British jump racing Champion Jockey
- British jump racing Champion Jockey
This is a list of Champion Jockeys of Great Britain's National Hunt racing. The title of Champion Jockey is bestowed on the jockey who has ridden the most winning horses during a racing season. From its inception in 1900 through to 1925, the award was given to the jockey who had ridden the most winners during a calendar year (January to December). Beginning in 1926, this changed, instead identifying the jockey who had ridden the most winners during a campaign season; the 1926 winner was rewarded for the 1925-1926 season, for example.
Tony McCoy has held the title of Champion Jockey 13 times, which is more than any other winner; he has also recorded the most wins in a season, with 289.[ Multiple jockeys have shared the award on three occasions: in 1944-45, in 1968-69, and in 1981-82. Over the years, three amateurs have won the title, though none more recently than 1919. One of them, Jack Anthony, won both as an amateur (in 1914) and as a professional (in 1922). Racing was suspended for several years during World War II, which meant there was no Champion Jockey in 1943 or 1944.]Champion Jockeys
