Сэмюэль Чифни -младший (род. 1786) был английским жокей . Он был младшим сыном известного жокея 18 -го века, также называемого Сэмюэлем Чифни . С точки зрения таланта, он, как сообщается, затмил всех своих сверстников, но «он владел кнопкой самоуничтожения и имел смертельную тенденцию нажимать на нее». [ 1 ] Этот провал означал «его талант не был преобразован в конкретное достижение, которое выдерживает испытание временем». [ 2 ]
Он стоял на 5 футов 6 дюймов в высоту и боролся с весом. Он был слишком лень тратить, что, как сообщается, он думал, что «сродни китайскому водяному пыткам». [ 3 ] Когда -то его называли «длинным, худым, ленивым парнем». [ 4 ]
У него была сильная дружба с коллегой -жокей Джем Робинсоном , и Робинсон смоделировал свой стиль верховой езды на Чифни.
Ранний период жизни
[ редактировать ]Samuel Chifney was born in 1786. From the age of 6, he was out on Newmarket gallops twice a day, riding the Prince of Wales' Kit Karr under the tuition of his father. The father taught the son the slack rein style he himself used, known as 'the Chifney rush'.[2][5]
At 13, Chifney was apprenticed to Frank Smallman, his maternal uncle. Smallman trained in Hertfordshire for the Earl of Oxford and once it became clear how successful the Smallman-Chifney pairing was, the Prince of Wales took on Smallman as his trainer. Chifney became the Prince's retained jockey at a fee of £8 per annum. He first rode for the Prince of Wales at the Stockbridge meeting in 1802.[5]
Career
[edit]
Chifney arrived as a major jockey in Newmarket's Claret Stakes in the spring of 1805. On board Pavilion for Lord Darlington, he beat the previous year's Derby, Oaks and St. Leger winners partnered by Bill Arnull, Bill Clift and Frank Buckle
He was five times winner of the Oaks, on Briseis in 1807, on Sorcery in 1811, on Landscape in 1816, on Shoveller in 1819, and on Wings in 1823. Twice he took the Derby on Sam, a horse called after himself, in 1818, and on Sailor in 1820. The One Thousand Guineas also fell to him in 1843, when he rode Extempore, being at the time fifty-seven years old. He had training stables of his own at Newmarket, where with his brother William he had the care of Mr. Thornhill's and Lord Darlington's horses. The two brothers also had a small stud of their own, but this led them into difficulties, and the horses had to be sold in June 1834.
Chifney died in Hove, Sussex on 29 August 1854 and was buried in the churchyard of St Andrew's. His epitaph on the headstone simply reads of Newmarket. His wife, Sarah Mary Perren, (daughter of Newmarket trainer Thomas Perren) is also commemorated on the stone.
