EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1907, a dapper gentleman is seen engrossed in his copy of The Winning Post at the bustling Kempton Racecourse. With an air of determination and concentration, he meticulously scans the pages of the sporting paper, his gloved hands carefully turning each one as he absorbs the latest racing news, gossip, and form guide. The gentleman's impeccable attire – a leather overcoat, collar and tie, and polished shoes – exudes an aura of sophistication and wealth, reflecting the elite status often associated with horse racing and high society. The Winning Post, published by the renowned journalist and racecourse commentator, Robert Sievier, was a must-have for any serious punter or racing enthusiast of the time. Sievier was known for his incisive wit and sharp tongue, using his platform to both inform and entertain his readers with his astute analysis and biting commentary. The paper was also notorious for its gossip column, which often targeted those who had incurred Sievier's displeasure on the turf. As the gentleman immerses himself in the day's racing coverage, one cannot help but be transported back in time to the thrilling world of early 20th-century horse racing. The photograph captures a moment of quiet intensity, as the man seeks to gain an edge in the high-stakes world of the sport, armed only with his copy of The Winning Post and his own intuition. The intrigue and excitement of the racecourse are palpable, making this image a captivating glimpse into the past.
