March 18 - Super Saver
Years ago, I used to paint the winner of the Kentucky Derby to be presented to the winning trainer the following year at the Kentucky Derby Trainers' Dinner. Super Saver was the first KY Derby winner for Todd Pletcher. The owners of WinStar, Kenny Trout and Bill Casner along with Todd and myself line up for a firing squad. Well, that's what you'd think looking at Todd's face who appears just thrilled to be there.
