  Tommy McTaggart was a jockey in the news in 1914 when he was banned from the Jockey Club for "rough riding."

  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/27993114@N08] Absolutely! Though the silky top could give with a bit of an iron...

• Swordscookie said:

  NLI yer wicked! I was thinking the same but wondered if ironing silk is that easy - or was way back then before computerised electric irons? Interesting that they had an enterprise like that in a city. Interesting that they have/had a Railway Square on that side of the river given that the railway is on the Kilkenny side or in "Christendom" according to the google map? Does that make my friends from Waterford benighted heathens then????

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Swordscookie Oh, steady now! I'm half Waterford... ;) I'll be posting a pic of the stables themselves shortly, so keep an eye out.

• Tammy said:

  wonderful!

  What sort of nonsence is this?

Weighing in at the Birdsville Races, Queensland, ca. 1926

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Melbourne Cup might be the race that stops the nation, but the Birdsville Races is the race that sees the nation flock to one of Australia’s most remote towns. Well, maybe not the whole nation, but over 6,000 eager racegoers transform the 100–person town of Birdsville into a pumping metropolis the first weekend of September. It’s not just punters who travel hundreds of kilometres for the event – with $200,000 dollars in prize money up for grabs – horses and jockeys have been known to venture from interstate and overseas to gallop in the 13-race program.
