Henry "Harry" Constable (1854 – 17 February 1881[1][2]) was a British flat racing jockey of the Victorian era. He was the Champion Jockey of 1873 with 110 winners, denying the famous Fred Archer his first Jockeys' Championship by 3 wins.[3] He also won the 1878 Derby on Sefton.[4] His fame was short-lived though, and he died at a young age in 1881 aged 26. He was the favourite jockey of Lord Rosebery.[5]
