Brod Munro Wilson Professional Champion Jockey

His elder brothers Thomas Peter (known as Peter) and Stanley James (Tim) Brookshaw were both top-class riders, Peter as an amateur, Tim as a professional champion jockey with more than 550 winners to his name.

As a child, Tony was the most academic of the three brothers and attended Newport Grammar School.

While Peter and Tim focused on gymkhanas, Tony preferred show ponies and enjoyed conspicuous success on a horse named Friars Balsam, which his father had bought for 1 as a foal.

One of his earliest rides under National Hunt rules was when completing the course in the 1958 Liverpool Foxhunters Chase on Blue Heather.

The best horse he rode was Holly Bank, owned by his father, who had paid 400 for him and hunted him for a season with Sir Watkin Williams Wynns hounds.

Holly Bank then won five prizes in the show ring before being put into training with Fred Rimell.

Hed provided both of them with big race victories at Cheltenham, winning the National Hunt Handicap Chase with Peter on board and the Golden Miller Chase when partnered by Tim.

Hed also carried Peter safely round in the 1958 Grand National.

Tony became Holly Banks regular partner in the latter part of the horses career and went on to win six races on him.

Holly Bank gave Tony his first winner under National Hunt rules when landing the Foregate Chase at Worcester on October 18, 1958.

Later that season he won a pair of hunter chases on Brockton, owned and trained by his father.

Tony and Holly Bank won three of their first four races during the first half of the 195960 campaign.

Tony would have ridden him in the 1960 Grand National but suffered a broken leg when kicked by a horse at the start at Warwick two months earlier.
