Rachel Alexandra: The Woodward — Original Painting | 36″ × 36″

A portrait of courage, determination and one unforgettable moment in racing history.

In the 2009 Woodward Stakes at Saratoga, three-year-old Rachel Alexandra faced older male horses for the first time—and became the first female ever to win the prestigious race. With jockey Calvin Borel urging her forward, she held off Macho Again in a thrilling finish that secured her place among racing’s greatest champions.

This original 36″ × 36″ painting captures the intensity of that historic performance in a dramatic palette of black, white and silver. Expressive brushwork and hand-applied silver leaf bring movement and light to the composition, echoing the energy of the track and Rachel Alexandra’s extraordinary spirit.

Powerful from across the room and richly detailed up close, this one-of-a-kind piece is designed to make a statement in a home, office or equestrian collection.
