Here is painting of the countryside around the horsetrack…lots of haystacks.
The winning jockey rode bareback and except for during the wrestling match (3 men vs. 1 horse) at the starting line, used no hands. He held two bamboo crops, and a whistle in his mouth.
The oldest jockey missed his feet in the dismount, and passed out on the grass. A crowd gathered and used a bamboo stick to check him out.
