A Light-Hearted Moment Before the Grand National's Toughest Challenge: 'Walking the Plank' at Bechers Brook, 1938 This photograph print, taken at the iconic Aintree Racecourse in 1938, showcases a group of jockeys who were set to compete in the renowned Grand National Steeplechase. Among them are Frenchie Nicholson, Evan Williams, Anthony Mildmay, Captain R. Harding, J. Moloney, Mr. J. Gordon, Jack Fawcus, Gerry Wilson, J. Hamey, and Mr. J. C. Bulteel, the Clerk of the Course. The jockeys are seen 'walking the plank' at the notorious Bechers Brook jump, a challenging obstacle that would test their courage and skill during the race. The Grand National, one of the most prestigious and historic horse races in the world, is known for its grueling course and unpredictable outcome.
