One of those paintings I'd love to get back into my hands . . .

A) I love black (really, really dark bays.)

B) He's from the first foal crop of Ky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus.

C) He's a Bluegrass Stakes winner at Keeneland.

D) I got up close to him when he won the Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park.

E) I painted him at the Keeneland yearling sale almost 20 years ago.

F) We have a FuPeg gelding named Painted Pegasus with the barn name Arthur for FuPeg's co-breeder Arthur Hancock. FuPeg was the last great sire by the amazing Mr. Prospector. He's also one of the few Keeneland yearling sale toppers that went on to win the KY Derby.

G) But this is about Bandini and I just feel this painting should be in my collection.
