EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the thrilling moment of victory for Red Alligator and jockey Brian Fletcher at the 1968 Grand National Steeplechase held at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. The Grand National, known as the 'Greatest Steeplechase in the World,' is one of the most prestigious and historic horseraces in the world. Held annually since 1839, the race attracts thousands of spectators and millions of television viewers. In this image, taken on March 30, 1968, Red Alligator, the eventual winner, is seen taking the jump at the Chair, the most famous obstacle in the race. The excitement and tension are palpable as the horse and jockey clear the obstacle with ease, leaving their competitors behind. The photograph captures the raw power and determination of both the horse and jockey, as they make their way towards the finish line. The 1960s were a golden era for horseracing, and the Grand National was no exception. Red Alligator's victory was a testament to the skill and dedication of both the horse and jockey, as well as the thrill and excitement that the sport continues to bring to audiences around the world. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the Grand National and the enduring appeal of horseracing as a sport.
