EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of horse racing history with the iconic image of Bayardo, the legendary British Thoroughbred racehorse, ridden by the skilled American jockey, Danny Maher, in the prime of their careers. Owned by the enigmatic Alfred W Cox, who raced under the pseudonym 'Mr Fairie,' Bayardo was a force to be reckoned with on the track. The year was 1909, and Bayardo had already made a name for himself as a formidable competitor, having won the prestigious Eclipse Stakes and the St Leger Stakes. The Eclipse Stakes, held at Sandown Park Racecourse, is one of the oldest and most prestigious races in the British flat racing calendar, while the St Leger Stakes, held at Doncaster Racecourse, is the oldest Classic Race in the world. Bayardo's victories in these races solidified his status as a champion racehorse. The following year, in 1910, Bayardo continued his winning streak by claiming the coveted Ascot Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. This triumph marked the end of an extraordinary racing career for the champion Thoroughbred, who had also become a successful sire. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of horse racing, showcasing the unbreakable bond between horse and jockey, the thrill of competition, and the enduring legacy of a champion racehorse. Bayardo and Danny Maher's partnership on the track remains an inspiring example of skill, determination, and the unforgettable moments that define the sport of horse racing.
