EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of a horse racing event in the 1920s. The image captures "The Finish of the Race for the Oaks" on a sunny day at an undisclosed location. Pogom, the crowd favorite, is seen galloping towards victory with incredible speed and grace. As he crosses the finish line, his jockey's triumphant expression mirrors that of spectators who erupt into cheers and applause. Sobriquet and Mysia can be seen trailing behind Pogom, showcasing their valiant efforts in this fiercely competitive race. The intensity of their determination is palpable even in monochrome tones. This photograph not only freezes a momentous sporting occasion but also serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage during this era. It was captured by Central News, renowned for its exceptional photography that brings historical moments to life. As we gaze upon this portrait from TopFoto's collection, we cannot help but feel nostalgic for a time when horse racing held such widespread fascination and excitement. This image allows us to relive those emotions while appreciating the artistry inherent in both equestrian sportsmanship and early 20th-century photography techniques
