Description:
My 88-year-old dad has the most amazing picks every day when we watch horse racing. Time and time again, I watch his selections hit the board. When the Sporting Art Auction catalog arrived from Cross Gate Gallery, I sat him down with a stack of post it notes and asked him for his “paddock picks.” For over an hour, his palsied hands turned each page slowly as he leaned forward and studied the magnificent selection of paintings, etchings, watercolors and sculptures. Dad is not from the generation that would squander an entire post it note to mark a page in a book.
