EDITORS COMMENTS
Ginger". McCain share a lighthearted moment at their Southport stable, basking in the glory of their historic victory in the Grand National for an unprecedented third time at Aintree. In this photograph captured by Stephen Shakeshaft on April 3rd, 1977, we witness a unique bond between man and horse that transcends the realm of competition. As Red Rum's powerful frame glistens under the sunlight, his eyes twinkle with mischief as if he understands every word of Ginger's joke. The camaraderie between them is palpable; it is evident that they are not just partners but friends who have shared countless hours together preparing for this very moment. Shakeshaft masterfully manages to capture a rare glimpse into Red Rum's playful side by coaxing out laughter from him with a simple polo mint. It is through these small gestures that we see the depth of connection formed between these two extraordinary beings. This image serves as a testament to the power of humor and its ability to forge unbreakable bonds even in high-stakes environments such as horseracing. It reminds us that amidst all the intensity and pressure, there is always room for joy and laughter. In this timeless snapshot frozen in history, we are reminded of Red Rum's legendary status not only as an exceptional athlete but also as an animal capable of experiencing emotions like any human being. This photograph encapsulates a beautiful moment where sport meets friendship
