EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the triumphant moment of Hermit, the winner of the 1867 Derby, as he returns to his stable after securing his place in racing history. The Derby, the most prestigious flat horse race in the United Kingdom, had reached its 21st running in 1867, and Hermit, a chestnut Thoroughbred, emerged as the deserving champion. The image reveals Hermit's glossy, well-groomed coat, a testament to the meticulous care and attention he received from his dedicated handlers. The horse's powerful build and focused expression convey a sense of determination and athleticism, reflecting the intense training and competition that led to his victory. The stable in the background, with its wooden stalls and hay bales, serves as a reminder of the essential role these structures play in the daily lives of racehorses. The scene is filled with a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation, as the jubilant crowd and the victorious team celebrate their hard-earned triumph. Hermit's win in the Derby marked a significant milestone in the history of horse racing, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sport captivated the nation and the world. The image stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the Derby and the unbreakable bond between horse and human.
