Charles Fazzino’s pop art tribute to Victor Espinoza’s historical trifecta aboard the legendary American Pharoah in 2015. For the first time in 37 years Espinoza and American Pharoah scored victories in three consecutive Triple Crown races….The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and The Belmont Stakes.

“Victor’s run to history with American Pharoah was nothing short of inspirational,” said Charles Fazzino. “Having created artwork for three previous Belmont Stakes, this piece was just a natural fit for me. I hope I’ve captured the sheer excitement and the significance of one of the most important moments in horse racing history. Congratulations Victor!”
