EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Davy Stephens, a renowned gentleman and prominent figure in Kingstown's social and sporting circles, proudly holds up a copy of The Winning Post, a sporting and racing news paper published by Robert Sievier. Circa 1904. The Winning Post was known for its lively gossip and bold criticisms, making it a must-read for racegoers, punters, and cricket enthusiasts alike. Sir Davy, an accomplished horseman and former jockey, was a regular contributor to the paper, using his column to share his expert insights on horse form and offer tips to readers. The poster in Sir Davy's hand advertises the upcoming Oaks race, one of the most prestigious events in the horse racing calendar. The image of the winning post, a symbol of triumph and success, adds to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the race. Sir Davy's stylish hat and jovial expression further convey the joy and camaraderie that characterized the sporting community of the time. Robert Sievier, the publisher of The Winning Post, was a larger-than-life character in his own right. Known for his sharp wit and biting satire, he used the publication to attack those he disliked on the turf, earning him both admirers and enemies. Despite the controversy, The Winning Post remained a popular and influential voice in the world of horse racing and sporting news. This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the excitement and energy of the sporting world in early 20th century Kingstown. Sir Davy Stephens, with his expert knowledge and charisma, embodies the spirit of the era, while The Winning Post, with its bold and provocative content, continues to intrigue and entertain.
