Peb's caricature/humorist artwork depicts the Thoroughbred Giacomo, winner of the 2005 Kentucky Derby, surrounded by competitors Marenostrum, Lava Man, Top This and That, Borrego, With Distinction, and High Limit.
Giacomo’s 2005 Derby win is tied with 2009 winner Mine That Bird's for the second-biggest long shot win in Derby history (odds of 50 to 1).
