The engraving, created by an anonymous English artist, beautifully captures Gulley's strong presence and determination.

His success continued years later when he secured victories in the prestigious Derby and Oaks races in 1846. Gulley's portrait exudes strength and resilience, reflecting his unwavering dedication to sportsmanship.
