This handsome plaque has that early 1960s Danish Modern vintage appeal, beautifully constructed, with a typed paper label on the reverse that reads, "A shoe from the race. 1962 Kentucky Derby winner 'Decidedly.'" Made by Thoroughbred, the horseshoe shows use and was worn by Decidedly in that race, and is attached to the plaque. Decidedly was the fifth fastest winner in the history of the Derby and was sired by Determine, who also won in 1954. This was a very important horse, and only a few ran the Kentucky Derby faster. Measures 11.5x8x.75", condition is beautiful NRMT as is the presentation. This incredible find was one of two discovered at a recent estate in Woodstock, Georgia. Comes with Leland's LOA.
