George Duffield is the senior rider in the weighing room. Born in 1946, he entered racing in the early 1960s towards the end of an era dominated by trainers like Sam Armstrong and Jack Waugh, and jockeys like Breasley and Piggott. This work tells his story.

George Duffield is the senior rider in the weighing room. Born in 1946, he entered racing (earning 19/6 a week) in the early 1960s towards the end of an era dominated by the toughest of men and toughest of standards: trainers like Sam Armstrong and Jack Waugh, and jockeys like the legendary Breasley and Piggott. George has also been associated with countless top-class horses, such as his 1992 Oaks and St Leger winner User Friendly and Eclipse hero Giant's Causeway and the dual Champion Stakes heroine Alborada. A true son of Yorkshire, George has never been afraid to speak his mind or fight his corner, a trait that has led to some intriguing confrontations with authority.
