EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling moment of victory for the Australian racehorse, Bard of Avon, in the prestigious AJC Metropolitan race during the 1920s. Owned by J and J F Leitch and trained by E J Riley, the four-year-old chestnut stallion made history with his impressive win. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was an era of excitement and prosperity, and the world of horse racing was no exception. The energy and anticipation of the crowd are palpable as they watch the jockeys and their mounts approach the finish line. In the foreground, the triumphant jockey, likely Riley, is shown raising his arms in victory, a broad smile spreading across his face as Bard of Avon crosses the line. The horse, panting and coated in sweat, looks proudly up at his rider. The scene is a testament to the raw power and grace of both man and horse, as they push themselves to the limit in the pursuit of victory. This photograph is a timeless reminder of the enduring allure of horse racing and the indelible moments of triumph that define the sport.
