EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and focus of jockey Billy Stott as he rides Mr BD Davis' horse in a race during the early 20th century. Dressed in the distinctive blue and purple colors of Mr Davis, Stott's determined expression and poised body language convey the thrill and excitement of the sport of horse racing. The century-old image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of horse racing and the dedicated riders who have made it their passion. Billy Stott was a renowned jockey during the first half of the 20th century, known for his exceptional skill and dedication to the sport. Riding for some of the most prominent horse owners of his time, Stott amassed an impressive record of victories, earning him a place in the annals of horse racing history. In this photograph, Stott wears the colors of Mr BD Davis, a successful horse owner and breeder. The blue and purple stripes of Davis' silks are a striking contrast against the white jockey's uniform and the dark background of the racecourse. The image provides a fascinating insight into the traditions and symbolism of horse racing, with the colors of the jockey's silks serving as a visual representation of the connections and alliances between the riders, trainers, and owners. This photograph is an invaluable historical document, capturing a moment in time that speaks to the enduring appeal of horse racing and the indomitable spirit of those who have dedicated their lives to the sport. The image, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the rich and diverse history of horse racing and the dedication of the men and women who have shaped its legacy.
