EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the legendary Jockey Willie Carson takes center stage alongside a group of majestic horses known as "All the Queens Horses". The scene is set at West Ilsley, Berks trainer Major W. R. Hern's stables in April 1977. Standing tall with an air of confidence, Jockey Willie Carson embodies the essence of horseracing excellence. His expertise and skill are evident as he poses amidst a lineup of thirteen magnificent horses that have been entrusted to him by none other than Queen Elizabeth II herself. The regal backdrop showcases these equine beauties in all their glory. From left to right in the back row stand Star Harbour, Circlet, Alma, Tartan Pimpernell, Dunfermline, and Mary Fitton. In the front row proudly stand Valuation, Chain of Reasoning, Fife and Drum, Duke of Normandy, Rhyme Royal, Gregarious and Paintbrust. Adding further intrigue to this snapshot from history is Stan Clayton – former jockey for Her Majesty – who stands second from the right. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to the dedication and passion shared between jockeys like Carson and Clayton towards their craft. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to both tradition and athleticism within horseracing circles during the 1970s. It encapsulates an era where royalty met racing prowess on picturesque training grounds such as West Ilsley – forever
