EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of horseracing history with the image of renowned jockey, Charles Elliott, or "Charlie" as he was affectionately known, in the midst of his triumphant moment at the 1927 Derby. Elliott, dressed in the distinctive red and white colors of his esteemed employer, the 3rd Earl of Rosebery, sits confidently atop the powerful and elegant Call Boy. The Derby, the most prestigious and iconic flat horse race in the United Kingdom, had reached its climax, and Elliott had emerged as the victor, securing his place in racing folklore. Born in 1898, Elliott began his career as a jockey in 1912 and quickly rose to prominence, amassing an impressive record of victories. His alliance with Lord Rosebery, a prominent figure in British politics and horse racing, proved to be a fruitful partnership, resulting in numerous successes, including the Derby win on Call Boy. The photograph captures the intense focus and determination in Elliott's gaze, as well as the jubilant celebration of the crowd in the background, all contributing to the exhilarating atmosphere of the race. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of horseracing and the indomitable spirit of its participants. Elliott's story is one of perseverance, skill, and triumph, and this image encapsulates the essence of the thrilling world of horse racing. The photograph, taken in 1927, stands as a timeless reminder of the enduring allure and tradition of the sport.
