Dave Dick (jockey)


David Victor Dick was a British jockey who competed at the Grand National from 1951–1965, winning the race in 1956 on E.S.B. He was the only jockey ever to win both races of the Lincoln-Grand National Spring Double and he holds the record, nine times, for the number of clear rounds on a notoriously difficult Aintree course.
Dick was born in Ashampstead, Berkshire, the son of racehorse trainer David Purves Dick and Alice Isabel Ivall. He died in Reading, aged 76.
