"General Peel", the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas at the Newmarket Spring Meeting, 1864. Creator: Unknown
"General Peel", the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas at the Newmarket Spring Meeting, 1864. Every fifth year, on an average, since its commencement, has this great Newmarket race proved the forerunner of Derby or St. Leger honours...Our Artist, Mr. Harry Hall, of Newmarket, describes him as "fully sixteen one, of immense bone, with a neat head for so large a horse, a strong neck and very deep shoulders and girth, good ribs, and well-arched loin. He is long in the back, and consequently short from the hip to the setting on of the tail, and has long quarters and rather a broad chest, and stands a little wide with his forelegs. In a general view his fore-quarters preponderate over the hinder." Another, and one of our best judges, also states, in the Sporting Life, that, in "size, length, bone, substance, truth of conformation, and ponylike action, I question whether a racehorse can be found in Europe superior to this grand specimen." In colour he is a dark bay, with a blaze face and two white heels, and apparently with a very placid temper, and quite at his ease in a crowd. His winnings amount at present to £4700'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
Here is a possible caption for the photo print:
"In this striking photograph, General Peel stands proudly as the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas at Newmarket's Spring Meeting in 1864. With his impressive physique and powerful build, it's no wonder that he was hailed by experts as one of Europe's finest racehorses. Measuring a robust sixteen hands high, General Peel boasts a strong neck, deep shoulders, and well-arched loin - characteristics that earned him praise from renowned judges in the Sporting Life. His dark bay coat features a blaze face and two white heels, while his placid temperament allows him to remain calm even in crowded surroundings. With winnings totaling £4700 at this point in time, General Peel's reputation as a champion was well-deserved.
