EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by renowned photographer Dan Rowley, the electrifying atmosphere of National Hunt Horse Racing at Aintree Racecourse comes to life. The image freezes a heart-stopping moment during Ladies Day as jockey Will Kennedy is dramatically flung from his mount, Pickamus, just ahead of race winner Always Waining. The intensity and sheer power of these magnificent animals are palpable as they navigate the treacherous Bechers Brook obstacle. With its towering height and formidable drop on the landing side, Bechers Brook has long been a defining feature of this iconic steeplechase event. Rowley's expert timing allows us to witness the split-second before disaster strikes for Kennedy and Pickamus. The tension in the air is almost tangible as both horse and rider defy gravity momentarily before their inevitable separation. This photograph encapsulates not only the thrill but also the inherent risks that come with competing in such an exhilarating sport. It serves as a reminder that bravery and resilience are essential qualities possessed by both equine athletes and their human counterparts. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we cannot help but be drawn into the world of National Hunt racing - a world where triumphs are celebrated, challenges overcome, and bonds between horse and rider forged through unwavering trust.
