Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in horseracing history, as the grandeur of Newbury Racecourse unfolds before the eyes. Circa 1910, the scene is set with a picturesque view of the paddock, where racehorses and their jockeys prepare for the upcoming race. The horses, with their sleek coats and determined expressions, are a sight to behold as they are led by their handlers, their hooves pounding on the dirt track. 3. In the background, the imposing grandstand stands proudly, a testament to the opulence and excitement of the sport. The grandstand, adorned with ornate architectural details, is filled with an eager crowd of spectators, all dressed in their finest attire, eagerly anticipating the thrill of the race. The atmosphere is electric, with the sound of cheers and laughter mingling with the scent of fresh hay and horseflesh. 4.
