EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from December 1969, we witness the remarkable dedication and ingenuity of John Kenneally, a true pioneer in the world of horse racing. With an unwavering passion for his sport, Kenneally has transformed a once-abandoned rail track into a magnificent racecourse at Clipsham, Rutland. Having invested an impressive £15,000 and countless man hours tearing up the old rails, Kenneally's determination knows no bounds. He replaced the ballast with industrial sand to create optimal conditions for his ten-horse string throughout even the harshest winter weather. This innovative approach ensures that his horses can stay fit year-round. Underneath a picturesque bridge stands our trio of equestrian heroes - John Kenneally on Don Spirit, Phil Kettle on Wild Tudor, and Gerry Glover on Sestrel (not left to right). Their partnership exemplifies both skill and trust as they prepare for another exhilarating race. This snapshot not only captures the thrill of speed and competition but also showcases rural scenes at their finest. The juxtaposition between nature's beauty and these powerful creatures in motion is truly awe-inspiring. As we delve into this fascinating moment frozen in time from the 1960s, let us celebrate John Kenneally's unwavering commitment to his craft.
