In addition to the horse, Herring's composition includes the jockey, trainer, and other figures associated with the racing world, providing a comprehensive snapshot of the 19th-century British racing scene. The background, likely depicting the Epsom Downs racecourse, adds context and depth to the scene, enhancing the viewer's appreciation of the historical and cultural significance of the event.
