10. Childs, Joseph (1884 - 1958)

Childs was a great exponent of winning races with a well-timed rush and so it went completely against the grain to ride Coronach in the 1926 Derby at a flat-out pace from start to finish. "The bastard ran away with me" was his post-race quote. 

In all, he achieved 15 Classic wins.
