EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the historic moment when the legendary Thoroughbred racehorse, Flying Dutchman, triumphantly crossed the finish line at the prestigious Ascot Racecourse in 1849. The image, featuring the jockey skillfully atop the powerful Dutchman, encapsulates the thrill and excitement of the Derby, St Leger, and Gold Cup races that this remarkable horse went on to win. Flying Dutchman, a chestnut Thoroughbred, was owned by the Duke of Newcastle and trained by the renowned trainer, Dick, Lord Carnarvon. His racing career began in 1847, and he quickly made a name for himself as a formidable competitor on the racetrack. In the span of just two years, Dutchman claimed victory in some of the most prestigious races in the United Kingdom, including the Derby, St Leger, and the Gold Cup at Ascot. The Derby, held at Epsom Downs, is one of the most famous and prestigious horse races in the world. Established in 1780, it is open to three-year-old horses and is contested over a distance of 1 mile, 4 furlongs, and 6 yards. The St Leger Stakes, founded in 1776, is the oldest Classic horse race in the world and is held annually at Doncaster Racecourse. The Gold Cup at Ascot, first run in 1807, is one of the most prestigious races in the British flat racing calendar and is contested over a distance of 2 miles, 4 furlongs, and 6 yards. This photograph print is a testament to the rich history of horse racing and the unforgettable moments that have shaped its legacy. The image of Flying Dutchman and his jockey, triumphantly crossing the finish line, is a reminder of the skill, determination, and passion that have long defined this beloved sport. Whether you are an avid horse racing fan or simply appreciate the beauty and history of this time-honored tradition, this photograph print is a must-have addition to any collection.
