Joe Marshall (1908–1973) was a flat racing jockey, who won the 1929 Derby on Trigo.

Career

Marshall was born in Edinburgh, where his father had lived for many years and worked in a hotel.[1]

As a young man, Marshall was apprenticed to Stanley Wootton at Epsom. His first major win was on Abbot's Speed, trained by Fred Darling, in the 1927 Great Jubilee Handicap at Kempton.[2] He also rode over jumps, his first winner coming over hurdles on Martonia at Hurst Park on 10 December 1927 on only his third jumps ride.[3]

He was called up to ride Trigo in the Derby by another trainer Richard Dawson, after Trigo's intended jockey Michael Beary asked to ride Dawson's more fancied runner, Le Voleur.[2] In the event, Trigo started at 33/1 but "won as he liked".[4] Marshall said after the race that he felt he had it won when he took the lead half a mile from home and "never really had an uneasy moment".[5] Marshall never rode Trigo again, but the attention generated by the win led to a new job in Chantilly. However, this was short lived.[citation needed]

He won few other big races, although he did twice win the Ayr Gold Cup.[4] He rode under both codes into the 1950s but his career was ended after he was found to be placing bets and the stewards withdrew his licence.[citation needed]

His nephew John was also a jockey and their careers overlapped for a time.[6] He also had a brother who he boxed in a charity boxing tournament three days after his Derby win.[7]

He died in Brighton aged 65.[citation needed]
