EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the 1920s, the powerful and elegant figure of Murillo, an Australian racehorse, takes center stage. Owned and trained by the renowned E A Connolly, Murillo made history by winning the prestigious AJC Metropolitan Race in 1927. The image captures the excitement and intensity of the racing world during this era, with a group of focused and determined jockeys gathered around the horse, ready for the next race. The photograph showcases the sleek and muscular build of Murillo, as he stands proudly with his ears pricked forward, reflecting his winning spirit. The jockeys, dressed in their colorful silks and helmets, are poised and alert, their eyes fixed on the horse, ready to leap into action at a moment's notice. The background of the image is filled with the hustle and bustle of racegoers, adding to the sense of energy and anticipation. The AJC Metropolitan Race was one of the most prestigious races in Australia during the 1920s, and Murillo's victory was a significant achievement for both Connolly and the racing community. This photograph is a testament to the passion, dedication, and skill that went into training and racing horses during this time, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of horse racing in Australia. The late 1920s were an exciting time in Australian racing, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the sport during this era. With its dynamic composition and powerful sense of energy, it is a must-have for any collection of historical sports photography.
