It is difficult comparing eras. There are more races today and the likes of Tim Molony’s 10 wins came in a very different environment before back protectors, googles and the Injured Jockeys Fund. Still when we look at the men at the top of this list we are inclined to think we are living in a golden era of jockeyship.
