Schwartz, Chairman of the New York Racing Association, in preparation for the 2001 Blue Grass Stakes, Arkansas Derby, and Wood Memorial Stakes. The racehorse entries depicted in this piece include Millenium Wind, Songandaprayer, Hero’s Tribute, Dollar Bill, Monarchos, Congaree, A P Valentine, Crafty Shaw, and Balto Star.
