EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Portobello, a legendary racehorse, and his jockey P. Beasley in 1939. Portobello had an exceptional year in 1938, remaining unbeaten throughout the season and effortlessly winning most of his five races. In this portrait, we see a determined-looking man wearing a red cap atop his head as he sits astride the magnificent brown thoroughbred. The jockey's vibrant silks stand out against the lush green grass of the racetrack where they are positioned. The horse is adorned with blinkers, enhancing its focus on the upcoming race. The image exudes an air of excitement and anticipation that was characteristic of horse racing in the thirties. Both man and animal seem ready to conquer any challenge that comes their way. The number four prominently displayed on their attire signifies their position or perhaps serves as a lucky charm for success. This photograph is part of "Racehorses & Jockeys" a series consisting of forty prints published by W. D. & H. O. Wills in Bristol in 1939. It showcases not only the skillful partnership between rider and steed but also highlights the elegance and grace inherent to this beloved sport. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from nearly a century ago, it serves as a reminder of both our fascination with these majestic creatures and our admiration for those who dedicate themselves to equestrian pursuits at such high levels.
