Persimmon, ganador del Derby de Epsom en 1.896
He encontrado una joya cinematográfica, se trata de un pequeño cortometraje, de 33 segundos de duración, que muestra unas escenas del Derby de Epsom de 1.896.
La cámara estaba situada al pasar la meta y los caballos participantes pasan delante de ella a un ritmo mas lento que durante la carrera. Si se para la imágen se puede observar que los jockeys aún montaban con los estribos muy bajos y su posición sobre el caballo era perpendicular al mismo. Recordamos que en otra entrada de este blog se trató sobre la figura del jockey americano Tod Sloan que en 1.898 revolucionó el mundo de las carreras en Europa por su forma de montar con estribos cortos, como se hace en la actualidad.
Esta película fué realizada por Robert W. Paul que la reveló en su laboratorio la misma noche del Derby y la expuso en varios locales de Londres al día siguiente, el día 04 de junio de 1.896 y que fue un gran acontecimiento para aquella época.

I found a cinematic gem, this is a short film, 33 seconds long, showing scenes from the 1896 Epsom Derby.
The camera was located to move the goal and participating horses pass in front of it to a slower pace during the race. If the image is stoped be noted that the jockeys were riding with stirrups still very low and its position on the horse was perpendicular to it. We recall that in another entry in this blog is about the figure of the american jockey Tod Sloan that in 1.898 revolutionized the world of racing in Europe for its way of riding with short stirrups, as is done today.
This film was made by Robert W. Paul revealed that in his laboratory the night of the Derby and exhibited at various locations in London the next day on 04 June 1.896 and was a great event for that time.
