EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Stewart Fraser, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1980 Grand National at Aintree. The image freezes a heart-stopping moment as Rubstic, the previous year's victorious horse, takes a dramatic tumble at the infamous Chair obstacle. The intensity of National Hunt Horse Racing is palpable in this shot. Rubstic's fall serves as a stark reminder of both the exhilaration and unpredictability that permeate these races. As spectators hold their breaths, jockeys skillfully navigate their mounts through treacherous jumps and challenging terrain. The composition beautifully captures Rubstic mid-air, his powerful physique momentarily suspended against an expansive backdrop of greenery. The sheer force with which he hits the ground echoes throughout the frame, emphasizing both his vulnerability and resilience in equal measure. Fraser's expert timing immortalizes this pivotal moment in racing history. It reminds us that even champions can face adversity on any given day within this demanding sport. This photograph stands as a testament to the bravery displayed by both horses and riders alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Colorsport Images, it invites us to reflect not only on Rubstic's fall but also on our own ability to rise after experiencing setbacks—a poignant metaphor for life itself.
