Having endured the hazardous world of jump racing, Richard, is revered amongst fellow professionals and rightly so. During his distinguished career he rode 1,699 winners in Britain and became champion jockey three times, a feat which earned him the MBE in 1993. Game Trust provided his first winner in 1983 at Cheltenham, Yorkshire Edition at Wincanton in 1999 was his record-breaking 1,679th. Racing over 10,000 times, his career high points include winning the Grand National on West Tip in 1986 and Minnehoma in 1994 as well as the Gold Cup on Charter Party in 1988. His best season saw him ride 197 winners in 1993/94. Yet, to the racing public, he is best known for his partnership with the hugely popular Desert Orchid. The pair won seven races, including the King George VI Chase in 1989 and 1990. He then completed jump racing’s Big Treble by landing the Champion Hurdle on Kribensis in 1990, only the fourth jockey since the war to have done so. A supreme stylist, his peers dubbed Dunwoody “The Prince”. Dunwoody’s successes continued throughout the nineties, including a string of big race wins aboard another popular bold jumping grey, One Man, and early in 1999 he overtook Peter Scudamore’s record of all-time winners. The Ulsterman’s eventual retirement in December 1999 was not planned. An injury to his right arm failed to heal properly and the three-times champion decided to call it a day before he was forced to. Former champion jockey and Channel 4 racing pundit John Francome paid Dunwoody the ultimate compliment when he said: “He made bad horses look good and every day he was at his best”. Richard was also voted National Hunt Jockey of the Year by his fellow jockey’s in 1990/92/93/94/95 and he was voted Champion of Champions in 2001. He has appeared on many terrestrial, local and satellite television programmes (including ‘This is Your Life’, Call My Bluff, Blankety Blank and Question of Sport). Since retiring Richard has focused on his business specialising in a full range of marketing services, sponsorship and personnel management.
