Lot 223. 1888 N162 Goodwin Champions Card of HoF Jockey Isaac Murphy SGC-Graded. SGC graded the card 30 Good 2.

In 1891, he became the first rider to win the Kentucky Derby three times. Since 1995, the National Turf Writers Association has presented the Isaac Murphy Award to the jockey with the highest winning percentage for the year in North America.
