Rio Grande's Last Race : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rio Grande's Last Race (詳細はAustralian writer and poet Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson. It was first published in the London ''Sketch'' magazine on 16 December 1896.〔(Austlit - "Rio Grande's Last Race" by A. B. Paterson )〕 It was later published as the title poem for Paterson's second poetry collection, ''Rio Grande's Last Race and Other Verses'', in 1902. The poem was one of Paterson's favourites, and its theme of a jockey's premonition of death is unusual for the poet.〔''The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature'', 2nd edition, p650〕 ==Plot summary==
Jack Macpherson, the only jockey with the ability and "hands to hold/The rushing Rio Grande", sits in the stands and retells the story of his dream. He dreamt that he was surrounded before the race by horses and riders, all dead, who told him how to ride Rio Grande that day. But the race was to end in tragedy with horse and rider both dying.
