Our Grandfather Daniel Downes was a professional jump jockey from 1909-1926 excluding yrs 1910&1925 no idea why thought but he retired from being a jockey due to injuries and worked as a stud groom for the Agha Khan is there anyway I could find further information on him( horses he rode or races etc) as we know little about him .

Hi Cindy,
Have you tried Horse Racing Ireland, they may be of help or point you in the right direction.
There are also two families with the name Daniel Downes recorded in 1901 Census in this country and one 1911 in Kildare.
