EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for Charles Wood, the legendary jockey, as he triumphantly crosses the finish line aboard Galtee More in the 1877 Derby Two Thousand Guineas and St Leger races. The image, taken in 1899, showcases Wood's focused determination and unwavering connection with his equine companion. The powerful Galtee More, with its muscular build and glistening coat, strides confidently towards the victor's circle, leaving the competition far behind. Charles Wood's riding skills were unparalleled in the late 19th century, earning him the admiration and respect of horse racing enthusiasts. His victories in both the Derby Two Thousand Guineas and the St Leger on Galtee More solidified his place in history as one of the greatest jockeys of all time. The thrill of the race is palpable in this photograph, as Wood and Galtee More celebrate their hard-earned victory. The sport of horse racing has captivated audiences for centuries, and this photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the equine athlete and the human spirit of competition. The intricate details of Wood's jockey silks, the vibrant colors of the racecourse, and the elated expressions of the onlookers all contribute to the timeless essence of this photograph.
