EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Birmingham Race Course in the 1950s. The image captures a thrilling moment during a race at Bromford Bridge on the 12th of July, 1954. In this particular race, we witness Flake, ridden by G. Brooke, crossing the finish line as the triumphant winner. With determination etched on their faces, both horse and jockey showcase their incredible skill and teamwork. As our eyes wander beyond Flake's victory, we notice Sailing Through ridden by E. Davey hot on their heels, trailing just half a length behind. The intensity of this close competition is palpable even through time's lens. The photograph also offers glimpses into the bustling world surrounding horse racing events in that era. Crowds gather eagerly around the trackside rails, placing bets with anticipation written across their faces. Spectators young and old are captivated by every stride these majestic creatures take. This snapshot not only immortalizes an exhilarating moment in sporting history but also serves as a reminder of how horse racing has long been embedded within communities as a source of excitement and entertainment for all walks of life.
