Right about the time the Marx Brothers released their film "A Day at the Races" comes this 17x24" famed litho of seven ponies navigating a hurdle. The 1931 French work by Paul Brown gives an account of the race at the bottom that reads: THE WATER JUMP IN THE GRAND NATIONAL OF 1931 AT AINTREE: THE RIDERLESS TAMASHA THERAS: GRAKLE, NO. 6 THE ULTIMATE HINNER TOLANUM WHO HAS TO FALL LATER: EASTER HERE, NO. 1, THE CROWD'S FAVORITE, GREAT SPAN; AND GREGALACH, WINNER IN 1929, WHO FINISHED SECOND.
