Appreciation of Woottons by a Modern Jockey
A fragmented late nineteenth century column lauds Frank Wootton, the Sydney jockey for Lord Derby, praising his crouch riding and endurance on Tagalio in the Derby era. It notes Ted Sloan’s critique of English jockeys and highlights Wootton’s skill, weight balance, rein control, and race instincts with comparisons to horse and rider harmony.
