Peb's artwork depicts racehorses on a New Orleans streetcar pondering the possibility of a Horse of the Year title. Kentucky-bred Giant’s Causeway, Cartier Horse of the Year in 2000, is depicted hovering above as a blimp.
Tiznow was named American Horse of the Year in 2000, while Kona Gold was awarded the title of 2000 American Champion Sprint Horse. Point Given would claim the title of 2001 American Horse of the Year.

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).
