1. Title: "A Century of Champions: Gordon Richards in the Colours of Mr J A Dewar". This striking photograph captures the legendary jockey, Gordon Richards, in the prime of his career, donning the distinctive tartan colours of his prominent owner, Mr J A Dewar. The image, taken in the early 20th century, showcases Richards' unwavering focus and determination as he sits atop his horse, poised for the race. Richards, born in 1901, is widely regarded as one of the greatest jockeys in the history of horse racing. With a career spanning over four decades, he amassed an impressive total of 4,895 wins, a record that stood for over 50 years. His remarkable achievements earned him the nickname "Mr Conditions," as he was known for his ability to excel in various racing conditions. Mr J A Dewar, a successful Scottish businessman, was a significant figure in the world of horse racing. His racing colours, featuring a bold red cross on a white background with a red and black checked pattern, were synonymous with excellence and success. Richards' association with Dewar began in the late 1920s and continued until the early 1950s, resulting in numerous victories for both parties. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of horse racing and the enduring bond between jockeys and their owners. The tartan colours of Mr J A Dewar serve as a reminder of the Scottish roots of the sport, while the image of Gordon Richards in the saddle encapsulates the skill, dedication, and passion that have defined horse racing for generations. As we celebrate the centenary of Richards' birth, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless allure and excitement of a bygone era in the world of horse racing.
