EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured at Gosforth Park Racecourse, Newcastle in 1986, we see jockey Geoff Harker fearlessly riding Green Archer in the Comedy Of Errors Novices Hurdle. The intensity of the race is palpable as horses gallop with determination and jockeys push their limits. However, what makes this image truly heart-wrenching is the black armbands worn by all the jockeys as a mark of respect for Jayne Thompson, a talented female jockey who tragically lost her life in a previous race. What makes it even more heartbreaking is that Jayne was Geoff Harker's girlfriend. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the risks involved in horseracing and pays tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice pursuing their passion. It captures both triumph and tragedy within its frame, showcasing the dedication and camaraderie among these brave athletes. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how fleeting life can be and how important it is to cherish our loved ones every day. This print from Memory Lane Prints not only documents an eventful horse race but also encapsulates deep emotions that resonate long after the cheers have faded away.
