In this print titled "Derby Day at Epsom" we are transported back to the 20th century, specifically the year 1959. The image captures three lads from Newmarket, engrossed in studying form while sitting on the lush green grass. Their hats, which they proudly refer to as "hard hitters" add a touch of fashion and individuality to their attire. The setting is none other than Epsom Downs, where the prestigious Derby takes place. This iconic event draws horse racing enthusiasts from all corners of the world, eager to witness thrilling races and place their bets. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation and excitement. These young men exemplify the passion for horseracing that runs deep within them. With furrowed brows and intense concentration, they meticulously analyze each detail on their forms, hoping to uncover valuable insights that could lead them towards a winning bet. Their hats with curved brims not only shield their eyes from the sun but also serve as a symbol of tradition and style within this sporting realm. As they immerse themselves in their studies amidst such an awe-inspiring backdrop, it becomes evident that these individuals are true aficionados of both sport and fashion. This evocative photograph by Monte Fresco allows us to glimpse into a bygone era when horse racing was not just about placing wagers but also about camaraderie among friends united by shared interests and aspirations for success on Derby Day at Epsom Downs.
