John W. Galbreath, University Lodge 631 of Columbus, Ohio, made a fortune in commercial property development. His business successes, however, were only a means that allowed him to pursue his real passion: sports. He owned both the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team and Darby Dan racing stables. As an owner he won three World Series (1960, 1971, 1979) and two Kentucky Derbys (1963, 1967). Named Outstanding Breeder in 1974, He is one of only four owners to win both the Kentucky Derby and Epson Derby. Oddly, or perhaps as a premonition, this world-class derby winner was born in Derby, Ohio.
