EDITORS COMMENTS
In the thrilling conclusion of the 1935 St. Leger Stakes, Racehorse Bahram crosses the finish line to claim the Triple Crown of British horse racing. The Triple Crown is a unique achievement, as it requires a horse to win the 2,000 Guineas, the Derby, and the St. Leger in a single season. Bahram, a chestnut colt with a powerful build and unyielding determination, had already secured victories in the 2,000 Guineas and the Derby, making him the favorite to win the St. Leger. The tension was palpable as the horses approached the final stretch of the race, with the roar of the crowd at Doncaster Racecourse reaching a fever pitch. Bahram, ridden by jockey Gordon Richards, surged forward, leaving his competitors behind. The prince Aly Khan, a prominent racehorse owner and the son of the Aga Khan, could hardly contain his excitement as he watched his father's horse, Cottage Rake, finish in a respectable second place. The scene at the finish line was one of pure elation. Bahram's connections, including his proud owner, the Duke of Westminster, celebrated their victory with jubilation. The prince Aly Khan, a keen racing enthusiast, led Cottage Rake off the track, his face reflecting a mix of pride and disappointment. The 1935 St. Leger was a race that would go down in history, with Bahram's Triple Crown victory cementing his place in the annals of horse racing legend. This photograph captures the excitement and drama of the moment, with the triumphant Bahram and the disappointed prince Aly Khan frozen in time. The cheering crowd, the track, and the racecourse create a sense of the electric atmosphere that surrounded this historic race in the 1930s.
