The painting is a vivid snapshot of the period, reflecting the social customs and fashions of the time. The central focus of the artwork is the race itself, with horses and jockeys captured in mid-gallop, their movement and energy almost palpable. Hunt's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and realism to the scene, enhancing the viewer's sense of being part of the crowd.

Charles Hunt's ability to capture the essence of the Derby Day experience has made this painting a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of British sporting culture.
