Synopsis
Excerpt from My Racing Adventures
To begin at the beginning and there is nothing like jumping Off the mark with a nice lead - I was born at the famous South Hatch training stables, Epsom, in 1868. Riding, as alleged, runs in families, and it certainly seems to have been running very freely in mine for a long time past. We have cultivated a fine natural taste for jockeyship; we have taken to it as ducks take to water, though for a different reason. I cannot go back exactly to the remote period when Nightingalls were not riding - they have clung to the saddle in more senses than one, just as though their fortune were bound up in it - but my earliest record of their prowess in that direction is a curious old whip, now in my possession. It bears the following inscription.
