Edward Hide was a multiple classic winning British jockey. He was, for a time at his peak, the sixth most successful jockey in British racing history.〔 During his career he was mainly seen on the northern and Scottish racing circuit. He was, however, also successful on big race days in the south, his classic race victories being the 1973 Derby on Morston, two 1,000 Guineas - Waterloo (1972) and Mrs McArdy (1977) - and two St. Legers on Cantelo (1959) and Julio Mariner (1978). Other big race victories included the Lincoln (three times), Northumberland Plate, Magnet Cup, November Handicap, Nunthorpe Stakes, July Cup, King's Stand Stakes and the 1967 Ayr Gold Cup on Farm Walk.〔 He was identifiable to racing fans by a toothy grin.〔 He retired in 1986. At first, he planned to be a Jockey Club stewards' secretary, but was turned down for the role. Instead, he ended up as agent to Walter Swinburn, followed by a spell as assistant trainer to John Gosden and as a racing manager. He also bred horses, including the winners of around 80 races from a farm near Malton, North Yorkshire.〔 More recently, he was in the news when it was revealed a lifetime racecourse entry badge he had been given after his retirement was surprisingly retracted. His case was taken up by the Professional Jockeys' Association.〔 His nephew, Philip Hide, was a National Hunt jockey on the southern circuit〔 and became a racehorse trainer after his retirement. ==Classic race victories== Great Britain * 1,000 Guineas - ''Waterloo'' (1972), ''Mrs McArdy'' (1977) * Epsom Oaks - ''Pia'' (1967) * Epsom Derby - ''Morston'' (1973) * St. Leger - ''Cantelo'' (1959), ''Julio Mariner'' (1978) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Hide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
