EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the intense gaze of Flat race jockey Cash Asmussen (1951-1998) pierces through the frame, as he prepares for the thrill of a horse race in the 1970s or 1980s. The image, captured during a pivotal moment in his career, encapsulates the grit, determination, and character of a man who dedicated his life to the sport of horseracing. Born and raised in John Ireland, Cash Asmussen began his career as a jockey in the late 1960s. Known for his tenacity and skill, he quickly rose through the ranks, earning the respect of trainers, owners, and fellow jockeys alike. With his lean build and focused demeanor, Asmussen was a force to be reckoned with on the racetrack. The photograph portrays Asmussen in the moments before a race, his hands resting on the reins, and his eyes fixed on the finish line. The creases on his face tell the story of countless hours spent in the saddle, and the determination etched in his expression speaks to the unwavering dedication that defined his career. This portrait, reminiscent of both portraiture and caricature, offers a glimpse into the world of flat race jockeys during the 1970s and 1980s. It is a testament to the character and resilience of Cash Asmussen, a man who lived and breathed horseracing, and whose legacy continues to inspire new generations of jockeys and racing fans alike.
