EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Owens, we are transported back to the thrilling horseracing event of the 1971 Andy Capp Handicap at Redcar. The focus of the image is none other than Willie Carson, a young jockey who emerged victorious in this prestigious race. With a beaming smile on his face, Carson proudly holds up the winners trophy, symbolizing his remarkable achievement on that memorable day - June 19th. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the essence of sport and competition as Carson stands tall beside his trusty steed, Song of the Sea. The determination etched onto his youthful features hints at the dedication and hard work required to reach such heights in professional horse racing. Redcar's scenic course serves as an idyllic backdrop for this historic moment in time. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, it becomes evident that horseracing has always been more than just a mere sport; it is a testament to human skill and partnership with these majestic animals. Owens' expertly composed image not only captures an extraordinary sporting triumph but also transports us back to an era when daily newspapers like The Daily Mirror were instrumental in documenting such events for posterity. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of Teesside's rich horseracing heritage during the vibrant 1970s – an era where dreams were chased and legends were born on those hallowed tracks.
