	Sir Gordon Richards (1904–86)
		Gordon Richards was the leading British flat racing jockey in the second quarter of the twentieth century.
		He was to be the champion jockey in 25 further seasons and in 1933 his 259 wins passed Fred Archer’s record of 246 wins in one season.
		Like the cricketer Jack Hobbs and the footballer Stanley Matthews he personified qualities such as modesty, integrity, loyalty and a sense of fair play, which were often regarded as the characteristics which the British expected their heroes to display in the first half of the twentieth century.

	GN Online: Ballydoyle grab Derby awards
		Ballydoyle's Adian O'Brien and Michael Kinane swept the top Flat trainer and jockey awards while Sue Magnier and Michael Tabor claimed the owners' prize in the competition where winners are voted in members of the British media.
		The year-round achievements of the Godolphin racing stable were strangely overlooked by the the Horserace Writers And Photographers Association who showered most of the honour on the rival Ballydoyle operation at Monday's 35th annual Derby Awards.
		Journalist Graham Rock, founding editor of the Racing Post and BBC broadcaster, was awarded the George Ennor Trophy for a lifetime's achievement posthumously.
