Fast Trotting in the West - Lucy and Goldsmith Maid
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the thrill and excitement of a horse race in the American West during the late 19th century. The image, estimated to date from around 1871, depicts a determined jockey, Lucy, skillfully guiding her horse, Goldsmith Maid, as they charge towards the finish line. The horse's powerful legs propel them forward at a breakneck pace, its muscles taut with effort. The wind whips through Lucy's hair and clothes, her focused expression betraying no sign of fear or doubt. The backdrop of the photograph is a bustling racetrack, filled with onlookers who lean in, fully engaged in the drama unfolding before them. Horses and their riders jostle for position, the air thick with the scent of horseflesh, sweat, and the anticipation of victory. The sun casts long shadows over the scene, adding a sense of grandeur and drama to the moment. The trotting race was a popular equestrian sport during this time, with many communities organizing their own events. The sport brought people together, providing a much-needed distraction from the daily grind of frontier life. The photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie, competition, and adventure that defined the American West during this era. Lucy and Goldsmith Maid's success on the racetrack is a testament to the determination, skill, and courage of the women and horses who participated in these events. Their story is a reminder of the rich history of horse racing in America and the enduring appeal of this beloved sport.
