Epsom Races: The Winner, after the Race, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Epsom Races: The Winner, after the Race, 1856. Horses, owners and jockeys. Fly-by-Night was in considerable demand. At first 15 to 1 was booked about him to several hundred pounds. The last bet which came under our notice was 12 to 1 to £300. About Ellington 1000 to 60 was taken twelve times. The running of the Coroner, who has always been reported many pounds inferior to Yellow Jack, seemingly convinced those who had discredited the rumour that the owner of the two horses was after all best acquainted with their relative merits; 40 to 1 was offered against The Coroner, while his stable companion, Yellow Jack, was advanced to 100 to 6 (taken)'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
Epsom Races: The Winner, after the Race, 1856" is an intriguing photographic print depicting the excitement and thrill of horse racing during the Victorian era. The image captures the moment of triumph for the winning horse, "Fly-by-Night," and its jockey, as they make their way to the winner's enclosure. The horse, with its sleek coat and determined expression, is surrounded by a sea of people, all dressed in their finest attire, eager to congratulate the victorious team. The scene is set against a backdrop of the bustling Epsom Racecourse in Surrey, England. The air is thick with anticipation and the scent of competition. The crowd, a mix of men and women, don their finest hats and coats, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The betting scene is in full swing, with bookmakers scribbling furiously on their slates, recording the latest odds. The print reveals the intense betting activity that took place before the race. "Fly-by-Night" was a popular choice among the bettors, with odds as high as 15 to 1 being offered. The underdog, "The Coroner," had been dismissed by many, with odds of 1000 to 60 being taken against him. However, his performance in the race seemed to have convinced many of his true potential, with odds of 40 to 1 being offered against him. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of horse racing during the 19th century. It captures the essence of a bygone era, where the thrill of the race and the lure of the wager brought together people from all walks of life in a shared celebration of sport and competition.
