Six riders go over a fence nearly together, their horses stretched in the air in a moment that shows how tightly a steeplechase field can run. The title notes that Shaun Goilin won the Grand National Steeplechase by a neck, a margin usually settled in the final strides after the last jump. Steeplechasing drew large crowds in the United States during the 1930s, and races like this one were judged on jumping form as much as on speed. The record dates the print to about 1935.
