EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the triumphant moment of Spearfelt, the Australian racehorse, as he crosses the finish line to win the prestigious Melbourne Cup in 1926. Owned by Mr. D Grant and trained by the renowned V O Neill (also known as Vincent O'Neill), Spearfelt was a true champion of the twenties, an era known for its excitement and innovation in the world of sports. Spearfelt's sleek, powerful form is on full display as he gallops towards victory, with jockey after jockey in hot pursuit. The men in their colorful racing silks and the large crowd in the background add to the electric atmosphere of the racecourse. The date on this photograph places it firmly in the late 1920s, a time when the Melbourne Cup was one of the most anticipated events in Australia and around the world. Spearfelt's victory in the Melbourne Cup was a testament to the skill and dedication of his owner and trainer, as well as the horse's natural talent and determination. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history of horse racing in Australia and the thrill of competition that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
