Description
Painted in 2021, Secretariat’s Belmont by Vineta Sayer features her interpretation of 1973 US Triple Crown winner Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes by a stunning 31 lengths in a record- breaking time that has never been surpassed.
Acknowledged as one of the greatest racehorses the world has seen and immortalised in a Hollywood film, Secretariat won five Eclipse Best Horse Awards. The horse was owned by the late Penny Chennery, trained by Lucien Laurin and ridden by legendary jockey Ron Turcote.
Vineta’s painting shows in close-up the great horse flat out and in the distance in monochrome the also rans left in his wake.
