EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the thrilling finish of the 1906 Duke of York Stakes at Kempton Park racecourse. The Duke of York Stakes, a prestigious flat race for thoroughbred horses, was held at Kempton Park during this time and attracted large crowds of spectators. In this image, the favorite Polymelus is seen crossing the finish line in a graceful canter, leaving his competitors behind. The jockey, with determined focus, urges Polymelus on, as the crowd erupts in cheers. The grandstand, adorned with banners and pennants, is filled with excited onlookers, all eager to witness the outcome of the race. The lush green turf and the backdrop of the historic racecourse add to the sense of tradition and history that surrounds horse racing. Polymelus' victory in the Duke of York Stakes would have been a source of great pride for his owners and trainers, and a memorable moment for those in attendance. This photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of horse racing as a sport and the rich history of Kempton Park racecourse.
