EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the sport of horse racing in the late 19th century, as it depicts the renowned trotting horse, St. Julien, being expertly driven by Orrin A. Hickok. The horse, with its powerful build and focused expression, is named Volunteer and is the offspring of the distinguished sire, Sayres Harry Clay. The year is estimated to be around 1880. St. Julien, known as the 'King of the Turf,' was a legendary trotting champion, famous for his impressive speed and agility. Orrin A. Hickok, an accomplished driver, skillfully guided the horse to numerous victories, cementing their partnership as one of the most successful in the history of horse racing. The image showcases the horse and driver in perfect harmony, with St. Julien's muscular frame straining against the harness as it propels forward, while Hickok maintains a steady grip on the reins, his determined gaze fixed on the finish line. The backdrop of the racetrack, filled with spectators and other horses, adds to the excitement and energy of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of horse racing and the remarkable bond between horse and human. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sport was in its prime and the thrill of the race was a source of endless fascination and enjoyment.
