EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a jockey with his trusty companion, a small two-wheeled buggy known as a "sulky". Taken in Italy around 1970, the image transports us to an era where horse racing was not just a sport but also a way of life. The jockey, dressed in traditional racing attire, exudes confidence and skill as he guides his powerful steed through the racecourse. The intensity on his face reflects the adrenaline rush that comes with competing in this thrilling equestrian event. The sulky itself is meticulously crafted, showcasing both functionality and elegance. In this snapshot of time frozen forever by an unidentified author from Alinari, we witness the harmony between man and animal. The horse stands tall and proud, its muscular physique ready for action. Its eyes gleam with determination as it pulls the lightweight sulky effortlessly along. Beyond capturing the essence of sportsmanship and competition, this photograph also offers glimpses into fashion trends of that era. The jockey's outfit showcases classic equestrian style - tailored jacket adorned with badges denoting achievements, snug-fitting pants tucked neatly into knee-high boots. As we delve deeper into this scene of transportation by land, we are reminded of how humans have harnessed their bond with animals to conquer vast distances throughout history. This image serves as a testament to our ingenuity in utilizing zoology and zootechnics for practical purposes. While little is known about the photographer or their intentions behind capturing this momentous occasion on film, one thing remains clear - their lens has immortalized an extraordinary slice of time within the world of horse racing.
