EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling atmosphere of the 1995 Grand National, one of the most prestigious events in National Hunt horse racing. The image showcases the intense start of the race at Aintree, with jockeys and their magnificent steeds poised for action. Among them is AP McCoy, a legendary figure in horse racing history, making his debut in this iconic race. In this particular shot, McCoy can be spotted on Chatam, easily identifiable as the fifth rider from the left. Dressed in royal blue with emerald green epaulets and armlets, he exudes confidence and determination as he prepares to tackle a formidable course filled with challenging jumps. However, fate had other plans for Chatam and McCoy that day. As they approached the 12th fence during this exhilarating contest on April 8th, tragedy struck when Chatam fell. Despite their best efforts and skillful riding by McCoy himself, victory was not meant to be for this dynamic duo. This photograph immortalizes both triumphs and tribulations experienced by these courageous athletes throughout their careers. It serves as a poignant reminder that even champions face setbacks along their journey towards greatness. Colorsport Images has expertly captured this pivotal moment in sporting history through its lens - an image that will undoubtedly resonate with fans of horse racing worldwide who appreciate both its beauty and inherent risks involved.
