Its title, with the lively cry of "Hoplah!", points to a feat of horsemanship: jockeys guiding their mounts over a row of gold coins laid on the ground. Stunts like this belonged to the circus and hippodrome tradition, where daring riders drew crowds by pairing precise timing with the risk of a bad landing. The gleaming coins make the jump read as a wager against danger, and the picture celebrates the skill of riders who were admired as athletes of their day.
