EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the triumphant moment of Persimmon, the beloved racehorse, winning the prestigious Derby in 1896. Owned by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, Edward VII, Persimmon's victory marked a significant moment in both the prince's life and the annals of horse racing history. The Derby, one of the most esteemed and iconic races in the world of thoroughbred horseracing, took place at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, England. The annual event, first established in 1780, attracts thousands of spectators each year, and the excitement surrounding the race was palpable in 1896. Persimmon, a chestnut-colored horse with a distinctive white blaze on his face, was ridden by the renowned jockey, Fred Archer. Archer, who was known for his exceptional horsemanship and record-breaking wins, expertly navigated Persimmon through the grueling 1 mile, 4 furlongs, and 110 yards racecourse. The photograph shows the prince, dressed in formal attire, standing in the winner's enclosure, beaming with pride as he places the winning Derby trophy on Persimmon's neck. The jubilant crowd, dressed in their finest attire, can be seen in the background, cheering and celebrating the victory. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of horse racing and the deep connection between the sport and the British monarchy. Persimmon's victory for the Prince of Wales not only brought him great joy but also solidified his reputation as a successful racehorse owner. The image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse racing was a cherished pastime and the Derby was the pinnacle of the sporting calendar.
