EDITORS COMMENTS
R.B. Conkling's Bay Gelding Rarus, the King of Trotters: Driven by John Splan (circa 1878) This photograph captures the essence of the horse racing world in the late 19th century, featuring R.B. Conkling's renowned bay gelding, Rarus, and his skilled driver, John Splan. The image, taken around 1878, showcases the dynamic duo as they command the racetrack with unmatched grace and power. Rarus, the King of Trotters, was a celebrated figure in the horse racing community during this period. His striking bay coat and powerful build made him a formidable presence on the track. His exceptional speed and agility were matched only by his determination and spirit, making him a favorite among spectators and competitors alike. John Splan, an accomplished driver, expertly navigates Rarus through the racecourse, demonstrating his mastery of the art of horse racing. His focused expression and steady hand convey the intense concentration required to guide a horse at top speed. The pair's seamless collaboration is a testament to the deep bond between horse and driver, a bond forged through countless hours of training and competition. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of horse racing during the late 1800s, a time when the sport was at the height of its popularity. The combination of the magnificent Rarus and the skilled hand of John Splan makes this image a true treasure for any horse racing enthusiast or history buff.
