…a couple from the horse racing side…
The first is Secretariat's Belmont Stakes win, widely regarded as the greatest race an American thoroughbred has ever run. There is also a color shot from the same angle about two seconds later showing Turcotte looking backward but this is the one that ran in most papers.
The second is the 1913 Kentucky Derby which featured the famous "Fighting Finish" where both jockeys stopped riding their own horse and tried to knock each other out of the saddle.
