This remarkable print transports us back to 1925, immersing us in the world of horseracing and its legendary figures. In this image, we see a group of renowned jockeys gathered together before an important race. Steve Donoghue takes centre stage as he stands confidently on the scales.
Surrounding him are other notable riders such as McLachlan, Bullock, Smirke, Weston, Beary, Pat Donoghue, R. Jones, V. Smythe, Carslake Collins Wragg and McLachlan junior. This print serves as both a tribute to these iconic jockeys and a testament to Lavery's artistic prowess.
