EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Tom Buist, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Redcar Racecourse on the 4th of August, 1972. The image showcases two jockeys engrossed in conversation before a thrilling race in the Daily Mirror Women's Race. The palpable excitement and anticipation can be felt as these skilled athletes exchange thoughts and strategies, their faces reflecting determination and focus. Their colorful silks stand out against the backdrop of the course, adding a touch of elegance to this snapshot frozen in time. Redcar Racecourse has long been synonymous with flat horseracing, attracting enthusiasts from all walks of life. This particular event was especially significant as it featured female jockeys competing at a time when such opportunities were limited. It symbolizes an important milestone for women in sports during the 1970s. Buist's expert composition captures not only the camaraderie between these two jockeys but also hints at their shared passion for horse racing. The photograph serves as a testament to their dedication and skill while paying homage to an era where Teesside witnessed some remarkable sporting moments. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that sport transcends time and place; it unites people through shared experiences and emotions.
