Bobbie Lewis Career: 1892–1938
When he won the 2000 Melbourne Cup aboard Brew at age 20, still an apprentice, it was his first Group 1 win. Went on to win three Melbourne Cups across three different horses for three different trainers, and rode 323 winners across five seasons in the UK and Europe.
Rode Black Caviar to 22 of her 25 consecutive wins, including the legendary Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2012 — the race that introduced the unbeaten champion to the world. Won the Melbourne Jockeys’ Premiership in three consecutive seasons from 2009/10 to 2011/12.
Won the Melbourne Cup four times in 1902, 1915, 1919 and 1927, a record equalled only once in 165 years of the race and never bettered. Competed across a remarkable 46-year career, riding his final race at the age of 60. Also won eight Victoria Derbies, four Australian Derbies and seven Oaks.
Harry White Career: 1959–1995
George Moore Career: 1938–1971
Jim Pike Career: 1907–1936
The only other jockey to win four Melbourne Cups, aboard Think Big in 1974 and 1975, Arwon in 1978 and Hyperno in 1979. Won the Melbourne Jockeys’ Premiership four times and accumulated 60 Group 1 wins across a 35-year career.
Retired with 119 Group 1 victories in Australia; a national record that stood for decades. Won the 1967 Epsom Derby, the 1959 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the French Derby, the English 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas and the Ascot Gold Cup. Named the BBC’s Overseas Sports Personality of the Year in 1967.
Rode Phar Lap to 27 wins from 30 races, including the 1930 Melbourne Cup, and won six Victoria Derbies – four consecutively from 1928 to 1931. Nicknamed The Master, his name became the sport’s highest compliment: to this day, a perfectly executed ride is still described as ‘riding it like J. Pike.’
