EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary jockey, Miss Dorothy Paget, and her eight-year-old gelding, Golden Miller, in action during a race at Leicester in the 1930s. The image shows a moment of calm before the storm, as Golden Miller effortlessly clears a fence, leaving his five rivals in his wake. With a gentle canter, the champion horse and his skilled rider appear poised and confident, a testament to their unmatched prowess on the track. Golden Miller, with Miss Paget in the saddle, was a force to be reckoned with in the racing world. This photograph was taken at a time when the gelding had already made a name for himself as a formidable competitor. The question on every racing enthusiast's mind was, "Will he win the National again?" The National, of course, referred to the Grand National, the most famous and prestigious steeplechase in the United Kingdom. Golden Miller had previously won the race in 1932 and 1933, and many believed he was on the cusp of another victory. As the racing season progressed, all eyes were on Cheltenham, where the Gold Cup, another major steeplechase, was set to take place. The Gold Cup was an opportunity for Golden Miller to prove himself once again as the champion of the racing world. The photograph serves as a historical snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the anticipation and excitement surrounding the legendary horse and jockey as they prepared for their next challenge. Miss Dorothy Paget, an accomplished and trailblazing female jockey, was a formidable presence in the male-dominated world of horse racing. Her partnership with Golden Miller solidified her place in racing history, and this photograph stands as a testament to their unforgettable achievements.
