EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1955, the intensity of horseracing is beautifully captured. The Cheviot Plate at Gosforth Park becomes the stage for a thrilling showdown between two magnificent racehorses - Inner Circle and Bois le Roi. As they thunder down the course, their powerful bodies galloping in perfect synchrony, it is clear that victory hangs on a thread. Jockeyed by W Smith, Inner Circle charges forward with unwavering determination, his eyes fixed on the finish line. Just inches away, Lester Piggott atop Bois le Roi matches him stride for stride. The tension in the air is palpable as these equine athletes push themselves to their limits. Neck and neck they go, each jockey urging their mount onward with swift flicks of their whips. It's a desperate battle to claim first place in this flat racing spectacle. Every muscle strained and every sinew stretched as both horses give everything they have. The photograph freezes this heart-stopping moment forever - only a head separates Inner Circle from his rival Bois le Roi. Their noble heads held high with pride and determination as they leave behind a trail of dust in their wake. This image captures not just an exhilarating sporting event but also showcases the timeless beauty and grace of these majestic creatures who captivate our hearts year after year on racetracks around the world.
