EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Golden Miller, with W Stott up, in all his glory. Known simply as "The Miller," this celebrated jumper was owned by Hon Dorothy Paget and achieved great success throughout his career.
In 1934, ridden by G Wilson, Golden Miller clinched victory at the Grand National. However, in subsequent years he faced unexpected challenges, failing to finish in the top three despite being a favorite. Nevertheless, he continued to dominate the Cheltenham Gold Cup for several seasons.
The image showcases W Stott skillfully guiding The Golden Miller over jumps with grace and precision. This moment frozen in time epitomizes the thrill and excitement of horse racing during the early 20th century.
Originally featured on a Photocard issued by Ardath Tobacco around 1936, this photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the most iconic horses in sporting history. With every detail captured in stunning monochrome contrast, it serves as a reminder of The Golden Miller's remarkable achievements on the track.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to an era when champions like The Golden Miller captivated audiences with their speed, agility, and sheer determination to succeed against all odds.
