Earl Sande (born Nov. 13, 1898, Groton, S.D., U.S.—died Aug. 20, 1968, Jacksonville, Ore.) was a U.S. jockey who won the Kentucky Derby three times. One of his Derby-winning mounts, Gallant Fox in 1930, also won the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, thereby gaining the coveted U.S. Triple Crown. Besides Gallant Fox, Sande’s other Kentucky Derby winners were Zev in 1923 and Flying Ebony in 1925. He also won the Belmont Stakes four times: with Grey Lag, 1921; Zev, 1923; Mad Play, 1924; and Chance Shot, 1927. During 1921, 1923, and 1927, Sande led all U.S. jockeys in money earned. Sande got his nickname from a poem celebrating him by the sports columnist Damon Runyon.
