Despite coming from one of the most distinguished racing families of the late 19th century, Charles Loates Junior made a negligible impact on the racing scene. His father, also named Charles (1852-1921), rode over 600 winners, while his uncles Sam and Tommy had both been champion jockey.

Charles Archibald Loates was born in 1886. He was apprenticed to Newmarket trainer S. G. Pickering and rode his first winner when A.N.B. won the seven-furlong Apprentices’ Handicap by three-quarters of a length at Newmarket’s Craven Meeting on April 16, 1902. Thirteen days later, Charles and A.N.B. landed an identical contest over the same course and distance, this time by a length and a half.
