Willie Carson was a whirling dervish, Pat Eddery was bump-bump-thwack. Each was highly effective in their own way, with their records speaking for themselves. Yet arguably the two most stylish riders in a post-war golden era of jockeyship were Lester Piggott and Steve Cauthen. Piggott bestrode British racing like a colossus for over four decades, particularly in the sixties, seventies and early eighties.

Cauthen had his first ride in May at the age of 16 and by the end of the following year, when Piggott had won the eighth of his nine Derby. Riding at Aqueduct racetrack in New York in early , he booted home winners with such alarming regularity that by the end of the year, he took home a slew of sporting awards, including the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year, the only jockey to have held such an honour.

His star continued to rise in when he partnered Affirmed, who swept the American Triple Crown.
