EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the triumphant moment of Chosroes, the champion racehorse, crossing the finish line to win both the Manchester Cup and Hardwicke Stakes in 1924. Surrounded by a sea of spectators, Chosroes' jockey, George Archibald, expertly guides the thoroughbred to victory, with trainer Henry Seymour Atty Persse and owner, Admiral Sir Hedworth Meux, looking on with pride and excitement. Admiral Sir Hedworth Meux, a distinguished naval officer, was a passionate horse racing enthusiast who owned several successful racehorses throughout his lifetime. George Archibald, a skilled jockey with a remarkable career, steered Chosroes to numerous victories, cementing his place in racing history. Henry Seymour Atty Persse, a renowned trainer, was instrumental in Chosroes' success, meticulously preparing the horse for each race. The 1920s were an era of glamour and excitement in the world of horseracing, and Chosroes was a shining star in this vibrant scene. The photograph captures the essence of this bygone era, with the elegant attire of the spectators, the grandeur of the racecourse, and the raw power and grace of the horses on display. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of horseracing and the unbreakable bond between horse and rider, a bond that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
