Robby Albarado, champion jockey: 11 September 1973 to 4 August 2026

Close-up colour photograph of jockey Robby Albarado during the 2020 Preakness Stakes. Captured in left profile, he wears a bright blue helmet topped with a pom-pom, protective goggles, and matching blue-and-red racing silks that gleam in the sunlight. His focused expression suggests concentration immediately before or after competition. The softly blurred background isolates the veteran rider, drawing attention to the vivid colours of his racing attire and the fine details of his helmet and safety equipment.
