"The Russell Record"

"The last week in November of 2006 proved a pretty tough time for jockey Russell Baze as he neared breaking the record for world's leading jockey in wins. We waited breathless for Russell to make horse racing history and to pass fellow Hall of Fame Jockey Laffit Pincay Jr. who had won 9,530 races before injury forced him into retirement. In the fourth race, on December 1, 2006 at Bay Meadows aboard "Butterfly Belle" Russell Baze made history, and will forever be in the record books as one of the greatest jockey's there ever has been! As of 01/23/07, Russell had won 9,587 races. A hero to some, we watch in awe of your accomplishments. You've honed your craft to a finely tuned art and show us dreams do come true! You're truly the best of us Russell!" Gicleé Prints now available

 

 

 

 

"Bred to be a winner, A.p. Indy, a son of Seattle Slew - out of Weekend Surprise by Secretariat. Out of his 11 career starts, he had 8 wins and 1 third, earning a total of $2,979,815. He won such prestigious races as the G-I Hollywood Futurity, as a 3 yr. old he won the G-I Belmont, G-I Breeders' Cup Classic, the G-I Santa Anita Derby, the G-II San Rafael, and the G-II Peter Pan. He earned Horse of the Year honors, and Best 3 year old in 1992. We were fortunate enough to see him race, and what a great competitor. As a sire today, he continues to earn the accolades. Stud fee is $300,000, at Lane's End Farm in Ky., and they're getting it! He sired Mineshaft, Horse of the Year in 2003, also one of 2005's leading runners A.P. Adventure. There are too many tributes to name earned by A.p. Indy, one of today's leading sires."

Russell Baze

"Russell Baze is nothing if not consistent. In 1998 he rode 400 winners for the seventh consecutive year, a feat that no other rider has come close to matching. Through Oct. 21, 2004 he ranked 21st nationally in purses with $6,128,929. Russell hails from a big family of horsemen. His father, Joe, was a jockey before becoming a trainer; his younger brother recently quit riding, and is now exercising horses; a cousin, two second cousins still are riders. There also lots of uncles, and cousins working on gates, shoeing horses, training horses. Born in Canada, Baze is the son of two American citizens, and is American by birth; at the time he was born, his father was riding at Exhibition Park. Baze began riding at Yakima Meadows in 1974. His first winner, Oregon Warrior, was trained by his father. Russell currently ranks fourth on the all-time win list behind Champions as Laffit Pincay Jr., the late Bill Shoemaker, and Pat Day. Russell is fast approaching his 8,500th win mark. He's accomplished at his task."

Mr. Prospector

"Tom did this painting in the Summer of 1999 when he'd learned about the death of Mr. Prospector. He died at the ripe old age of 29 after getting over 40 mares in foal for the year. That is hard to believe. Most studs get pensioned before the age of 25, if they ever live to be that age. But not Mr. Prospector. He was still going strong right up until his death. He was a great racehorse, and has proven himself to be a great sire. The racing industry will miss this great champion. And,...so will we all."
