The Huntsman had previously finished third in the race in 1859 and second in 1860, being ridden in the latter race by the amateur jockey Thomas Townley. The Huntsman had left Chantilly in February 1861 under the care of Lamplugh to spend a year at Doncaster preparing for the Grand National.

"'The motto of Suvorin's ''Novoye Vremya'',' wrote Russia's greatest satirist Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, Saltykov-Shchedrin, 'is to go inexorably forward, but through the anus.'"
