During this period of time, I contributed both the May and June covers of American Turf Monthly, including creating the design on the left highlighting the famous facade of Churchill Downs superimposed with a view of last year's Kentucky Derby start. Deputy Minister lead the way for eventual, Ky. Derby winner, Barbaro, pink saddle cloth, and #6 is his stable mate, Showing Up, who ran 6th in the derby but also was the eventual winner of the Arlington Secretariat Stakes and the Hollywood Park Derby.

The image on the right is my 85th cover image on this magazine.
