"St Gatien with Charles Wood Up at Newmarket 1885" is an oil painting by the British artist Benjamin Cam Norton, which captures a moment in the illustrious racing career of the thoroughbred racehorse St Gatien. The artwork commemorates the horse's performance at Newmarket in 1885, with jockey Charles Wood mounted, showcasing the synergy between the rider and the celebrated equine athlete.

Benjamin Cam Norton (1835–1900) was known for his equestrian portraits and racing scenes, which often featured prominent racehorses of the Victorian era. In this painting, Norton's skill in rendering the power and grace of the racehorse is evident, as is his ability to depict the tense atmosphere of the racetrack. The composition focuses on the poised figure of Charles Wood, dressed in the racing silks, atop St Gatien, whose muscular form and intense gaze capture the essence of a champion racehorse in the heat of competition.

St Gatien, foaled in 1881, had a notable racing career, including a dead heat win in the 1884 Epsom Derby and a victory in the 1884 Cesarewitch Handicap under the guidance of Wood. Norton's painting not only serves as a tribute to the horse's athletic prowess but also as a historical document of the sport of horse racing in the late 19th century.

The painting is a valuable piece of sporting art, reflecting the cultural significance of horse racing in British society at the time. It is a testament to the legacy of St Gatien, whose performances on the turf left a lasting impression on the racing community, and to the artistry of Benjamin Cam Norton, who captured the spirit of the era through his detailed and dynamic portrayal of equine subjects.
