Corner Derby Donoghue Epsom Jockey Papyrus Steve Winner 1923 Tattenham
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling moment at the 1923 Epsom Derby as the horses and jockeys round Tattenham Corner. With the grandstands of Epsom Racecourse looming in the background, the runners hug the rail, each jockey vying for position in the race for the coveted title. In the lead, the powerful bay horse Papyrus strides confidently, his muscular form a testament to the grueling 1 mile, 4 furlong race. Atop Papyrus, jockey Steve Donoghue maintains his focus, his determined expression a clear indication of the intense concentration required to navigate the winding course. Having previously won the Derby in 1921 and 1922, Donoghue was aiming for an unprecedented hat-trick, and with Papyrus, he was well on his way. The date, June 1923, adds to the historical significance of this image, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance, excitement, and unforgettable moments in horse racing history.
