专家说明


By the late 17th Century, Newmarket had established itself as the racing capital of England, and here were trained the racehorses of many of the leading owners in the country. Wootton, based in London by 1706, was an astute man who, doubtless both executing and seeking commissions, visited Newmarket regularly. Tregonwell Frampton was the Keeper of the King's Running Horses.
