EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Minoru, the victorious Derby and 2000 Guineas winner of 1909. Taken in 1938 by artist WW Rouch, this portrait showcases not only the magnificent horse but also the esteemed individuals associated with his success. In the foreground, we see jockey Herbert Jones skillfully mounted on Minoru's back, exuding confidence and pride. Standing beside them are prominent figures who played pivotal roles in Minoru's racing career - King Edward VII, owner of the horse; Lord Marcus Beresford, responsible for running the King's racing stables; and trainer Richard Marsh. Minoru was born to greatness as he inherited his sire Cyllene's winning genes from the Ascot Gold Cup victory in 1889. His dam Mother Siegel further added to his bloodline prowess. Lady Wentworth documented this remarkable lineage in her book "Thoroughbred Racing Stock" published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd in London during 1938. This image encapsulates a significant era in British horse racing history when monarchs were deeply involved in equestrian pursuits. The men present exude an air of authority and sophistication befitting their royal connections. Their fashionable attire reflects both their status as well as the prevailing trends of early twentieth-century Britain. As a symbol of triumph and regality, Minoru stands tall amidst this distinguished group portrait. This photograph serves as a testament to his exceptional talent on racecourses while immortalizing an iconic moment that will forever be cherished within equine circles worldwide.
