Herring gives Memnon the three-quarter turn and the cool, close-clipped coat of his classic year. Herring built his career on exactly this formula — the winning horse, alone, asking nothing of the viewer but attention — and owners kept commissioning it, decade after decade. The eye is painted wide and calm — Herring's horses rarely look tired, whatever the record says they'd just run. Stillness is also a kind of speed, remembered.
