Framed Print of The late Fred Barrett, 1895. Creator: Unknown
The late Fred Barrett, 1895. The racing world has lost one of the most successful jockeys by the death of Fred Barrett on Jan. 21. He was only twenty-seven years old...Apprenticed to Manser, a well-known Newmarket trainer, he speedily showed his talent for riding, achieving twelve victories before he was fifteen. His list of successes includes the winning of the Ascot Stakes on Althorp and Eurasian, the Royal Hunt Cup on Acrostic, the City and Suburban on Bird of Freedom, and the Manchester Cup on Borneo and Cotillon. Barrett won the Derby in 1888 on the Duke of Portland's Ayrshire, the French Derby in 1889 on Clover and in 1890 on Heaume. After being fourth in the list of winning jockeys for three years he took the proud position of heading it in 1888...The cause of his death was declared to be Bright's disease, doubtless the result of unnatural reduction of weight, which takes place in the case of jockeys. He had latterly retired from the scenes of his triumphs, though two years ago he rode with all his old cleverness in Austria. Yachting was his chief amusement, and the liberality of the Duke of Portland, Sir R. Jardine, and the Rothschilds, who formerly retained his services, left him comparatively a wealthy man'.
