EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, taken in the 1920s, we find Steve Donoghue, a legendary English flat race jockey, back in the saddle, but this time atop a donkey rather than a horse. Donoghue, born in 1884, is best known for his remarkable six victories in the prestigious Epsom Derby, a feat that has yet to be matched by any other jockey in history. However, the image captures him in a different role, as he participates in a fete for disabled soldiers at Gifford House in Roehampton. The year was 1923, and Donoghue had recently suffered a devastating fall from his horse during the Grand Prix de Paris, resulting in a broken arm. Yet, despite the injury, the indomitable spirit of the jockey was evident as he made an appearance at the fete to lend his support to the brave soldiers. The photograph shows Donoghue, with a warm smile on his face, skillfully guiding the donkey, demonstrating his natural talent and charisma even in the most unexpected circumstances. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the personality and character of Steve Donoghue, a true sportsman who continued to inspire and captivate the racing world, even during his recovery. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in the presence of a legendary jockey but also in the context of the time, as the country came together to support the soldiers who had been injured in the war. The image encapsulates the spirit of resilience, determination, and community that defined the era.
