Cadland, Winner at Epsom, 1828
Richard Gilson Reeve after John Frederick Herring Sr., 1828 · hand-coloured aquatint
What it is
Cadland, a dark bay, stands with his jockey up on the downs in Richard Gilson Reeve’s hand-coloured aquatint after J. F. Herring.
Why it matters
In 1828 Cadland dead-heated with The Colonel at Epsom and won the deciding run-off; he won fifteen races in all.
What to notice
A haystack and a post on the right stand alone on a wide, grey course.
Won twice in one afternoon.
