In his early teens, Vincent Powers went to Canada where he worked at the Fort Erie Race Track as an exercise rider. That job led to his career as a jockey, the training for which came when he was managed by future Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame trainer . In 1908 and 1909, Vincent Powers earned national riding championships when he won more races than any other jockey in United States flat racing. In 1917 he became the first jockey in American racing to win a National Championship in both steeplechase and flat racing. (en)
