EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intensity and focus of Steve Donoghue (1884-1945), one of the leading flat race jockeys of the 1920s. Commissioned by The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, the portrait was created by renowned photographer W. Smithson Broadhead in 1925. Donoghue is depicted wearing the colors of his prominent owner, Mr. H.E. Morriss. The jockey's expression conveys a deep concentration, reflecting the mental and physical preparation required for a career in horse racing. The year 1925 was a particularly significant one for Donoghue, as it was the year he rode Manna to victory in the Derby, making him the champion jockey and winner of the most prestigious race in the sport. The silk colors of Morriss' stable, proudly displayed on Donoghue's jacket, add a touch of elegance and tradition to the image. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, was an era of cultural and social change, and horse racing was a popular pastime for the elite and the masses alike. Donoghue's success on the racetrack made him a celebrity, and this portrait serves as a testament to his skill, determination, and the enduring allure of the sport. W. Smithson Broadhead's masterful photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of horse racing during the 1920s. The portrait is a valuable historical document, showcasing the style, grace, and excitement of a time when the thrill of the race was a shared experience for people from all walks of life.
