With
no
Triple
Crown
winner,
the
racing
industry
needed
something
to
awaken
a
sleeping
media.
That
something
came
in
June,
with
the
running
of the
2007
Belmont
Stakes.
A
small
crowd
of
only
46,870
people
had
come
to
Belmont
Park
to see
what
they
thought
would
be an
uneventful
third
leg of
the
Triple
Crown.
To
their
surprise,
they
would
see
one of
the
most
exciting
finishes
in
Belmont
history.
They
would
see an
amazing
horse,
Rags
to
Riches,
become
the
first
filly
in 102
years
to win
the
Belmont
Stakes.
On her
way to
achieving
this
feat,
she
had to
overcome
a
number
of
obstacles:
a near
disastrous
stumble
out of
the
starting
gate,
running
most
of the
mile
and a
half
on the
far
outside,
then
finally
battling
Curlin,
the
big
chestnut
colt,
eye to
eye,
right
down
to the
wire.
The
story
of
this
wonderful
filly
is
best
told
in a
quote
by
Steve
Haskins
in an
article
for
The
Blood-Horse
magazine.
„There
is a
saying
attributed
to
both
Eleanor
Roosevelt
and
Carl
Sandberg.
ŚA
Woman
is
like a
tea
bag.
It‚s
only
when
she‚s
in hot
water
that
you
realize
how
strong
she
is.

A Legacy
of Hope
Barbaro
-
After
watching
Barbaro’s
breakdown in
the
Preakness
Stakes, my
enthusiasm
for racing,
like that of
many others
who love it,
suffered a
crushing
blow. For
the first
time in
thirty years
of painting
Thoroughbred
racing, I
had lost my
enthusiasm.
While other
artists
hurried to
paint
Barbaro, I
didn’t know
if I could
paint this
horse, or
any other
horse ever
again. My
feelings,
along with
most of the
industry,
were that
Barbaro was
not going to
survive this
type of
injury.
Then
something
strange
happened.
The
combination
of a
dedicated
animal
hospital, a
race horse
with an
amazing
spirit, and
the eternal
hope of his
owners
caused me to
look at this
tragic event
in a much
more
positive
light.
At this
time, no one
knows the
future of
this very
special
horse, but
because I am
a story
teller, I
knew that I
had to paint
him, if only
to show the
dogged
determination
of both man
and animal
in the fight
for his
survival.
