The title points to a single contest, a race run well and won with credit, and it captures the sporting pride that made racing a favorite subject for artists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Horse racing drew large crowds then, and horses were central to both sport and everyday work, so images of the track carried strong public appeal. Pay attention to the stretched strides and the riders' posture, the details artists used to convey speed and strain. The record does not name the race or the maker, but the subject speaks plainly to admiration for a hard-fought finish.
