EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling photograph from the annals of horse racing history, the close finish between Willonyx and Martingale II at the 1911 Cesarewitch Handicap race at Newmarket racecourse in Suffolk, England, is a testament to the excitement and unpredictability of the sport. The Cesarewitch Handicap, first run in 1839, is the oldest handicap race in the world and is renowned for its unique challenge, with horses carrying weights based on their past performances. In this image, jockeys on horseback, their faces a mask of intense concentration, race towards the finish line. Willonyx, the nearest horse, and Martingale II are locked in a fierce battle, their hooves pounding the ground in a flurry of motion. The line between first and second place is a mere whisker's breadth, with the outcome of the race hanging in the balance. The crowd, unseen in the photograph but no doubt present, would have held their breath in anticipation of the result. The Cesarewitch Handicap is a flat race, meaning it is run on level ground, and the gallop of the horses is a sight to behold. The horses, powerful and majestic, strain every muscle to cross the finish line first. The 1911 Cesarewitch Handicap was a particularly memorable race, with Willonyx and Martingale II putting on a spectacular display of equine athleticism and determination. The photograph captures the essence of the race, the tension, the excitement, and the sheer joy of competition. The Cesarewitch Handicap remains a popular event in the racing calendar, attracting horse racing enthusiasts from around the world. This photograph, a snapshot of history, serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and tradition of horse racing in Suffolk and beyond. The close finish between Willonyx and Martingale II is a moment frozen in time, a moment that continues to inspire awe and admiration.
