Tod Sloan, a renowned American thoroughbred horse racing jockey, gained fame for transforming riding methods in the sport. He introduced the “monkey crouch” stance, where he leaned forward and crouched low while racing. This innovative technique enhanced speed and performance, resulting in numerous triumphs for Sloan on the racetrack. His dominance in horse racing during the early 20th century was evident through his victories in prestigious races and championships. In acknowledgment of his exceptional career and impact on the sport, Sloan was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1955.
