Two horse racing photographs,the first a high-quality b&w photograph of eventual winners Corbiere and Ben de Haan at Becher's Brook first time round in the 1983 Grand National 1983, mounted ready for framing, image size 28 by 39cm.; together with repro b&w panorama of the packed grandstands at Hialeah Park, Florida, on Derby Day 1931, mounted, framed & glazed, 37 by 98cm. Corbiere here became the first Grand National winner trained by a woman (Jenny Pitman). Alongside him in shot, Williamson (No.41) can be seen appearing to make a race-ending blunder, his jockey Charlie Mann with hands in air 'catching two cabs', although amazingly the partnership somehow remained intact for another nine fences until Mann was unseated at the Chair. To the left is Delmoss (No. 30) ridden by Bill Smith, who finished 10th and last, while the loose horse next to Corbiere is That's It who fell at the first.
