In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1960s, a time when horseracing was at its peak. The image showcases the legendary racehorse Arkle, with his leg encased in plaster, standing proudly in his stable at Kempton. Alongside him stands jockey Paddy Woods, who is seen diligently exercising him. The photograph captures a poignant moment in Arkle's illustrious career. It was taken shortly after he finished lame when placing second to Dormant on the 28th of December 1966. Despite his injury, Arkle's determination shines through as he maintains an air of regality even amidst adversity. Arthur Sidey skillfully immortalizes this significant event in horseracing history through his lens. His attention to detail allows us to witness the strong bond between horse and jockey as they work together towards recovery and future victories. This snapshot not only serves as a reminder of Arkle's incredible talent but also highlights the resilience required within the world of sport. It symbolizes that setbacks can occur even for champions like Arkle but it is their unwavering spirit that propels them forward. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of the dedication and passion exhibited by both equine athletes and their human counterparts within the realm of horseracing during this iconic era.
