EDITORS COMMENTS
Directum, the magnificent trotting stallion, captured in mid-stride during a race in the late 19th century. In this stunning photograph, Directum demonstrates his power and agility as he approaches the finish line, setting a new record of 2:05 1/4 for the mile trot. The image, taken around 1894, showcases the grace and athleticism of the horse as he trots effortlessly, leaving a trail of dust in his wake. Directum was a celebrated figure in the world of trotting, a popular form of horse racing that originated in Europe and gained significant popularity in North America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The sport of trotting requires horses to maintain a consistent gait, trotting with both hind legs on one side and then both front legs on the other, without breaking into a gallop. Directum's impressive record time was a testament to his strength, endurance, and skill. His powerful build, muscular frame, and focused expression convey his determination to win. The photograph captures a moment of triumph, a fleeting instant in time when Directum's abilities were at their peak. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of horse racing, a sport that has captivated audiences for centuries. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horses were the undisputed champions of the racetrack. Directum's legacy continues to inspire and delight, a reminder of the power and majesty of these magnificent animals.
