		Gordon Richards was the leading British flat racing jockey in the second quarter of the twentieth century.
		Richards won 14 classic races, but victory in the Derby eluded him until 1953, in what was recognised as certain to be near the end of his career.
		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.

		I only pray that Richards will be able to restrain herself and keep her hands off of Gordon for a spl it second.
		And I think Gordon agrees, unless he is lying to me as much as he is lying to Richards.
		Not for reasons of jealousy (though Richards is more clingy around him just to spite Amber and myself- though we could care less-), but because Gordon is unhappy in the relationship, and Richards really only wants one thing.

		But it is mostly the fact of Richards being so influencial- the last thing Gordon needs right now is the thing that Richards wants, but he too may be easily inlfluenced.
