Artist: David Yeatman, of Aylmer, Quebec. Windfields Farm was the home of champion thoroughbred racehorse Northern Dancer. Both the 1964 Kentucky Derby and the Queen's Plate winner, Northern Dancer is pictured after his historic Kentucky Derby win with Jockey Bill Hartack and E. P. Taylor, owner of Windfields Farm. Windfields Farm became one of the most renowned thoroughbred stables in North America. I'm linking to Monday Mural.

ReplyDeleteOh yes, this is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteHorses seemed to have better names back then, didn't they? but, still, best of luck to I'll Have Another at the Belmont!
