In the foreground, we see a skilled jockey astride his powerful steed as they soar gracefully over one of the hurdles on the track.

The crowd watches eagerly from both sides of the track, men dressed in dapper attire cheering for their favorite horses and riders. This scene epitomizes not only an exhilarating sport but also a social event where people from all walks of life came together to witness these incredible displays of horsemanship.
