Kipling Cotes Derby racetrack at Enthorpe

This is a quick 14 x 10“ painting on canvas board using oil paint. I am standing with my Pochade box mounted on a tripod. The view in front of me shows the path to the old Enthorpe station, now a private house. The derby course is along the track and up the far hill before crossing the road, running from Middleton-on-the-Wolds to Market Weighton. From the Enthorpe Station House the course climbs 150 feet to the finishing post. This section is from Money Hill to Easthorpe Wold. It is amazing to think Henry VIII was King when this race was first run in 1519. The track still covers the same route which gives one a sense of history remembering all the times it has been run.
