My Take

Eric Saint-Martin appeals to me precisely because jockeys live in the margins of fame. Born in Senlis in France's Oise, he came up in one of horse racing's great heartlands, and the Saint-Martin name carries real weight in French racing, hinting at a riding lineage. Steering half a tonne of horse at speed is an instinctive, nerveless craft that rarely shows up cleanly in statistics. Even with a thin public record, there's a distinct beauty in a life staked on the split-second of a race. I find myself wanting to quietly tip my hat to these unsung masters of the saddle.
