1. Title: "Lord Rosebery Leads His First Derby Winner, Blue Peter, to Victory at Epsom Downs, 1939" This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the rich history of horse racing, as the Marquess of Rosebery, a prominent figure in British politics and society, leads his first Derby winner, Blue Peter, triumphantly around the historic Epsom Downs racecourse. The image, taken in 1939, showcases the excitement and elegance of the Derby, a premier event in the British sporting calendar. Blue Peter, a handsome chestnut horse, is ridden by jockey E. Smith, who skillfully navigates the thoroughbred through the throngs of spectators lining the course. The Marquess, dressed in formal attire, proudly wears a top hat and holds the reins of the victorious steed, beaming with pride and joy. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the Derby and the unique bond between man, horse, and the thrill of competition. Blue Peter's victory, finishing four lengths ahead of Fox Cup (ridden by Gordon Richards), with Heliopolis third, marked a significant achievement for Lord Rosebery, who had previously held the position of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1894 to 1895. The photograph also highlights the grandeur and pageantry of the Derby, with the picturesque backdrop of the Epsom Downs course, adorned with lush greenery and the vibrant colors of the jockeys' silks. The scene is further brought to life by the enthusiastic spectators, who eagerly cheer and wave their hats in celebration of the Marquess' triumph. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the Derby was not just a sporting event, but a cherished British tradition that united the nation in joy and excitement.
