[1] Her sire, Rubens was a successful racehorse, who at the time of Landscape's conception was covering mares at Wheeler's Farm near Wokingham in Berkshire at a fee of 15 guineas.
[3] Landscape's dam Housemaid (also known as Iris) produced several other good winners including Raphael, who finished second to Whisker in the 1815 Epsom Derby and Rainbow, who became a successful stallion in France.
[4] The General's filly had been officially named Landscape when she made her three-year-old debut in the Oaks Stakes over one and a half miles at Epsom on 1 June.
The race attracted eleven runners from an original entry of forty-eight, and despite her lack of previous experience, General Gower's filly was made 2/1 favourite.
Ridden by Sam Chifney, Jr., Landscape won the 1425 Guinea prize[5] from Duenna, with Mr Walker's unnamed filly taking third place.
