EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the grand sport of trotting racing in the late 19th century, featuring the renowned Queen Nancy Hanks and her skilled driver, Budd Doble. The image, estimated to date back to around 1892, showcases the dynamic duo as they prepare for a race, with Nancy's regal presence and the powerful strides of her trotting horse on full display. Nancy Hanks was a celebrated figure in the world of harness racing, known for her exceptional horsemanship and graceful demeanor. Her popularity extended beyond the racing circuit, making her a beloved icon of the time. In this photograph, she dons an elegant riding habit, complete with a top hat adorned with a large bow, adding to her regal appearance. Budd Doble, an accomplished driver, expertly guides Queen Nancy Hanks, coaxing the magnificent trotter into a swift and rhythmic gait. The horse, with its powerful muscles rippling beneath its sleek coat, demonstrates the raw strength and agility required for high-speed trotting races. The tension in the reins and the focused expressions of both Nancy and Budd convey the intense concentration and determination necessary to compete at the highest level. The backdrop of the photograph, with its lush greenery and grandstand filled with spectators, underscores the excitement and energy of a live racing event. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of harness racing and the enduring allure of the sport, which continues to captivate audiences today.
