From 1985, a watercolor painting of the great little gelding, John Henry, with Chris McCarron riding. When John Henry came to Golden Gate Fields in northern California to run in the Golden Gate Fields Handicap, I photographed him in this pose. It was before the race, and in typical John Henry fashion, he wanted a little time to himself to review the situation. Or maybe he just wanted to give his fans the chance to admire him. From my photos and memories of that day, I was able to create this watercolor portrait, which I later had made into limited edition reproductions.
