BIG BROWN
Winner 2008 Kentucky Derby & Preakness Stakes


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. ŒA Woman is like a tea bag. It‚s only when she‚s in hot water that you realize how strong she is. – Fred Stone

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. – Fred Stone

DOWN THE STRETCH


In the early 80’s, there came a champion to represent the working class and the poor, disenfranchised people of this land. He was a small, older gelding named John Henry. He came from the wrong side of the tracks. A son of Old Bob Bowers, whose stud fee was only $2,500.00, John Henry captured the hearts and minds of the poor, as well as the rich, and the famous.
