Thomas Goodisson (1782–1840) was a four times Epsom Derby winning British jockey.
In 1795, he weighed only 4 stone 1 pound when he won a famous 500 guineas match race between the Duke of Queensberry's horse, Pecker, and Benington on the Beacon Course at Newmarket.
[4] As payment for winning the Derby, the horse's owner, Sir Charles Bunbury gave Goodisson a ten-pound note.
He insisted that he would have given the jockey more had his bookmaker, a man called Brograve, cut his own throat rather than paying out his losses.
Besides Bunbury and Grafton, his principle patron was the Duke of York for whom he won the 1822 Derby on Moses.
