EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and focus of jockey K Robertson as he rides Mr JP Hornung's horse in a race during the early 20th century. The image showcases Robertson in his red and white jockey silks, a stark contrast against the white horse he rides. The horse, with its spotted coat, gallops forward with determination, its muscles rippling as it strains towards the finish line. Robertson's expression is one of complete concentration, his eyes fixed on the horizon as he urges the horse forward with subtle movements of his body. The red and white cap on his head, known as a jockey's cap or "skullcap," protects his head from the sun and adds a touch of tradition to his attire. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the era it represents. The early 20th century was a time of great change and progress, and horse racing was a popular pastime for the wealthy and the masses alike. The image of a jockey in action, dressed in his traditional colors, serves as a reminder of the rich history of the sport and the dedication of the men and women who made it a spectacle. Mr JP Hornung, the horse's owner, is also an intriguing figure in this photograph. His name, along with Robertson's, adds to the story of the image and the history of horse racing during this time period. The red and white colors of his stable, proudly displayed on the horse's saddle and the jockey's silks, add a sense of unity and identity to the scene. This photograph is a beautiful representation of a moment in time, frozen in history and offering a glimpse into the past. It is a reminder of the passion and dedication that has fueled horse racing for centuries and continues to do so today.
