The Front Runner

Artist: Kim Ratigan

In horse racing, the Front Runner is a horse who takes the lead at the start of the race and maintains that lead until crossing the finish line. "The Front Runner," which placed first in a national "Art of Horse Racing" competition, captures the thrilling run down the home stretch, at precisely that moment when the winning jockey glances back to check on his closest competitor. Horse racing is an ancient sport that began in 4500 BC among the nomadic tribesmen of Central Asia, who first domesticated the horse. Often referred to as "The Sport of Kings," it is the second only to baseball as America's most popular spectator sport.
