	Would anybody know how to go about getting details of a member of the jockey club in the early 1900's. My g grandfather was a member of it, and apparently, rode in the french derby but can't find out any details. He was, however, thrown out of it at some point for fixing the races ( he he - naughty boy) so dont know if this would make any difference?? Any info on this would be much appreciated. Regards Clare x
