Few horses in history have captured the
imagination quite like Smarty Jones.
In the time he dominated the racing
landscape, he thrilled us, moved us,
inspired us. He made our pulses race
and our hearts beat faster. History
will remember Smarty Jones as one
of the all-time greats: one of just four
undefeated Kentucky Derby winners and
one of just three undefeated winners of
both the Derby and the Preakness.
Though Smarty Jones may have galloped
off the track and into the record books,
the legend lives on. And now, the grit,
the heart, the class of this unforgettable
champion are brilliantly captured in an
exclusive series of prints created by world
renowned sporting artist Andre Pater.
The Smarty Jones by Andre Pater series encompasses
three individual works in pastel, each deftly capturing the
subject's particular spirit and fire.
"An artist is inspired by a great subject. And Smarty
Jones is one of the best of the best. You can see it in
his eyes... that horse has the heart of a champion".
- ANDRE PATER
