Boy Jockey with a Future: Young apprentice rider Denis Dillon, who finished second at Ascot in both the Cambridgeshire and the Cesarewitch is only 15 years old. He has been tipped as a future Gordon Richards. Denis Dillon exercising a yearling at Victor Smyths racing establishment at Epsom. October 1944. In this photograph from the 1940s, we witness young Denis Dillon, an aspiring jockey with immense potential, showcasing his remarkable skills on horseback.
