Arthur Eastwood

Arthur Henry Eastwood (12 July 1905 – 8 November 1934) was a New Zealand jockey and rowing coxswain who competed at the 1930 British Empire Games.

[2] In 1930 he coxed the New Zealand coxed four team that won the gold medal in the British Empire Games in Hamilton, and the men's eight that earned a silver medal at the same Games.

[2] He was first past the post in the 1930 Auckland Cup riding Gay Crest, but was subsequently relegated to second behind Motere because of interference near the end of the race.

[2][4] Eastwood died at St George's Hospital in Christchurch on 8 November 1934, as a result of injuries sustained the previous day when the horse that he was riding in a race at Riccarton fell and rolled on top of him.
