Aborigines & the Sport of Kings Author: John Maynard
ISBN: 9781922059543 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 128 Published: 1 November 2013 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 24.0 x 17.0 x 24.13 Description: Aboriginal jockeys have played a small but vital part in the Australian racing industry. As stockmen, their talent in the saddle and their intimate knowledge of their country, made them invaluable. Over time, some graduated from the stock route to the racecourse despite the quite rigid racial barriers in place. Maynard explores the history and evolution of Aboriginal involvement in racing. The Aboriginal jockeys highlighted in the book include Merv Maynard, Norm Rose, Frank Reys, Richard Lawrence 'Darby' McCarthy and Leigh-Anne Goodwin, Australia's first female Aboriginal jockey to ride a winner at a metropolitan track.
