The artwork, measuring 87x99.7 cm, showcases the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of Newmarket racecourse as it prepares for an exhilarating competition.

The meticulous brushstrokes bring to life every detail of these magnificent creatures and their skilled riders. As spectators eagerly watch from the sidelines, anticipation fills the air as they await the start of "The King's Plate". This prestigious event was held under the patronage of King George I himself, adding an extra layer of grandeur to this already thrilling spectacle. It symbolizes not only a celebration of horsemanship but also serves as a reflection of royal power and influence. Tillemans' masterful composition captures both action and stillness simultaneously – frozen moments in time where strength meets gracefulness on this hallowed ground.
