Jockeys were awarded points for where they finished in each race with totals going toward the team's overall score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe inaugural competition was held at Sandown Park 22nd October 1980. The U.S. team won. It was hoped that it might become the horseracing equivalent of the Ryder Cup but, in the end, it was a short-lived competition which only took place one more time (with the British team winning). However, the event drew together some of the era's greatest jockeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ew\/ (facsimile) jockey signatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLester Piggott (U.K. Captain)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWillie Carson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBrian Taylor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJoe Mercer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePat Eddery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSteve Cauthen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWillie Shoemaker (U.S.A.
