Kentucky Derby 136

This is Derby Week which leads up to the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. The Derby is locally billed as "the greatest two minutes in sports". However the actual two minutes are preceded by two weeks of Derby Festival events that includes all types of activities from the largest fireworks display in the U.S. to the great Steamboat race. In celebration I made a Derby flag. The horse image is Secretariat, probably the greatest thoroughbred ever. I drew the horseshoe and it was colored a pretty golden color until the drenching rain proved one of my magic markers not to be a permanent marker. Anyhow, we will leave the flag up until after the Derby.
