EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from May 1966, we are transported back in time to trainer Tom Dreapers' farm at Kilsallaghan, Co. Meath. The legendary racehorse Arkle takes center stage as he shares a moment with Head Stable lad, Paddy Murray. It is a rare glimpse into the intimate bond between man and horse. Arkle, known for his incredible speed and power on the racetrack, appears surprisingly calm and composed as he delicately balances himself while sharing a newspaper with Paddy. Their peaceful coexistence amidst the bustling stables speaks volumes about the trust and friendship that exists between them. The image captures an era when newspapers were cherished sources of information and entertainment. As Arkle engrosses himself in its contents alongside Paddy, one can only wonder what stories or headlines caught their attention that day. This snapshot not only showcases the beauty of horseracing but also offers a glimpse into daily life on Dreapers' farm during the swinging sixties. The vintage charm exuded by both Arkle and Paddy transports us to a simpler time where moments like these were treasured. As we admire this timeless print from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by extraordinary creatures like Arkle who captivated hearts around the world through their remarkable talent and unwavering spirit.
