Description
My father in law was still very young in the late forties, but was nevertheless one of the assistant trainers of Citation. Later my Father in law went on to win the Kentucky derby himself 3 times as the head trainer. I made this for my wife to honor her father. The tree in the background is on the grounds of the Hialeah race track in Miami and my wife used to play in and on that tree as a child when she accompanied her father to the racetrack.
Citation (April 11, 1945-August 8, 1970) was the eighth American Triple Crown winner, and one of three major North American Thoroughbreds (along with Zenyatta and Cigar) to win at least 16 consecutive races in major stakes race competition. He was the first horse in history to win one million dollars.
