Former Racer
Published on 9/16/2020
Episode 107 of the Runnin' with the Racers Podcast features former Murray State football student-athlete, Jack Wolf, who in current times has been one of the movers and shapers of the horse racing industry. A 1973 graduate and recipient of the 2014 Murray State Distinguished Alumnus Award, Wolf was part of the ownership group that won the 146th Kentucky Derby with "Authentic" in 2020. It was Wolf's second association with a Kentucky Derby winner after "Justify" won the Triple Crown in 2018. Wolf was a tight end for Coach Bob Fergerson and the MSU football team from 1967-71. The lessons Jack learned playing football at MSU have stayed with him in his professional career including the last 20 years at the top level of horse racing.

In Murray State Football lore, one of the biggest plays in the 100-year plus history of the program icame from kicker by Shane Andrus. In 2002, the Racers hosted the No. 2 Eastern Illinois Panthers, led by quarterback Tony Romo at Roy Stewart Stadium, and by the end of the day, Andrus had his moment. He booted a 52-yard field goal on the final play to give the Racers a share of the Ohio Valley Conference title. Among those who remember that day are the Voice of the Racers Neal Bradley and EIU's Mike Bradd, MSU Head Coach Joe Pannunzio and Andrus.
