"Red Deer"winning the "Chester Cup"- from a sketch made on the spot
" Red Deer" winning the " Chester Cup" - from a sketch made on the spot, 1844. Horse racing at Chseter. The first race came off at a little after three o clock, the last a few minutes before seven - a disregard of one of the cardinal virtues of the turf - punctuality, that might have been serviceable to the proprietors of the drinking-booths, but was anything but agreeable to those in the habit of attending Newmarket, Liverpool, Goodwood, and Ascot. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating moment when "Red Deer" triumphantly clinched victory in the prestigious "Chester Cup". The image, sketched on the spot in 1844, transports us back to a time when horse racing at Chester was a grand affair. The scene unfolds at the racecourse, where eager spectators gather around the grandstand, eagerly anticipating each thrilling race. However, punctuality seems to have been overlooked on this occasion, as the first race commenced slightly after three o'clock and continued until just minutes before seven. This disregard for timeliness may have pleased those manning the drinking-booths but surely tested the patience of seasoned attendees accustomed to more prompt events at Newmarket, Liverpool, Goodwood, and Ascot. Published in Volume I of "Illustrated London News" this engraving provides a glimpse into 19th-century British sporting culture. The jockeys skillfully guide their magnificent steeds across the track while sportsmen and enthusiasts cheer them on with fervor. Amidst all this excitement stands Red Deer - an embodiment of strength and grace - galloping towards glory. As we admire this vintage print from The Print Collector's collection curated by Heritage Images, we are reminded of how horse racing has long captivated audiences with its blend of athleticism and spectacle. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with these majestic animals and their ability to inspire both awe and admiration throughout history.
