Greville Starkey: A Character of Flat Race Jockeys in the 1970s and 1980s This print depicts the enigmatic figure of Greville Starkey, a renowned flat race jockey whose career spanned the 1970s and 1980s. Starkey's intense focus and unwavering determination are evident in this striking portrait, as he gazes intently over the rim of his helmet, his hands clenched tightly around the reins. Born and raised in Ireland, Starkey began his racing career at a young age, quickly making a name for himself as a fearless and skilled rider. His distinctive riding style, characterized by his crouched and compact posture, allowed him to navigate the twists and turns of the racecourse with remarkable agility and speed. The era in which Starkey competed was marked by a unique blend of tradition and innovation, as flat racing underwent significant changes in response to advances in technology and shifting public attitudes towards the sport. Starkey's tenacity and adaptability allowed him to thrive in this dynamic environment, earning him the respect and admiration of both his peers and the racing community. This caricature, with its bold lines and playful exaggerations, captures the essence of Greville Starkey's indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to the sport of horseracing. Whether viewed as a work of portraiture or a celebration of the character and charisma of a bygone era, this image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the flat race jockey and the thrill of the race.
