EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from February 1954, we witness the triumphant moment of Cotton King, the undisputed champion of the prestigious Waterloo Cup. With his sleek greyhound physique and undeniable grace, Cotton King proudly wears the coveted Blue Ribbon of coursing around his neck. Standing on the right is Mr. T. Noble, beaming with pride as he holds onto his beloved canine companion's leash. A resident of Hesk Bank near Lancaster, Mr. Noble epitomizes the dedication and passion that comes with owning a champion like Cotton King. On the left side of this remarkable image stands Mr. Hardy Wright, an esteemed trainer who has undoubtedly played a crucial role in shaping Cotton King into a true winner. His firm grip on the dog's lead symbolizes not only control but also trust between man and animal. This photograph captures more than just a sporting event; it encapsulates an era when hunting was considered a popular pastime and blood sports were still prevalent in society. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with animals throughout history. Preserved by Mirrorpix for Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot transports us back to an era where dogs like Cotton King reigned supreme in their respective fields – icons whose names would forever be etched into sporting history books.
