Matthew A. "Matt" McGee was an American jockey born and raised in Covington, Kentucky who rode Durbar to victory in the 1914 Epsom Derby, England's most prestigious race, for Mr Herman B. Duryea. Based in France his other winners for Duryea included the 1913 French 1000 Guineas on Banshee. Afterwards he rode for several years for Baron Edouard de Rothschild up to 1927.
