J.Barrett
Riding in his first season, J. Barrett won the 1824 two-mile Goodwood Stakes on Lord Verulam's chestnut filly Vitellina, beating the Duke of Richmond's Dandizette and Mr Poyntz's Ghost. The 3-y-o winner carried just 5st 8lb. That November, at Newmarket's Houghton Meeting, J. Barrett and Vitellina won again, taking a £50 Subscription Handicap by a length from the J. Barnard-ridden Ghost with John Day riding Tiara back in third. J. Barrett served his apprenticeship under Mr Nash and received many compliments for his good jockeyship after this race, only his fourth ride on the racecourse and his fourth consecutive win. He was noted then as a promising rider of 'steadfastness and ability.'
