EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures the essence of Steve Donoghue, one of the greatest jockeys in the annals of flat racing history. Dating back to 1924, the portrait shows Donoghue in his prime, dressed in the traditional attire of a jockey: blue and red silks, a cap adorned with the jockey's insignia, and a saddle slung over his shoulder. In his hand, he holds a whip, a necessary tool for guiding his mount through the racecourse. Steve Donoghue was a leading figure in the world of horse racing during the 1920s. His impressive career spanned over two decades, during which he rode numerous champions to victory. This illustration, created by renowned artist John Lavery, captures the intensity and focus of Donoghue as he prepares for a race. The blue and red silks that Donoghue wears in the illustration are the colors of his sponsor, a prominent figure in the racing world. The small, intricate details, such as the folds of the jockey's silks and the texture of the saddle, add to the authenticity of the image. This illustration is a testament to the rich history of horse racing and the dedication and skill of its jockeys. Steve Donoghue's legacy continues to inspire new generations of jockeys, who continue to push the boundaries of what is possible on the racetrack. This image is a must-have for any racing enthusiast or history buff, and a reminder of the thrill and excitement of a bygone era.
