EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ron Burton, we are transported back to the thrilling world of horseracing in the 1960s. The image showcases a historic moment at Epsom's prestigious Derby race in June 1969. Blakeney, an exceptional racehorse, is seen galloping towards victory with remarkable speed and grace. As the crowd roars with excitement, jockey Shoemaker on his trusty steed trails closely behind Blakeney in a fierce battle for supremacy. Prince Regent, another formidable contender, can be seen trailing just behind them as they approach the finish line. The intensity of the competition is palpable; every muscle strained and every heartbeat quickened as these magnificent creatures push themselves to their limits. The determination etched on both horse and jockey's faces is testament to their unwavering spirit and unyielding pursuit of glory. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the essence of horseracing as a sport that combines elegance, power, skill, and sheer adrenaline. It serves as a reminder of the dedication put forth by trainers who tirelessly prepare these majestic animals for such grand events. Ron Burton's expertly composed shot allows us to relive this iconic event from our past while paying homage to those who have made it possible - from trainers to jockeys - all striving for greatness within this exhilarating realm known simply as "the Derby.
