What sets this picture apart is its title, which promises a whole field of horses bunched together at full stretch rather than a single champion pulling away. Racing scenes like this were popular in the nineteenth century, when crowds turned out in large numbers and artists worked to capture the churning motion of a race before fast photography could reliably freeze such action. Notice how the horses crowd one another and how the riders lean forward; the tangle of bodies and legs is the artist's way of suggesting speed and rivalry at once.
