The Stubbs painting of the great 19th century racehorse Gimcrack is well known around the world. So what better way to mark a victory in the race that carries his name than by receiving a commission to immortalise this year’s winner – Sands of Mali, featured above – of the Al Basti Equiworld Gimcrack Stakes on canvas. That task, under the direction of the winning owners, falls to EAL artist Vineta Sayer and the connections can look forward to something extra special by the time they address the 247th Gimcrack Dinner in December.
