He set records for the number of Champion Jockey titles (13), number of wins in a season (246) and number of race wins (2748) which remained unthreatened until the arrival of Steve Donoghue and Sir Gordon Richards well into the 20th Century. Delirious from wasting and the loss of his wife during childbirth, he shockingly took his own life at the age of 29.
