Where all the action begins. Through the starting gate’s green padded enclosures you can see the horses and jockeys maneuver into position. Also visible in the distance is the famous roofline of Saratoga’s clubhouse and grandstands.
The original artwork is hand-cut rubylith stencils; this is the only horizontal poster in The Colors of Racing series. Previously thought to be out of print, a recent discovery of a number of these posters in private storage has made them available once again.
