Item Details
Description
Richard Stone Reeves (American, 1919-2005)
Bold Venture
Oil on board, 12î x 16î
Signed, inscribed ñBold Ventureî
$8,000. _ 10,000.
The 62nd running of the Kentucky Derby in 1936 started as a ñbold ventureî and was won by a horse of the same name. In the era before starting gates, Churchill starter William Hamilton caught the field in alignment and sent them off. Mayhem ensued with the field stumbling, bumping, and crashing. When the wire was reached, Bold Venture, a horse that had yet to win a stakes and was ridden by an apprentice jockey, beat the favorite, Brevity, by a head. While an upset, it was hardly a fluke as Bold Venture went on to win the Preakness Stakes and sire Kentucky Derby winners Assault and Middleground.
