inductee , Broomstick . After just eight years as a jockey , George Odom retired from riding in 1905 with a 17.2 winning percentage . Widely respected , he had earned a reputation as an honest jockey in an era when race fixing was not uncommon . Odom then made his home in Atlanta , Georgia and immediately turned to training horses .
