EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Terry Ryan, a renowned jockey of the early 20th century, as he rides Lord Portal in a horse race. Dressed in the vibrant red and gold colors of his employer, Lord Portal's racing stable, Ryan's strong posture and confident gaze convey his expertise and skill in the sport. The year is 1920, a century ago, and the historical significance of this image lies in the way it encapsulates the essence of a bygone era in horse racing. The scene is set at a racetrack, with the grandstands in the background filled with onlookers, their hats and umbrellas creating a colorful contrast against the lush green grass and blue sky. The horse, Lord Portal, strains at the bit, its powerful muscles tensed, ready to burst into a sprint at the sound of the starting gun. The atmosphere is electric, the tension palpable, as the jockeys prepare for the race of their lives. Terry Ryan's career as a jockey spanned several decades, and he was known for his exceptional riding abilities and his unwavering dedication to his craft. This photograph, taken in the prime of his career, is a testament to his talent and his place in the annals of horse racing history. The red and gold colors of Lord Portal's stable, which Ryan proudly represents, add a touch of elegance and tradition to the image, further enhancing its historical value. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse racing was a popular pastime and jockeys like Terry Ryan were the heroes of the day. It is a reminder of the rich history of the sport and the men and women who have made it what it is today.
