Prior to his brief major league career, McLaughlin played eight seasons with the Sacramento Senators of the Pacific Coast League from 1924 until 1931. He batted .296 with 28 home runs during that time. He did not play professionally after 1932.
Orphaned and homeless in his early teens, McLaughlin was taken in by horse trainerWilliam Daly who taught him how to ride. While individual statistics from all of McLaughlin's career races aren't documented, McLaughlin began his career riding in Tennessee in the late 1870s. Records show that he first competed in the Kentucky Derby in 1880 for the Dwyer Brothers Stable with trainer James G. Rowe, Sr.. The following year the team won the race on the future Hall of Fame horse, Hindoo. McLaughlin finished second in the 1882 Derby and fifth in 1884.
The horse he claimed was the best he'd ever ridden was Luke Blackburn. (Cited from the online Hall of Fame.)
Jim McLaughlin won the 1885 Preakness Stakes riding Tecumseh but finished third with the horse in the Belmont Stakes. He rode three consecutive Belmont Stakes winners on two separate occasions, claiming victory six out of seven years. He won the race in 1882, 1883, and 1884 then finished third in 1885 and won then next three in 1886, 1887, and 1888. The last five of his Belmont winners were all for the Dwyer Brothers. McLaughlin's six Belmont wins still stands as the most for any jockey and is shared with Eddie Arcaro who won his sixth in 1955.
"Since we got here, he's just been in awe. It's just so much bigger than he is."
"He kicks very well. If the opportunity comes up, I would not hesitate to have him kick from 40 yards."
"I have a fond place in my heart for Arcadia and always will. I am a small-town guy and I love Arcadia."
"She is truly great. She goes hard from start to finish and she always has control of her game. It is so much fun to coach her and watch her play."
"Arcadia has honest people. No one has a pretense. It does not matter who you are or what you do, everyone is treated the same. I like that."
"People were concerned that we hadn't been tested. We're tested every day in training. We train at a high level and all I want to see is the transfer of that training to game day. I don't think we get confidence from beating (No. 1) Nebraska. We get confidence in our gym."
"Hurricane Charley was the most memorable story I had to cover. It was an emotional attachment since it was literally happening in my backyard and very difficult for us to cover. No election, no accident, nothing can compare to that story and since then, every story has been flat."
"We played well start to finish. I thought our transition was very good. We are getting more swings on the ball instead of giving free balls. I like our distribution and how it is pretty even."
"We needed a stop but didn't get it. I had all my timeouts but we couldn't stop the ball."
"We got in the hole right from the get-go. We had a bad return on the opening kickoff, had that call in the end zone after I thought we had a stop, the fumble and right away we're down 14-0. We put the ball on the ground three times in the first half."

Rice Moore is just beginning to think his troubles are behind him. He’s found a job protecting a remote forest preserve in Virginian Appalachia where his main responsibilities include tracking wildlife and refurbishing cabins. It’s hard work, and totally solitary—perfect to hide away from the Mexican drug cartels he betrayed back in Arizona. But when Rice finds the carcass of a bear killed on the grounds, the quiet solitude he’s so desperately sought is suddenly at risk.
More bears are killed on the preserve and Rice’s obsession with catching the poachers escalates, leading to hostile altercations with the locals and attention from both the law and Rice’s employers. Partnering with his predecessor, a scientist who hopes to continue her research on the preserve, Rice puts into motion a plan that could expose the poachers but risks revealing his own whereabouts to the dangerous people he was running from in the first place.
James McLaughlin expertly brings the beauty and danger of Appalachia to life. The result is an elemental, slow burn of a novel—one that will haunt you long after you turn the final page.
