EDITORS COMMENTS
John Francome: The Unforgettable National Hunt Jockey of the 1970s and 1980s This black and white portrait captures the essence of John Francome, one of the most iconic and charismatic National Hunt jockeys of the 1970s and 1980s. With a distinctive character that was as much a part of the sport of horseracing as the horses and courses themselves, Francome's presence both on and off the track was unforgettable. Born in Ireland in 1941, Francome's passion for horse racing began at an early age. He turned professional in 1958 and quickly made a name for himself in the National Hunt circuit, renowned for its steeplechases and hurdle races. Francome's unique riding style, which combined agility, determination, and a seemingly effortless grace, earned him numerous accolades and admirers. This cartoon-style portraiture masterfully captures Francome's infectious energy and spirit. The jockey is depicted in mid-ride, his focus intently fixed on the horizon as he expertly navigates his horse over a challenging obstacle. The playful caricatured details, such as the exaggerated facial expressions and the horse's animated ears, add a touch of whimsy and charm to the image. Francome's career was marked by numerous victories, including the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1979 on Synchronised and the Grand National in 1974 on Gay Trip. However, it was his indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to the sport that truly set him apart. This portrait is a fitting tribute to a legendary figure in the annals of National Hunt racing history.
