From The Hermes Spring-Summer 1982 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: The first efforts. The final stretch. Naturally, the winner and his jockey are equipped by Hermes.

From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2013/14 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Dynamic diagonals! The sense of speed is palpable. One corner for the start, its opposite for the finish. That initial burst of energy, heart racing, as the animal surges forward, its rider connected only by the touchpoints of reins and stirrups... From the stalls to the finishing line, rider and mount embody lightness, power, intuition and technique - two minds connected by a shared instinct, intimately attuned to each other's reactions. Our passion for horse racing dates back to Antiquity, evolving subtly down the intervening centuries. The modern form emerged in France and England, In the seventeenth century. Racecourses multiplied over the next hundred years, and today the sport is celebrated at prestige events like the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and the Epsom Derby in Surrey, England.
