EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1990, we witness the opening of the Kingsport Betting Shop in Charles Street, Cardiff. The star of the moment is none other than Nortons Coin, a horse racing legend who had recently caused quite a stir by winning the prestigious Gold Cup. As owner Mr Sirrell Griffiths keeps a tight rein on Norton, sisters Mrs Barbara Hornung and Mrs Beverley Lawrence raise their glasses to toast the exciting new venture. The atmosphere is electric as horse racing enthusiasts gather around to catch a glimpse of this bookies nightmare turned hero. Nortons Coin's unexpected victory had sent shockwaves through the betting world, leaving bookmakers scrambling to pay out winnings they never anticipated having to part with. As Norton stands tall and majestic amidst all the excitement, it becomes clear that he has become more than just a racehorse - he has become an icon. His presence at the opening of Kingsport Betting Shop symbolizes hope for both seasoned gamblers and novices alike; proof that anything can happen in horse racing. This photograph captures not only a significant moment in sporting history but also showcases the power of determination and unpredictability that makes horse racing such an exhilarating spectacle. It serves as a reminder that sometimes even our wildest dreams can come true when we least expect them.
