EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and energy of the crowd at Cheltenham Racecourse during the 1985 Cheltenham Festival. The image, taken by renowned photographer Chris Barham from The Northcliffe Collection, freezes a moment in time as racegoers eagerly anticipate the start of a horse race. The grandstand is filled with an array of hats and coats, a testament to the unpredictable British weather. The faces of the spectators are a mix of hope, anxiety, and pure joy, reflecting the rollercoaster ride of emotions that comes with horse racing. In the foreground, a group of jockeys, dressed in their iconic silks, confer with one another, strategizing for the upcoming race. The tension in the air is palpable as the starting gates loom in the distance. The anticipation builds as the crowd leans in, some holding their breath, others clenching their fists in support of their chosen horse. The smell of fresh popcorn and hot dogs wafts through the air, adding to the carnival-like atmosphere. This photograph is a snapshot of the raw passion and excitement that defines horse racing and the Cheltenham Festival. It transports us back to a time when the thrill of the race was the only thing that mattered, a reminder of the enduring allure of this ancient sport.
