EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Stewart Fraser, we are transported back to the thrilling and treacherous world of National Hunt Horse Racing at Aintree's Grand National in 1988. The image freezes a heart-stopping moment as Peter Scudamore, an esteemed jockey, astride his magnificent steed Strands of Gold, takes a dramatic tumble at the infamous Bechers Brook fence. The photograph encapsulates the raw intensity and unpredictable nature of this iconic race. As Scudamore and his horse approach the formidable obstacle, their determination is palpable. However, fate intervenes with an unexpected twist; Strands of Gold misjudges its leap over Bechers Brook, causing both horse and rider to come crashing down. Fraser's impeccable timing immortalizes this split-second incident forever on film. The composition showcases not only the sheer power and gracefulness of these majestic animals but also highlights the inherent risks involved in such a demanding sport. This evocative image serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit displayed by both jockeys and horses alike during one of racing's most challenging events. It reminds us that triumph can be fleeting while danger lurks just around every bend. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Colorsport Images' collection, we are reminded that even amidst adversity and falls like these, courage remains steadfast within those who dare to chase glory on horseback.
