The Yellow Cap

A fun day at the racetrack. Clusters of people all dressed up to the nines enjoying the sport of kings. In the foreground a jockey sits astride a racehorse just before a race while a strapper leads the horse along. The whole track can be seen and some of the urban landscape on the far side. Some of the typical racetrack characters can be seen in their characteristic poses.
