"Two racing men in consultation on a race-course, with horses, jockeys, and a post-chaise in the background (left). They lean against a paling in front of the gable-end of a wooden barn or stable. One (left), with short unpowdered hair, wears a high-crowned hat and a long coat with many capes, he holds a riding-whip and a 'List of the Horses' printed in three columns and headed by a print of horses leaving the starting-post. The other wears a cocked hat, powdered hair or wig, and holds a 'Betting Book' and pencil-case in his right hand. Both wear spurred top-boots."--British Museum online catalogue
