BackgroundLoates was from a racing family. He and three brothers were active as jockeys before and around the turn of the 20th century. The best known of his siblings was Tommy, who was one of Sam's predecessors as Champion Jockey. Riding careerIn 1899, there was an invasion of American jockeys into British racing. Despite the extra competition, he won his one and only championship with 160 winners. As the nation's leading jockey, on 28 October 1899 he entered into a lucrative agreement with Sir John Blundell Maple to be his retained jockey for three years. The fee for this deal was to be £2,000 p.a., plus travel expenses, plus £25 for each winner he rode. For the first two years, the relationship proceeded very amicably. In 1902, Loates rode the winners of over £20,000 in prize money.[4] But on 14 November 1902, at Northampton, Loates broke his thigh, with the effect that he couldn't take up his licence for the following season. Even though Loates finally obtained a licence in April, Blundell Maple took the initial denial of a licence by stewards on physical grounds as reason for terminating their agreement. Loates objected and took the case to court. Ultimately, the judge ruled that Loates was entitled to his retainer for 1902, but the relationship had been soured.[4] Later lifeLike many jockeys, he became a trainer on retirement. He trained for Solomon Joel and for a time was in charge of Derby winner Pommern. Major Wins{{flagicon|Great Britain}} Great BritainClassic Races
