This subject was commissioned by the Earl of March for Goodwood Racecourse, Sussex where the first cast is on public display. The artist commented of the commission that Horse was not intended to be an exact likeness of a throughbred, but an idea of a racehorse. (see E. Lucie-Smith, op. cit., p.98).
