Aug19 Charley Favourite Horseracing Jockey Letter Letters Victories Jevington
EDITORS COMMENTS
This autograph letter, penned by the renowned jockey, Charley Wood, in the year 1900, offers a rare glimpse into the heart of a champion horse racer. Addressed to an unnamed recipient, the letter is filled with the excitement and passion that defined Wood's career on the racetrack. Charley Wood, a celebrated figure in the world of horseracing during the late 1800s and early 1900s, shares in this letter his most cherished victories. Among them, his finest moments were those spent in the saddle of the remarkable racehorse, Galtee More. The bond between jockey and horse shines through in Wood's words as he describes the thrill of crossing the finish line together, their combined efforts resulting in victory after victory. The letter, dated August 1, 1900, was penned from Jevington, a location that was likely a stop on Wood's extensive racing circuit. The ink on the page still holds the energy and enthusiasm of the jockey, as he recounts the details of their triumphs with pride. This letter, a testament to the enduring connection between man and horse, offers a unique perspective into the world of horse racing during the early 1900s. Its historical significance and the personal narrative it provides make it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on sports history or the history of horseracing.
