EDITORS COMMENTS
King Edward VII, the beloved monarch of the British throne, graces the scenic grounds of Kempton Park Racecourse on a chilly January 30, 1903. Dressed in a stylish top hat and overcoat, Edward VII watches intently as his horse, Ambush II, prepares for the Stewards Steeplechase. The anticipation is palpable in the air as the jockey expertly mounts Ambush II, and the crowd gathers around, eagerly awaiting the start of the race. The King's expression is a mixture of excitement and hope as he watches his horse, a favorite among the spectators. The historical significance of the moment is not lost on Edward VII, who is known for his passion for horse racing. The Stewards Steeplechase is a prestigious event, and a win for Ambush II would be a great feat for the monarch. However, fate had other plans. As Ambush II approaches the water jump, a mishap occurs, leaving the horse coming in fourth place. Despite the disappointment, Edward VII maintains his composure, graciously acknowledging the applause of the crowd and offering words of encouragement to the jockey and the other competitors. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the elegance and grace of the royal family during a time of leisure and enjoyment. The image of King Edward VII at Kempton Park Racecourse, watching Ambush II before the Stewards Steeplechase, is a testament to the enduring legacy of British royalty and the rich history of horse racing events in the UK.
