The Grand National's Most Dramatic Moments - A Heartbreaking Collapse and an Unforgettable Race
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the 25th of March, 1956, a day that will forever be etched in racing history. The image captures the pinnacle of excitement as Devon Loch, the Queen Mother's beloved horse, leads the field with unwavering determination. But tragedy strikes just moments before victory is within reach. As spectators cheer on what seemed like an imminent royal triumph, Devon Loch stumbles or collapses in exhaustion a mere 50 yards from the finish line. The collective gasp from the crowd echoes through time as disbelief fills their faces. It was a moment that would haunt both jockey Dick Francis and racing enthusiasts for years to come. Yet amidst this heart-wrenching scene emerges resilience and hope. In the bottom half of the photograph sequence, we witness Devon Loch struggling to its feet against all odds. This display of sheer determination embodies not only the spirit of this magnificent horse but also serves as a testament to human perseverance. Ultimately denied victory by fate's cruel hand, it was ESB who seized first place after trailing behind Devon Loch throughout most of the race. Gentle Moya claimed second position while Royal Tan secured third. The presence of royalty adds another layer of significance to this already extraordinary event; both Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret were present alongside their mother during these unforgettable races at Aintree Racecourse. This remarkable print immortalizes
