Along with Steve Cauthen, Cash is recognised as having introduced the American crouch style that is now a common feature in Europe.

He is arguably the most admired jockey amongst fans & professionals anywhere.
For owners, having Cash ride for them was like having the birthday treat one looked forward to as a kid.

Whether it was walking into the paddock to greet him or hearing what he had to say as he slid off side-saddle after the race, the thrill was great.
