EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Ticket to Excitement: An Irish Derby Sweepstake Ticket from 1932" This photograph showcases an original Irish Derby Sweepstake ticket from the historic year of 1932. The Irish Derby Sweepstake was a lottery game based on the outcome of the Derby horse race held annually at Epsom, England. Established in 1927 as a fundraising initiative for the Irish Free State Hospitals, this unique sweepstake quickly gained popularity among the Irish population both at home and abroad. The image reveals an intricately designed ticket, with the Irish harp and the crest of the Irish Free State proudly displayed at the top. The Derby racecourse, complete with grandstands and the iconic Tattenham Corner, is depicted in the background. The ticket number, "12345," is prominently displayed in the center, surrounded by the intricate patterns and designs characteristic of the Irish cultural heritage. The Irish Derby Sweepstake was a significant historical event, as it provided an opportunity for the Irish people to engage with the excitement of horse racing while contributing to a worthy cause. The proceeds from the sweepstake went towards funding hospitals and improving healthcare facilities in the Irish Free State. This ticket serves as a testament to the unique blend of tradition, history, and community spirit that characterized this event. The Derby race itself, held on the first Saturday in June, was a highly anticipated event in the British racing calendar. Thousands of spectators would flock to Epsom to witness the thrilling spectacle. The Irish Derby Sweepstake allowed those who could not attend the race in person to participate in the excitement from afar. This photograph captures a moment in history, offering a glimpse into the past and the unique connection between the Irish people, horse racing, and charity.
