EDITORS COMMENTS
Ambush II, ridden by jockey Tom Ollivant, triumphantly crosses the finish line to win the prestigious Grand National Steeplechase in 1900. Owned by the esteemed King Edward VII, this historic victory took place during the Victorian-Edwardian era, an era of grandeur and elegance in British history. The Grand National, held at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, England, is the most famous and prestigious steeplechase in the National Hunt racing calendar. The grueling race, which covers a distance of 4 miles and 3 furlongs, features a series of challenging obstacles, including the famous Becher's Brook and the Canal Turn, that test both the horses' physical prowess and their jockeys' skill and determination. Ambush II, a black and brown horse, jumps over the final hedge with ease, leaving his competitors behind. The victorious moment is captured in this stunning photograph, showcasing the excitement, drama, and thrill of horseracing during the early 1900s. This iconic image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Grand National and the legacy of King Edward VII, who was known for his love of horses and his support of the sport.
