Oil on board, 9" x 12" each

Provenance: The Estate of Florence Menasco Bred in Florida by Joseph M. O'Farrell at his Ocala Stud, Desert Trial was sold for $12,000 at the 1965 Hialeah sales of Florida-bred 2-year-olds to Muriel Vanderbilt Adams. Desert Trial went on to a very successful race career for Mrs. Adams, winning 11 of 31 starts, including the Del Mar Oaks and Ramona Handicap at 3. As a 4-yearold she was ranked amongst the top four older fillies and mares after winning five major stakes, including the Hollywood Ladies Handicap, the Milady Handicap, and a second Ramona Handicap. Mrs. Adams was noted for the genuine affection she had for her horses and sadly she passed away before seeing Desert Trial's daughter Desert Vixen become a multiple U.S. champion.
