EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Frank Charman, we are transported back to the 1970s, a golden era for horse racing enthusiasts. The image captures the legendary racehorse Arkle in all his glory, as he curiously peers over the shoulder of head lad Paddy Murray. With an air of anticipation and intensity, both man and horse seem engrossed in their own worlds. Paddy Murray is seen deeply immersed in reading the Sporting Life at the Dreaper stable on that memorable day - November 17th, 1975. His focused expression reveals a profound connection with the sport he loves so dearly. As head lad, Paddy's responsibility extended beyond mere caretaking; he was entrusted with nurturing these magnificent creatures into champions. Arkle himself steals the limelight effortlessly. Regarded as one of history's greatest racehorses, his presence exudes power and elegance. With his muscular frame and fiery spirit shining through those piercing eyes, it is no wonder Arkle became an icon within horse racing circles. This photograph perfectly encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an entire era defined by passion for horses and exhilarating races. It serves as a reminder of how sports can unite people from all walks of life under one common love - witnessing greatness unfold before their very eyes. Frank Charman's skillful composition immortalizes this extraordinary encounter between man and beast forever etched in our collective memory.
