EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the grandeur and majesty of 19th century horse racing, as depicted in a portrait of the legendary racehorse Harkaway. The photograph, taken circa 1840, shows Harkaway in his stable, surrounded by the trappings of his privileged existence. The horse's powerful muscles ripple beneath his sleek coat, and his proud, intelligent eyes seem to gaze intently into the distance, reflecting the fierce competition and determination that defined his career. Harkaway made history in 1838 when he won the prestigious Goodwood Cup, one of the most coveted races in the sport of horse racing. The Goodwood Cup, held at the Goodwood Racecourse in Sussex, England, was a major event in the racing calendar and attracted the attention of the aristocracy and the wealthy elite. Harkaway's victory was a source of great pride for his owner, Lord George Bentinck, who was a prominent figure in British society at the time. The stable in which Harkaway is depicted is a testament to the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed by racehorses of this era. The walls are adorned with ornate tapestries and the floor is covered in soft straw bedding. A groom stands nearby, holding a brush and a bucket of water, ready to attend to the horse's every need. The scene is one of calm and order, a stark contrast to the excitement and chaos of the racetrack. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a rare insight into the world of 19th century horse racing and the lives of the horses that made it so captivating. The image is a reminder of the rich history and tradition that continues to inspire and enthrall racing fans to this day.
