Career
In 1963, Lambert was the leading jockey at Ak-Sar-Ben Racetrack meet in Omaha, Nebraska, as well as at Turf Paradise Race Course meet that same year. In the June 3, 1972 Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park Racetrack, Jerry Lambert rode Convenience to a half-length victory over the heavily favored Typecast who had easily beaten Convenience by six lengths in the May 18 Milady Handicap on the same track. In a quirk of racing fate, just one week later Lambert rode Typecast to a victory over Shoemaker and Cougar in the Hollywood Invitational Turf Handicap.
In 1971, Jerry Lambert was voted the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award, given to the thoroughbred jockey in North America who demonstrates high standards of personal and professional conduct, on and off the racetrack.
Retired, in later years Lambert helps break horses for Rich and Gaby Sulpizio"s Magali Farms in Santa Ynez, California. On October 2, 2009, the HRTV show "Inside Information" profiled and interviewed Jerry Lambert at Magali Farms.
He died 2-23-2015, aged 74.
