EDDIE DONNALLY AND HIS WIFE SANDI STEELE
EDDIE DONNALLY HAS LIVED A MOST UNUSUAL LIFE
He is the only professional horse jockey to have won an Eclipse Award for Newspaper Writing and one who has been a television show producer, racing show host, certified fundraiser, ordained minister and hospital and hospice chaplain.
A jockey for 19 years, he rode in over 10,000 races at 54 tracks, winning an estimated 1,200. He was once indicted for sports bribery after a botched race fixed by Boston’s infamous Winter Hill Gang, whose leader Whitey Bulger was convicted of killing 11 persons. He lived for a time between the FBI who wanted him to enter the witness protection program and testify against gang members who threatened to kill him. Only a miracle saved him and that miracle is recorded in his bio "Ride the White Horse: A Checkered Jockeys' Story of Racing, Rage and Redemption."
A former syndicated journalist for the Dallas Morning News, he published articles in several score newspapers and magazines and separately in the "Washington Post,” “The New York Times " and the "New York Times Sunday Magazine," “Chicken Soup for the Soul” and Charisma Magazine. After coming to Christ in a California jail cell in 1996 he moved to the Los Angeles Dream Center where he met and married Sandi Steele and in less than five years, was licensed as a Foursquare Gospel minister. He now holds a Doctor of Ministry and is a professional hospital and hospice chaplain.
He has shared his testimony of God healing him from sexual abuse as a youth, confined in two psych wards and attempting suicide before being set free from illicit sex, an addiction to crack cocaine in 53 prisons and at least that many churches, homeless shelters and rehab programs. He is a frequent speaker in churches, recovery conferences, rehab centers, and prisons. To book a visit email him at eddonnally@gmail.com
His biography has sold over 12,000 copies and has 83 reviews on Amazon with 78 four or five stars. It is ranked in the top 25% among 70,000 Christian Biographies. Nearly 12,000 have watched his testimony on his YouTube Channel and he hosts a nationally televised TV show.
His first novel, "Doctrines of Demons: The New Age Dawns" has sold well, and he has shared his end time prophecy on a dozen media outlets. His jockey book "The Golden Altar: Selling Souls for a Horse with no Name" has sold thousands. It has been reedited, reformatted, and has a new cover and price.

The Golden Altar: Selling Souls For A Horse With No Name
A formerly barred jockey battling addiction, the fledgling female trainer he loves, and her criminal father race a mysterious, super-talented horse with no legal papers all the way to the Kentucky Derby while a crusading track detective is fixated on foiling their ringer scheme and putting them in jail.
BELOW IS A LIST OF HIS VIDEOS AND DESCRIPTIONS
HEALING FROM SEXUAL ABUSE
This is a subject he knows experientially, physiologically and spiritually. As an adolescent he was molested by a stepbrother and in his 60s returned to college to obtain a Doctor of Ministry degree, chiefly to learn why he became so despondent he tried to commit suicide, was in two psych wards, became addicted to illicit sexual encounters and crack cocaine. When he saw God’s Shekinah Glory in a San Pedro CA holding cell on Dec. 16, 1996, he found forgiveness for his abuser and has been in full time Christian Ministry since. He has shared his training in churches, rehab centers, prisons, and on his YouTube Channel.
Statistics show that up to 50% of the homeless, and incarcerated males were sexually abused. With women; 70% of those in prisons have suffered sexual abuse. There is no greater physiological indicator of homelessness and incarceration. He considers it his ministerial duty to help others heal as God healed him. His Video on healing from sexual abuse is below, and if you email him, he will send a copy of his training and personally work with you to institute it.
Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; and to declare the acceptable year of the Lord.”
PRISON MINISTRY
In 2019 Eddie and wife Sandi purchased a motorhome in Florida and set out for Texas. He left positions as a PRN chaplain at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater FL and his working 20 weekend hours for Suncoast Hospice. He planned to speak in 20 prisons but was told by a Texas prison minister who knew the prison system there, it would never happen. He spoke in 30. And miraculously when they returned, both his positions were still intact.
He has also preached in prisons in Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana, bringing the total to at least 50. It’s fertile ground for salvation and at least 700 came to know the Lord as Savior. He is still active in the prison ministry, and said, “I will continue as long as I can walk and talk. I declare the following verse over myself every morning when I wake up.”
Isaiah 40:31.“But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
Psalm 103: 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Joel 2:25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten

WATCH HIS TESTIMONY HERE
Videos also include his street ministry, which while sometimes dangerous are important to him and his wife. They started ministering in the streets shortly after he left the jail cell and began living at the Los Angeles Dream Center where he met and married Sandi Steele. Twenty-seven years later, God called him back to preaching on the streets. Working under the New Covenant Fellowship Church in nearby Metairie, you can meet him and his evangelical crew preaching and ministering to the homeless in the famous New Orleans Jackson Square. They preach and pray among fortune tellers, tarot card readers and Voodoo Bone readers. They also feed, clothe and preach to the homeless and share the Gospel with the hundreds who flock to the nationally known landmark. They have led many to Christ and placed several in local Christian rehab facilities. Donnally said, “Though the Lord has always protected us, we have been confronted by satanists, cursed, often given the one finger salute, and I even had whiskey thrown into my eyes. But I know God is blessing our group because of the persecution.”
Matthew 5:10-12 “ Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Below, you can watch gang member Michael threaten his life and throw water at Sandi and him (at least they hope it was water). But after passing out clothing there, including some to Michael, he allowed Donnally to pray for him and became their unofficial protector.

JOCKEYS AND JEANS
To raise funds for his fellow jockeys who no longer ride racehorses but wheelchairs, Donnally and four other former jockeys formed the all-volunteer organization in late 2014. He served as President for a short time then nominated Barry Pearl, who was President until resigning in June 2023. Donnally. Vice President during those years, became Interim President when Pearl retired. Through an annual charity event and annual stallion season sale, the group raised $3.85 Million for Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. The charity pays a $1,500 stipend to 55 permanently disabled jockeys. From February of 2024 until February of 2025 Jockeys and Jeans raised a single year record of $458,000. Donnally resigned in March 2025 to commit more time to his evangelical ministry but became one of its Ambassadors who advocates for the cause to aid disabled jockeys
Acts 1: 8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Donnally is in the brown shirt, kneeling beside two former jockeys in wheelchairs and behind a depiction of a check to PDJF for $60,000. Surrounding him are eight other former jockeys in wheelchairs, 16 Hall of Fame Jockeys and Gulfstream Park Jockeys.
