TITLED “Horsemen, past and present”, this Bathurst District Historical Society image shows a young jockey, complete with riding whip and cap, with several other men in the 1890s.

The photo is a very casual one, as not all the men are even facing the camera. While it is understood that there are people by the name of Yeomans in the photo, we are not aware of any others.
