EDITORS COMMENTS
Leaving the Paddock: The Excitement Builds as the Derby Horses Approach the Post (1928) This evocative photograph captures the electric atmosphere in the paddock at Epsom Racecourse on Derby Day in 1928. The anticipation is palpable as jockeys and their mounts prepare to leave the safety of the paddock and make their way to the starting post. The horses, their coats glistening with sweat and their eyes bright with focus, are the epitome of athletic power and determination. The scene is a microcosm of the grand tradition and history of horseracing, a sport that has captivated society for centuries. The elegant ladies in their hats and fine dresses, their faces a mix of excitement and anxiety, are a stark contrast to the rugged masculinity of the jockeys and their strong, muscular horses. The crowd, a sea of hats and umbrellas, leans in, their eyes glued to the action unfolding before them. The Derby, one of the most prestigious and iconic races in the world, has been a fixture of the British social calendar since its inception in 1780. The event, which takes place annually on the first Saturday in June, attracts thousands of spectators from all walks of life, who come together to witness the thrill of the race and the excitement of the day. As the horses leave the paddock, the tension in the air is almost tangible. The roar of the crowd, the pounding of hooves on the track, and the sight of the horses surging forward towards the post, are all part of the magic and allure of the Derby. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of this historic and beloved sport, and a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds it.
