EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the golden age of horse racing, featuring the renowned jockey Tommy Weston in the prime of his career. Hailing from Yorkshire, Weston made history in 1926 when he was crowned the champion jockey of the British flat racing season. His successes were not limited to that year alone, as he rode for the esteemed Lord Derby and famously won the Derby on Sansovino in 1924. Tommy Weston's striking presence in this image is a testament to his skill, determination, and charisma. Dressed in the traditional jockey silks, he exudes confidence and focus, his eyes fixed on the horizon as if already anticipating the thrill of the race. The image, taken in 1927, captures the raw energy and excitement of the sport, with the backdrop of lush greenery and the grandstands in the distance adding to the sense of occasion. Horse racing was a national pastime in the 1920s, and Tommy Weston was one of the most beloved and respected figures in the sport. His achievements on the track, coupled with his humble demeanor off it, endeared him to fans and fellow jockeys alike. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the simple joy of horse racing brought people together in a shared celebration of athleticism, competition, and the thrill of the chase.
