Pretty Polly: The Queen of the Turf, Sponsored by Apollinaris - A Celebration of Horse Racing's Iconic Filly Pretty Polly, born in 1901, was an extraordinary Irish-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and a remarkable broodmare. Her impressive racing career began in the early 1900s and lasted until 1906, leaving an indelible mark on the history of horse racing. In this photograph, Pretty Polly, the "Queen of the Turf," is shown in her regal splendor, adorned with a garland of flowers and a jockey perched atop her back. Sponsored by Apollinaris, the renowned table water brand, this image is a testament to the deep-rooted connection between horse racing and the beverage industry during the 1900s. Pretty Polly's racing achievements were nothing short of extraordinary. She won fifteen consecutive races, an impressive feat that solidified her place in the annals of horse racing history. She was the fifth filly to accomplish the British Fillies Triple Crown, a title bestowed upon her since its inception in 1814. The image, dated circa 1905, captures the essence of the era, with the horse's sleek coat, the jockey's vibrant silks, and the lush greenery of the racecourse. The Apollinaris sponsorship adds an intriguing layer to this historical snapshot, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between horse racing and advertising during this period. Pretty Polly's legacy as a champion racehorse and influential broodmare continues to inspire generations of horse racing enthusiasts. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the thrill of the race and the allure of sponsorship came together to create unforgettable moments in the world of horse racing.
