John Francome

John Francome rode his 1036th winner at Fontwell Park on 28th May 1984 on Don't Touch, trained by John Jenkins

This broke Stan Mellor's record of being the winning-most jump jockey in the world

In all John Francome rode 1,138 winners from 5,072 rides

This record has since been passed, in turn, by Peter Scudamore on 1,687 winners, Richard Dunwoody on 1,699 winners and latterly AP McCoy who is still riding
