N.B. In 1981 Clayton Pond "was commissioned to commemorate the 107th running of the Kentucky Derby with a large painting, a poster, and this limited edition print. For his subject matter, the artist bypassed the race horses and their riders and chose to work instead with the brightly colored and patterned jockey silks hanging in the silk room. Each print has a remark, hand-drawn by the artist, of the famous steeples of Churchill Downs appearing in the lower left corner." (1)
