Welcome Home! This print captures the heartwarming welcome that awaited the legendary Grand National winner, Oxo, as he returned triumphantly to the stables at Royston. The image transports us back to March 21st, 1959, when Aintree Racecourse witnessed a dramatic and treacherous contest. Out of thirty-four courageous starters in this renowned horse race, only four valiant steeds managed to conquer the grueling course. Chaos ensued during the first circuit as eight horses were caught up in a harrowing pile-up at Bechers. Undeterred by these obstacles, Oxo showcased his exceptional jumping skills throughout the race except for a minor stumble at the last fence. With unwavering determination and skillful horsemanship, Oxo surged ahead of his competitors and emerged victorious with an impressive lead of 1½ lengths over Wyndburg. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause as they welcomed their champion home. This remarkable photograph not only immortalizes Oxo's triumphant return but also pays homage to all those involved in this exhilarating sport – from dedicated supporters and enthusiastic spectators to skilled jockeys and magnificent horses like Oxo himself.
