EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw emotion and intensity of horse racing in the early 20th century, as jockey Steve Donoghue is lifted off his injured horse after a tragic accident during the 1925 Grand Prix de Paris. Donoghue, a renowned figure in the history of horse racing, is shown being carried to safety by a group of concerned onlookers, including fellow jockeys and race officials. The expression on Donoghue's face is one of pain and determination, as he clutches tightly to his sling and holds on to the hope that he will be able to recover from his broken collarbone and continue his career. The scene unfolds on the bustling racetrack, with the grandstands filled with spectators, their faces a mix of excitement, concern, and anticipation. In the background, the horses are being led away, some with their jockeys still in the saddle, while others are being tended to by grooms and trainers. The sense of chaos and urgency is palpable, as the race continues despite the accident, underscoring the risks and challenges that come with the thrill of horse racing. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of jockeys like Steve Donoghue, who risked their lives to compete in one of the most dangerous and exhilarating sports of all time. It also highlights the importance of the support network that surrounded them, from fellow jockeys and race officials to the dedicated medical staff and horse handlers who worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all involved.
