EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mr. August Belmont's Potomac Hamilton up and Masher Bergen up: by St. Blaise, dam Susquehanna by Lexington by the ill used. dam Magnetism by Kingfisher," showcases an exhilarating moment in American horse racing history. Taken around 1891, the image features two jockeys, Mr. August Belmont and Masher Bergen, atop their respective thoroughbreds, Potomac Hamilton and Kingfisher, as they race towards the finish line. August Belmont, a prominent figure in the sport, is depicted in the foreground, his intense focus on the race evident in his determined expression. His horse, Potomac Hamilton, strains at the bit, muscles taut and coat glistening with sweat. Masher Bergen, on the outside, rides Kingfisher with equal determination, the two horses neck and neck in a thrilling display of speed and athleticism. The backdrop of the image is a bustling racetrack, with the grandstands filled with spectators, their hats and parasols raised in excitement. The Susquehanna and Magnetism dams, named after famous racehorses, can be seen in the distance. This photograph captures the raw energy and spirit of the sport, as well as the fashion and social scene of the time. The horses, St. Blaise, Lexington, and Susquehanna, were all prominent racehorses in their own right, adding to the prestige of the event. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of horse racing in America and the thrill of competition that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
