Robert Dick was brilliantly conspicuous in the saddle during the 1933 season.

At the Ascot meeting he won three big races on consecutive days for Lord Astor – the St. James’s Palace Stakes, Coronation Stakes, and the Waterford Stakes, worth, in all, £10,030.

He also won on The Divot and dead-heated on Mannamead at the same meeting. In the same month he won the Newbury Summer Cup on Crême Brulée.

Born in Cowdenbeath, Scotland, in 1908, Dick, after completing a successful apprenticeship in Stanley Wootton’s Epsom Stable, rode for W. Nightingall’s establishment.

Later he was given a retainer by Lord Astor, for whom he has ridden many important winners.
