Ed Bowen, President of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, writes: "Cot Campbell's Dogwood Stable has been a mainstay in the world of horse racing for many years.

Cot Campbell Inducted in South Carolina's Athletic Hall of Fame
Dogwood Stable's President Cot Campbell joined seven other individuals on May 21 when he was inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2007.
"I am thrilled to be inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame," said Campbell. "While it is completely undeserved, it is heady stuff to be in the same outfit as Max Hirsch, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Doc Blanchard, Walter Johnson, Althea Gibson, Cale Yarborough and other hot shots. In my case I owe it to some wonderful horses that have come along through the years and kept us in the forefront of a great sport. And I owe it to a wonderful staff."
Campbell is the fourth horseman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. The other three are Marion duPont Scott, Max Hirsch and Frank Whiteley Jr.
Bob Spear, a sports editor for The State newspaper in Columbia, South Carolina, did a fine job of covering the induction news - and for more on the Hall of Fame, click here. |
