Race-horse van, 1844. 'This Engraving may be regarded as introductory to the brilliant scenes of the Goodwood meeting...the conveyance of the racers fresh to the course in the van for the purpose is not the least important preparation for a race by the functionaries of the stable. By this means the sleek and high-bred steeds are kept in good condition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
