Description:
Mat Dawson sent out his first Derby runner when he was 20 years old, having previously been apprenticed to his father and head lad to his eldest brother. The horse finished last but Mat Dawson would train half a dozen Derby winners, and be successful in 28 Classics during his long career. He was one of the first to command a public stable with owners of his own choice rather than being a servant, receiving wages, in a private yard. In addition to training the best horse, St Simon (who does not appear on his roll of honour as he did not take part in the Classics), Mat Dawson also trained the best jockey of the era, Frederick Archer.
