  • Willie Carson
    SPORTING LEGENDS: WILLIE CARSON SPORT: HORSE RACING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1970 - 1988 The son of a warehouseman and a waitress, Willie Carson hardly seemed destined for fame and wealth. He was a small lad and got so fed up with hearing, “Aren’t you wee, you ought to be a jockey” that he bought an old chestnut mare from a gipsy troupe for £4. “He often used to fall off but he never cried”, recalls Thea McFarlane, who coached him. “I thought he was too small and frail to be a jockey”. Unlike his great rival, Lester Piggott, Carson was not a natural horseman. “Often I thought of giving up”, he says. “If someone had come up with a good idea for me, I would have jumped at it. Luckily, they didn’t”. At 17, Carson started a gruelling apprenticeship with trainer Gerald Armstrong but didn’t ride his first winner home until he was nearly 20. In 1968, Lord Derby, one of the great names in English racing, asked Willie up to become his First Jockey. “I told him to think it over”, Lord Derby said. “Willie jokes it took just two seconds”. In 1971, Carson joined the van Cutsem stable, his dream being to win one of the English classics, the Derby, 1000 Guineas, 2000 Guineas, Oaks and St Leger. Next year he did, loping home on High Top in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. By the end of the season, Carson had notched up 132 Winners to clinch the Jockey Championship. He won it again in 1973. SPORTING LEGENDS: WILLIE CARSON Willie Carson in full flow! Four years later, Carson joined Major Dick Hern, who trained horses for the Queen.

Britain's premier all-aged 12-furlong contest, worth a boosted £1.215 million this year, takes place at 3.50pm on Saturday, July 25. Golden Horn extended his perfect record to five races on July 4 in the 10-furlong Group One Coral- Eclipse at Sandown Park, beating older opponents for the first time in great style.
