Tom Goodisson

Thomas "Tom" Goodisson (1782–1840) was a four times Epsom Derby winning British jockey. He was the son of Dick Goodisson, the jockey who won the first three runnings of the Epsom Oaks. Goodisson was only 12 years old when he had his first race ride, on the Duke of Bedford-owned Cub at Newmarket. At that age, he was an incredibly lightweight jockey. In 1795, he weighed only 4 stone 1 pound when he won a famous 500 guineas match race between the Duke of Queensberry's horse, Pecker, and Benington on the Beacon Course at Newmarket.
