This work of art captures a moment in the rich history of British horse racing, depicting the thoroughbred racehorse General Chasse, who was named after a famous military figure from the Napoleonic Wars, Marshal Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult, also known as the Duke of Dalmatia, whose title was 'General Chasse'. The painting is set against the backdrop of Aintree Racecourse, which is renowned for hosting the Grand National, one of the most prestigious and challenging steeplechases in the world.

In the painting, General Chasse is portrayed alongside two key figures in his racing career: his trainer and his jockey, J. Holmes. The trainer is shown holding the horse, emphasizing the close relationship and trust between the animal and his handler. Jockey J. Holmes is depicted standing by, likely symbolizing his role as the horse's partner on the racetrack. The composition of the painting, the attention to detail, and the vivid portrayal of the subjects are characteristic of Ferneley's work, who was known for his ability to capture the essence of the equine form and the atmosphere of the racing scene.
