Promised Land was sired by Palestinian and born in 1954.

As both a successful trainer and owner, Hirsch Jacobs (1904-1970) and his wife Ethel occupy a significant place in the history of American thoroughbred racing. Inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1958, Jacobs saddled 3596 winners during his long career, more than anyone in the history of the sport.
