專家說明

Flying Childers, by the Darley Arabian out of Betty Leedes, was bred by Colonel Childers at Doncaster. Foaled in 1715, he was sold as a yearling to William, 2nd Duke of Devonshire, in whose livery the groom in this picture is shown. Known at the time as Childers ('Flying' was a soubriquet added later), he was the most celebrated racehorse of his generation and was never beaten.
