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.
Oh look, Northern Dancer is racing right off the mural! Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was amazing when I first saw the 3D effect.
DeleteEspecially the horse jumping of the wall is a stunner. Great work of the artist. Nice one Andy.
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!
What a beautiful mural! I love the detail and the theme! And, really...that horse is simply going to run right over you! I am amazed at the talent...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous detail, and a stunning horse. Nice capture.
ReplyDeleteHe was a Canadian hero that horse! Wonderful mural Andy!
ReplyDeleteYou can see why the locals are proud of Winfields Farm. Impressive mural and dynamic representation of the pounding of hooves on the track. Cool choice for this week's Monday Mural. Thanks for continuing to participate in this meme.
ReplyDeleteI was brought up going to the track alongside my father. It holds delightful memories for me. Great mural find.
