Carson’s best season as a jockey came in 1990 when he rode 187 winners, which included riding six winners at Newcastle Racecourse on 30 June, making Carson one of only four jockeys to ride six winners at one meeting during the 20th century.

Carson had a long association with trainer Major Dick Hern for whom he rode his first three Derby winners.

Five feet tall and riding at an easily maintained weight of 7 stone 10 pounds (49 kg) Carson was much in demand as a jockey up to his retirement in 1996 at the age of 54.

Carson was married to Carol Spares and they had three sons; Anthony, Neil, and Ross.
