EDITORS COMMENTS
A thrilling moment in the annals of horse racing history, this photograph captures the intense excitement of a race won by a short head. The image, taken in the 1920s, portrays the victorious horse and jockey crossing the finish line in a photo finish. The horse, with its powerful muscles straining and its ears pricked forward, has just managed to extend its neck a fraction further than its closest competitor. The jockey, clad in his distinctive silks, is seen leaning forward in the saddle, using the whip to urge his mount onward. The tension in the air is palpable as the two horses, their coats glistening with sweat, race towards the tape. The other jockeys, having given their all in the race, can be seen in various stages of exhaustion and relief as they approach the post. The victor, however, is a picture of elation, his face a mask of pure joy and triumph. The photograph is a testament to the skill, determination, and sheer grit of both the horses and their riders, making it a must-have for any horse racing enthusiast or history buff.
