In 1939, Arthur Tucker, a French-trained jockey, made his mark on English soil by winning the prestigious Cesarewitch aboard Contrevent. This triumph marked Tucker's first ride in England and established him as a force to be reckoned with. The image showcases Tucker atop his trusted steed, Contrevent, exuding confidence and skill. Dressed in a dapper suit and sporting a cap, he epitomizes the elegance and grace of equestrian sportsmanship. The bay-colored horse stands tall against the lush green backdrop of the countryside racetrack. Tucker's success did not end there; the following year saw him clinch further victories at Great Jubilee riding Antonym and Ormonde Stakes on Tricameron.
