I own a very expensive original painting of Barbaro in which I bought from Pat DeLong this spring after his amazing romp in the Derby. I really thought that HE was our next coming. I didn't even know who Bernardini was at that point. I hope Barbaro pulls through. God knows that I was devastated in the Preakness. As soon as he pulled up, I was balling because I saw just how bad his injury was. Dr. Richardson recently said that his leg looked awesome and had even completely fused in some areas with only a little more fusing left to go in other places. Maybe Bernardini and Barbaro can compete against each other in the shed. Who will produce the first KD winner!?! I hope Barbaro lives to see that.
Here is my painting. Her work is so beautiful and this is a stunning painting in real life. Now, I'll always have a fantastic picture of a great horse and a great rider in a great moment in horse racing. Words do not describe the feeling that this picture gives you. I am very proud of it...

very nice!!
my favorite all time picture, just seemed to capture so much about horse racing and how exciting it can be....sunday silence and easy goer crossing the wire at the preakness. stride for stride.... it's amazing. not the head on, not completely side by side, it's at an angle so you can see them both well.
