Mr W H P Jenkins, 1911. Portrait of British amateur jockey William Henry Philips Jenkins (1842-1916) who began steeplechase riding while studying at Merton College, Oxford. To keep the secret from his tutors, he adopted the pseudonym of Peter Merton, as participating in horse racing was frowned upon. He trained racehorses in later years.
