EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous and intriguing photograph from 1932, titled "The Starter who was Caught at the Tote," the massed ranks of punters, jockeys, policemen, and even a horse react with undiluted horror at the sight of the race starter, identified by his pointing sticks and red jacket, placing a bet at the Tote window. The starter, with a waving hand and a mischievous grin, seems unfazed by the shocked expressions around him. The scene is filled with a sense of disbelief and chaos. Jockeys, some with whips in hand, point and shout in protest, while policemen, with their batons at the ready, look on in disapproval. A horse in the background rears up, adding to the pandemonium. The punters, umbrellas and canes in hand, blow their whistles and shout in protest. The Tote window, a popular betting system in horse racing, is a clear violation of the starter's role as an impartial arbiter of the race. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Patrick Bellew, captures the situation with a keen sense of humor and irony. The image is a reminder of the human element in sports, and the occasional lapses in professionalism that can lead to unexpected and amusing moments. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News, is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era in horse racing, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the sport. It is a reminder that even the most serious of events can provide moments of levity and amusement, and that the human element in sports is what makes them truly memorable.
