EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of horse racing history with the image of "The Champion Pacer Johnston," driven by the renowned jockey Peter V. Johnston. The photograph, taken around 1884, showcases the powerful and graceful Bashaw Golddust in full stride, named in honor of both its champion driver and its breeding lineage. Peter V. Johnston, a native of Chicago, was a legendary figure in the world of harness racing. His skill and expertise behind the reins earned him numerous accolades and a reputation as one of the greatest pacer drivers of his time. The horse in this image, Bashaw Golddust, was a chestnut stallion known for its exceptional speed and agility on the racetrack. The photograph's composition expertly highlights the dynamic interplay between horse and driver, with Johnston's focused expression and confident posture conveying a deep connection between them. The backdrop of the racetrack, with its grandstands filled with spectators, adds to the sense of excitement and energy that pervades the scene. This photograph is an invaluable record of a bygone era in horse racing history, offering a glimpse into the past and the passion that continues to drive the sport today. The image of "The Champion Pacer Johnston" by Bashaw Golddust is not only a testament to the skill and determination of its driver and subject but also a reminder of the enduring allure of the sport and the bond between horse and human.
