Description
Hamilton Park commissioned “A Dynamic Force” to anchor their 100-year centenary celebrations (1926–2026). This striking racehorse and jockey sculpture does more than decorate the grounds; it stands as a powerful, permanent tribute to the enduring legacy of Sir Ian Good.
Michael meticulously hand-crafted “A Dynamic Force” from hundreds of individual stainless steel fragments. Every weld and contour reflects the raw strength and stamina required in the world of elite horse racing.
By choosing marine-grade stainless steel, Michael ensures the sculpture will never rust or degrade—a fitting symbol for the permanence of Hamilton Park’s 100-year history.
This is not a static monument. The polished steel surfaces catch and throw the shifting Scottish light, mirroring the vibrant greens of the racecourse. As the sun moves, the sculpture evolves, appearing to pulse with life throughout the day.
To capture the ‘Dynamic Force’ of a racehorse, one must understand the harmony between the animal’s raw power and the jockey’s calculated control. This sculpture is the physical manifestation of that bond.” — Michael Turner
