EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we witness the emotional journey of jockey Geoff Harker as he fearlessly rides Green Archer in the Comedy Of Errors Novices Hurdle at Gosforth Park Racecourse, Newcastle. The intensity in his eyes and the determination on his face reflect his unwavering commitment to the sport he loves. However, there is a somber undertone to this image. All jockeys participating in this race don black armbands as a mark of respect for Jayne Thompson, a talented female jockey who tragically lost her life during another race. What makes it even more heart-wrenching is that Jayne was none other than Geoff's girlfriend. This photograph captures not only the thrill and excitement of horseracing but also highlights its inherent risks and sacrifices. It serves as a reminder that behind every rider lies an untold story of dedication, passion, and sometimes heartbreaking loss. Taken on November 15th, 1986, by NCJ from Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot freezes a moment in time forever etched into racing history. It encapsulates both triumphs and tribulations within one frame – celebrating the courage displayed by these athletes while paying homage to those who have fallen along their extraordinary journey. As we gaze upon this powerful image, may it serve as a testament to the resilience and camaraderie found within the horseracing community – where victories are cherished but never without acknowledging those who paved the way or made ultimate sacrifices for their love
