Job Marson (1817-1857) was a British classic winning jockey, whose most famous partnership came with Voltigeur, winner of the 1850 Derby and St. Leger. ==Career== Marson was born to trainer "Old" Job Marson in Malton, North Yorkshire in 1817. His first win came at Beverley in 1831, on a horse called Cinderella, and in his early years, he was much championed by fellow jockey Sim Templeman, getting many rides on his recommendation. His first big win came much later, in the 1841 Goodwood Cup, riding Charles XII, but then followed a period of extended success at the top level. Within another two years he had won his first classic - the 1843 St. Leger on Nutwith. In 1847, he rode Van Tromp for Lord Eglinton in the Derby, coming third. Later that year, he went on to take the St. Leger on the horse. Rather than securing his position in Eglinton's favour, it had the opposite effect. Now suspecting that Marson had pulled Van Tromp in the Derby, Eglinton sacked him. Even Charles Marlow, Marson's successor as Eglinton's stable jockey, believed Marson to be innocent. The setback did not mar Marson's career too much. Lord Zetland took him on, and it was for Zetland that Marson would ride one of the supreme champion horses of the 19th century, Voltigeur, who won both Derby and St. Leger in 1850. For Sir Joseph Hawley, Marson won the 1851 1,000 Guineas on Aphrodite and the Derby on Teddington, receiving £2,000 in reward. His last major win again came for Zetland in the 1856 Doncaster Cup on Fandango. 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「Job Marson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
