The race card that appeared in the Daily Mirror for Birmingham's Bromford Bridge races on the 1st of Sept 1953… Includes the apprentices Dominic and John Forte, the twins pictured below were both riding in the first race. Other apprentices riding included Eddie Hide and Wally Swinburn, whilst amongst the senior jockeys were Brian Swift, Tommy Gosling, Manny Mercer, Mickey Greening, and Ray Reader.
