British steeplechase jockey
Captain[1] Guy Fraser Disney MBE (born 17 March 1982[2]) is a British steeplechase jockey. He is the first amputee jockey to win a horse race at a professional race-course in Britain. He won the Royal Artillery Gold Cup, on his horse, Rathlin Rose, at Sandown Park Racecourse, in Esher in Surrey, on 17 February 2017.[3] Disney's horse was trained by racehorse trainer David Pipe.[3]
As a former serviceman in the British Army, Disney said his thoughts turned to his fallen colleagues in Afghanistan when he won.[4]
