Modern day jockeys have an enormous advantage over riders of previous generations. Nowadays, video replays are only a click away, and high tech form analysis is readily available.
In the 1950s the legendary George Moore went to significant expense to keep a step ahead of his rivals. He employed a professional cameraman to film all Sydney metropolitan meetings, from a position high up in the public stand. It was a straight out lateral coverage, with no head on shots or fancy 'cutaways', but it was of enormous benefit to Moore in selecting his rides and keeping up with the form.
This Ern McQuillan classic shows George and his wife Iris at home, watching those replays. Note the expensive Bell and Howell film projector. Nothing but the best for the unforgettable George Moore.
