EDITORS COMMENTS
In the grand tradition of British horseracing, the 2000 Guineas Stakes of 1918 played host to a historic moment as Lady James Douglas's thoroughbred, Gainsborough, crossed the finish line first. This triumphant victory marked the beginning of Gainsborough's successful campaign to win the English Triple Crown, making him the first Classic Race win for Lady James Douglas. The 2000 Guineas, the first of the three races in the Triple Crown series, is a prestigious event for three-year-old horses, and Gainsborough's win added another chapter to its rich history. This photograph captures the thrilling moment as Gainsborough, ridden by jockey Fred Darling, triumphantly passes the post, with his ears pricked and a determined look in his eyes. This win was particularly significant as it was the first time a horse bred by a woman had claimed victory in one of the British Classic Races, further highlighting Lady James Douglas's groundbreaking achievement. The 20th century was a time of great change, and this photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure and excitement of horse racing during that era.
