Ephemera. Item #40892
A remarkable archive of 449 vintage color slides capturing the drama, elegance, and grit of late-20th-century American horseracing. Shot primarily on Kodachrome and Ektachrome, these images preserve the rich, saturated tones and crisp detail that defined the era’s best photography. Most appear to date from the late 1970s through the early 1980s, offering an evocative window into racetrack culture at a time when legends were being made. The collection features an impressive roster of renowned jockeys, including Angel Cordero, Jr., Jean Cruguet, Eddie Maple, Ruben Hernandez, George Martens, Mike Venezia, Ramon Encinas, Eric Beitia, Antonio Graell, Marjorie Clayton, Declan Murphy, Jeffrey J. Fell, Jerry Bailey, Angel Santiago, Jacinto Vasquez, Jack Neagle, Frank Lovato, Jr., and Jean-Luc Samyn, among others. Equally compelling is the lineup of notable thoroughbreds, such as Cabin Proof, Diplomatic Envoy, Gratification, Angelic Lass, Suite of Dreams, Hang Together, Demure, Bold Ascent, Autumn Angel, Know How and Luck, Bravest Girl, Double Dacquare, History Belle, Tyrolean Miss, Agile Jet, Big Walt, Rose Crescent, Rocky Marriage, Thunder Bridge, Our Escapade, Father Don Juan, Medieval Moon, Fifth Division, Bold Reason, Aztec Red, Galaxy Guide, Shadowmar, Trenchant, and many more.
