EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of intense focus and determination on the face of jockey Sam Wragg as he rides Mr. B Warner's horse in a race during the early 20th century. The vibrant orange, white, and green colors of Mr. Warner's racing silks stand out starkly against the black and white backdrop of the racecourse, adding a pop of color to this historical image. Sam Wragg, a skilled and accomplished jockey of his time, is seen here in the prime of his career. His strong and athletic build, poised posture, and intense gaze convey his deep connection with the horse beneath him, as they charge towards the finish line. The horse, with its powerful muscles rippling under its sleek coat, seems to be giving its all, its ears pricked forward in response to Wragg's commands. The photograph, taken in the first few decades of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of horse racing during this era. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the sport, with its combination of speed, skill, and drama. The use of cigarettes, a common sight in the world of horse racing during this time, adds an intriguing detail to the scene. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical sports images. It offers a unique insight into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse racing was a major social and cultural phenomenon. The photograph is a beautiful reminder of the passion, dedication, and excitement that has always been a part of this noble and ancient sport.
