EDITORS COMMENTS
In the thrilling world of horseracing during the 1920s, few horses captured the hearts and imaginations of spectators quite like Racehorse Saucy Sue. The print showcases the triumphant moment after Saucy Sue, ridden by jockey Tommy O'Connor, crossed the finish line as the winner at Goodwood Racecourse in 1924. Proudly beaming in the background is her owner, Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor (1879-1952). Astor, an English aristocrat and businessman, was known for his extensive collection of racehorses and his love for the sport. His success in horseracing was a testament to his keen eye for talent and his dedication to the industry. Training Saucy Sue was Alec Taylor Jr (1862-1943), an accomplished trainer who had a long and distinguished career in the world of thoroughbred racing. Taylor's expertise and commitment to his craft were instrumental in helping Saucy Sue reach her full potential and become a champion on the racetrack. The date of the photograph is 1924, a time when horseracing was a major social event and a source of excitement and entertainment for people from all walks of life. The 1920s, also known as the "Roaring Twenties," were a time of prosperity and glamour, and horseracing was a reflection of the era's spirit of competition and adventure. Saucy Sue's victory at Goodwood was just one of many triumphs for this remarkable horse and her team. Her win not only brought joy and pride to her owners and trainers but also added to the legacy of horseracing during this iconic era.
