EDITORS COMMENTS
Bookseller, Jockey: G. Richards, 1939 - A Portrait of Greatness". This photograph captures the essence of a true legend in the world of horse racing. Meet Sir Gordon Richards, the British flat racing Champion Jockey who dominated the sport like no other. In this image from 1939, we see him in his element, astride a magnificent chestnut brown mare on a lush green racetrack. Sir Gordon Richards was not just any jockey; he was an icon whose name became synonymous with victory. With an incredible record of winning the Great Yorkshire Handicap at Doncaster in 1938 and being crowned Champion Jockey an astonishing 26 times throughout his career, he earned his place as one of history's greatest sportsmen. Dressed impeccably in his jockey silks and donning a stylish cap, Sir Gordon exudes confidence and determination as he gazes into the distance. The number three emblazoned on his attire signifies yet another triumph for this remarkable athlete. Beyond his unparalleled success on the racecourse, Sir Gordon achieved something truly extraordinary – knighthood. He remains to this day the only flat jockey to have received such an honor. This vintage print is not just a testament to Sir Gordon's greatness but also serves as a reminder of an era when horse racing reigned supreme as one of society's most cherished pastimes. It stands as a tribute to both man and beast – two beings united by their unwavering spirit and shared love for speed. As we admire this timeless image captured by W. D & H. O Wills in Bristol back in 1939, let us celebrate Sir Gordon Richards' indomitable legacy that continues to inspire generations within and beyond the realm of horse racing.
