EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determination and grace of Jamaican jockey, E. Perkins, as he rides the chestnut horse, Black Amber, at Windsor Racecourse in 1933. The image, taken during the 1930s, showcases the rich history of Caribbean athletes in the sport of horse racing. E. Perkins, an Afro-Caribbean jockey, wears the traditional jockey silks and a protective helmet, his focused expression and strong posture reflecting his confidence and skill. The horse, Black Amber, appears powerful and agile, its muscles rippling as it strides forward. The lush green grass of the racecourse stretches out behind them, the grandstands filled with spectators, adding to the excitement of the race. The 1930s were an important decade for Black jockeys in the United Kingdom, with many traveling from the Caribbean to seek opportunities in the horse racing industry. E. Perkins is a testament to their resilience and talent, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations of Black jockeys. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a window into a time when the sport of horse racing was more diverse and inclusive than it is today. It serves as a reminder of the important contributions made by Afro-Caribbean athletes and the continued need to celebrate and acknowledge their achievements.
