He was an English jockey and the British flat racing Champion Jockey 26 times. He is often considered the world's greatest jockey ever and he remains the only flat jockey to have been knighted. The couple married in the spring of 1927 but Richards wanted to keep it a secret until he had ridden his 100th winner that season.
