CSS7 – Race of the Century
$125.00 – $11,370.00
CSS7 – Race of the Century immortalizes one of the most iconic moments in the history of horse racing. The painting captures the exhilarating atmosphere of the 1920s’ landmark race, where the legendary Man O’ War made his mark, earning his place in the annals of racing history. Known as the “Race of the Century,” this extraordinary event offered an incredible purse of $75,000 and a $5,000 solid gold cup — a prize worth nearly $1.5 million in today’s currency.
Held at the Kenilworth Race Track in Windsor, Ontario, this race was a spectacle that drew international attention. Kenilworth’s location just across the border from Michigan, where pari-mutuel betting and alcohol were restricted, made it the perfect venue. The track’s location provided a unique advantage, attracting racegoers from all over North America.
In this masterpiece, Suchiu captures the thrill and grandeur of this historic event, celebrating both the sport and the legendary thoroughbred, Man O’ War. The detailed composition of the scene transports viewers back to that defining moment in time, when Windsor became the epicenter of North American horse racing. Whether you’re a fan of the sport or a lover of history, this print is a timeless tribute to a race that left an indelible mark on the world.
