Horse Racing for The Guardian – 2 October 2012
It’s been a while since I have covered a horse racing story. Yesterday The Guardian commissioned me to photograph at Chester Racecourse where they were trialling the introduction of hurdles. Competing against other specialist racing photographers it was very satisfying to come up with the scoop picture – Trainer Donald McCain’s horse ridden by jockey Jason Maguire fell at the last hurdle. Never nice to see a fall but fortunately the horse and jockey were only winded. See Guardian story with – http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/oct/01/chester-hurdles-trial-officials
Trainer Donald McCain safely leads the fallen horse back to the stables, followed by jockey Jason Maguire.
