In the 1976 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Freddy Head rode to victory on a horse trained by his father and in 1979 took another win on a horse trained by his highly successful sister, Christiane "Criquette" Head.
A six-time winner of the French jockey's championship, Freddy Head scored a number of important Group I wins in the United Kingdom and is best known to Americans for his back-to-back victories aboard U.S. Hall of Fame filly Miesque in the 1987 and 1988 Breeders' Cup Mile.
In 2008, he became the first man ever to win Breeders' Cup races as both a jockey and trainer when Goldikova won the Mile.
His legacy lives on in Christopher Head, his son and the trainer of multiple Group 1 winner Blue Rose Cen, and Victoria Head, his daughter and up-and-coming trainer.
