Lester Reiff
Lester Berchart Reiff (1877–1948) was an American jockey who achieved racing acclaim in the United Kingdom in the first decade of the twentieth century. In 1900, he was the number one jockey racing in Britain based on earnings, beating other prominent American jockeys such as Tod Sloan, Danny Maher, Skeets Martin and his younger brother, John Reiff, that were also racing in Britain at the time.〔''New York Times.'' ( "Lester Reiff's Record." ) November 25, 1900.〕 The Reiff brothers were implicated in a horse doping scandal in late 1901, which led to the revocation of Lester Reiff's license and the end of his racing career.〔''New York Times.'' ( "Reiff's license revoked." ) October 2, 1901.〕〔''New York Times.'' ( "Turfmen still agitated." ) October 29, 1900.〕
==Early life and U.S. racing career==
Lester B. Reiff was born on April 26, 1877,〔Ancestry Library. WWI draft registration and 1920 US Census listing him living with his in-laws, the Rowells.〕 in Americus, Missouri, to John Wesley Reiff and Elizabeth Jane (''neé'' Wandel) Reiff.〔Ancestry Library. U.S. Passport application for his brother Delbert Reiff with signed affidavit from his mother, also signed by Lester Reiff's father-in-law Harry Rowell, 1916.〕 His brothers, John (1885–1974) and Delbert (1879–1976), were also employed in the Thoroughbred racing industry. John Reiff is a US Racing Hall of Fame inductee and Delbert Reiff was a horse trainer that ran a horse importing business from Maisons-Laffitte, France.〔〔''Thoroughbred Times.'' ( "Foundation mares: Ampola." ) April 22, 2000.〕 The Reiff family moved to Findlay, Ohio, in the 1880s, and Lester became a jockey apprentice as a teenager. He raced for horse trainer Enoch Wishard in 1894 but was suspended numerous times for throwing races and was barred from horse racing in late 1894 and the early months of 1895.〔''New York Times.''

Owners and Trainers of the Horse, However, Have Not Yet Been Dealt With -- Don Alonzo Won the Brookdale Handicap After Ed Kearney Bolted and Broke His Bridle Rein -- Some of the Gossip of the Betting Ring and the Paddock."
