EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1920s, the powerful and majestic figure of Bacchus, an Australian racehorse, takes center stage. Owned and trained by the renowned W. Kelso, Bacchus had already made a name for himself in the racing world, having won an impressive three races. The image captures the raw energy and determination of both the horse and his jockey, who are intently focused on the upcoming race. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was an era of excitement and innovation, and horse racing was no exception. The sport attracted large crowds and generated significant attention, with races becoming major social events. The fashionable attire of the men in the background, dressed in their finest suits and hats, adds to the sense of glamour and sophistication. Bacchus, a sleek and muscular Thoroughbred, stands proudly in the starting gates, his ears pricked forward, ready to spring into action. His jockey, perched confidently on his back, holds the reins firmly, his eyes fixed on the finish line. The tension in the air is palpable, as the anticipation builds for the race to begin. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of horse racing and the connection between humans and animals. It captures a moment in time, frozen in history, and invites us to imagine the thrill of the race and the triumph of Bacchus and his dedicated trainer, W. Kelso.
