This photograph captures a historic moment in horse racing history - the defeat of Papyrus by Zev at Belmont Park, Long Island. Taken on 29th October 1923, this monochrome print showcases the intense action and adrenaline-filled atmosphere that surrounded this iconic race. In the early twentieth century, between the wars, horse racing was a highly popular sport that captivated audiences across Europe and beyond. The image portrays two magnificent racehorses thundering down the track, their powerful muscles glistening with sweat as they strive for victory. The determination in their eyes is palpable as they push themselves to their limits. The significance of this particular race lies in Papyrus' reputation as an unbeatable champion.

This photograph immortalizes the exact moment when Zev triumphed over his rival, forever etching his name into racing history. Preserved by Central News, this stunning image from the 1920s transports us back to an era where horseracing was not just a sport but also a symbol of strength and resilience.
