EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1960s, where the legendary racehorse Arkle is being lovingly tended by a dedicated stable lad named Johnny Lumley. The image captures a tender moment at Tom Dreaper's stables on the 3rd of February in 1966. Arkle, known as one of the greatest racehorses of all time, stands tall and majestic while Johnny Lumley attends to his every need. With an air of reverence and admiration, Lumley meticulously grooms Arkle's sleek coat, ensuring that he looks his best for upcoming races. The bond between horse and stable lad is evident in this photograph; it speaks volumes about the trust and connection they share. Lumley's gentle touch reflects years of dedication towards caring for these magnificent creatures who grace the horseracing world with their presence. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints by George Phillips, we can almost hear the soft nickering sounds echoing through the stables. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when horseracing was not just a sport but also an art form - where man and beast worked together harmoniously to achieve greatness. This print encapsulates not only an iconic moment in racing history but also pays homage to those unsung heroes like Johnny Lumley who played an integral role behind-the-scenes. Their unwavering commitment ensured that horses like Arkle could shine brightly on racetracks around the world.
