1. Title: "Tommy Lowrey, the Famous 20th Century Jockey in the Colours of Major JS Courtauld" This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Tommy Lowrey, one of the most successful jockeys of the early 20th century. Dressed in the distinctive blue and yellow colours of his prominent patron, Major JS Courtauld, Lowrey is poised at the starting gate, ready for the race of a lifetime. The striped silks, adorned with the Courtauld crest, flutter in the wind, adding an air of elegance and tradition to the scene. Tommy Lowrey, born in 1880, was a legendary figure in the world of horse racing. His career spanned over four decades, during which he rode numerous winners and set many records. Major JS Courtauld, a wealthy English textile magnate and racing enthusiast, was a major supporter of Lowrey's career. The jockey's association with the Major brought him great success and numerous victories, including the 1909 Derby with the horse Ormonde. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the history of horse racing. The simplicity of the composition, with Lowrey's focused gaze and the stark contrast between the rider's dark attire and the light background, adds to the image's timeless appeal. The yellow and blue colours of Major Courtauld's silks, a symbol of their successful partnership, stand out against the monochrome backdrop, making this photograph a striking representation of the rich history of the sport. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, is a testament to the enduring allure of horse racing and the indomitable spirit of the jockeys who have made the sport their passion. It is a reminder of the past, a celebration of the present, and a promise of the excitement that lies ahead in the world of horse racing.
