EDITORS COMMENTS
Master Royston, ridden by renowned jockey Oliver Dixon, triumphantly clears the last fence to win the Open Point-to-Point Steeplechase in the spring of 1904. The image captures the thrill and excitement of horseracing during the early 1900s, as the horse and rider approach the finish line. Oliver Dixon, a skilled trainer and breeder, had a deep connection with Master Royston, having trained the horse from a young age. The Open Point-to-Point Steeplechase was a popular event in the countryside, attracting large crowds of spectators who gathered to witness the horses and jockeys navigate the challenging obstacles. The steeplechase course featured a series of jumps, each one more daunting than the last, testing the strength, agility, and courage of both horse and rider. In this photograph, Master Royston and Oliver Dixon have successfully cleared the final hurdle, with the winning post just a few strides away. The clearance of the last fence marks the culmination of their hard work and dedication, and the beginning of their celebration as the victors of the race.
