Jacinto Vasquez takes Onion across the finish line at the 1973 Whitney Stakes at Saratoga in one of the greatest upsets in horse racing history. Hall of Fame jockey Vasquez himself commissioned this work and two others in this sale (they are coming directly from him). Signed on verso, "Whitney Stakes Jacinto Vasquez," it measures 31x19" framed as an engaging panorama. By a talented British artist (Jacinto has since forgotten his/her name), but the artist has initialed it on the back "EFB."
