Rare c1930 RPPC Postcard Horse Racing Port Sudan North Africa British Attendance

The British introduced Horse Racing in Port Sudan in 1929, and it\'s been flourishing ever since, even though there wasn\'t much incentive. Jockeys only got a 1 dollar a race during these times.

The postcard shows the British attendees on the rail (sidelines) as 2 horses hit the finish line. They are far apart as one is a gray horse by the judges stand.

When the British colonialists built the Sudan\'s first racetrack near the confluence of the White and the Blue Nile, they had no intention of spreading the sport to the Sudanese. British administrators, wearing khaki uniforms and pith helmets, sat with women protected from the sun by parasols. Typically, the only Sudanese present were the jockeys and stable hands.

This is a rare real photo postcard, as there aren\'t many around anymore. At the time of writing this, this is the only horse racing photo or postcard from Sudan of any time period. Add this worthy piece to your collection.

Please inspect the pictures, as they give the best representation of condition. May have discoloring, edge or corner wear, marks, creases, fading, smudges, corner or edge bends, tears, or corners missing.
