Fox, North, and others ride a race (left to right) mounted on lions. Fox is slightly ahead of North; behind are three other members of the Coalition of whom only Burke, in top-boots, his whip raised to strike his mount, can be identified. They advance towards the royal box (left) in which stand George III and Queen Charlotte. The king, impassive, in Profile to the left, holds the crown over the edge of the box, ready to present it to the winner, who is clearly Fox. The queen weeps, holding a handkerchief to her eye. Fox (a fox's brush projecting from his coat-tails) has passed 'The Winning post'. On a short flight of steps beside the post stands a young man, full-face, perhaps Pitt, holding a flag in one hand, a pair of evenly balanced scales in the other. On the right is a pavilion, with three boxes, crowded with spectators, too freely sketched for identification, except for the Prince of Wales and a lady who may be Mrs. Robinson, on the extreme left.
