EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling moment of victory for the racehorse Xandover and jockey Edward Charlie Elliott at Newmarket Racecourse in 1931. The image, taken during the height of the horse racing season in the 1930s, showcases the raw power and grace of these magnificent animals and their riders. Xandover, a sleek bay horse with a distinctive white blaze down his face, is seen in full stride, his muscles taut and powerful as he strains towards the finish line. His jockey, Edward Charlie Elliott, dressed in the traditional racing silks and helmet, expertly guides the horse with a firm hand and a subtle touch of the reins. The scene is one of intense concentration and determination, as both horse and rider give their all in the pursuit of victory. The photograph, taken during an era when horseracing was a major social and sporting event, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of equestrian sports in the 1930s. With its rich history and enduring appeal, this image is a must-have for any collection of horse racing memorabilia or for those with an interest in the history of sports and equestrianism.
