name on the books, thought it would confuse readers since he already had the name recognition.

From wiki:

After wartime service in the RAF (bomber pilot), Francis became a full-time jump-jockey, winning over 350 races and becoming champion jockey of the British National Hunt. He came to further prominence in 1956 as jockey to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, riding her horse Devon Loch which fell when close to winning the Grand National. Francis retired from horseracing and became a journalist and novelist.
