EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling moment after Hyperion, the legendary racehorse, shattered the Derby record with an unforgettable time of 2 minutes 34 seconds in 1933. In the foreground, Cicely Lambton, wife of the victorious trainer George Lambton, gazes proudly at the triumphant thoroughbred. Her expression mirrors the excitement and anticipation shared by the crowd, as they bear witness to history being made. Standing beside Cicely is Mr Oswood, the head lad, who played a crucial role in the horse's training and preparation. The trio is surrounded by the lush, verdant expanse of the paddock, where the anticipation is palpable as the other racehorses and their handlers wait their turn in the background. Hyperion's Derby victory was a testament to the skill, dedication, and passion of George Lambton and his team. The horse's record-breaking performance etched his name into the annals of racing history, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the magic and allure of the sport during the 1930s. As the sun casts a warm glow over the scene, the atmosphere is filled with the rich, earthy scents of the racetrack, the sound of hooves pounding against the ground, and the electric energy of the crowd. This moment, frozen in time, encapsulates the essence of a bygone era and the enduring allure of the racehorse and the thrill of the Derby.
