Illustration Friday—Jump
May 2, 2012
The Kentucky Derby, where man pushes beast to “jump” hooves through hoops, is upon us. I’m not a fan for so many reasons, but Friday is the Oaks, which is a race only for fillies and spectators are encouraged to wear pink to save the ta-tas. This one’s for the girls both horse and rider because fast girls do it in pink, wearing heels, donning hats, shrouded in flowers.
And go Oaks Lily—At 50 to 1 with silks of pink, you’re my girl! Stay safe!

Nothing Worth Stealing 
Love it!
I agree with your sentiment on jumps racing, love your art though 🙂
I love this!! My husband grew up not far from Churchill Downs, so Derby parties are a tradition with us. But I share your views on the sport itself. I say we let the horses trot around the track at a leisurely pace while we all sip juleps and eat Derby pie!
Love it! I am with you on the sport…although watching horses run all out in their pastures is magical.
Nicely done! I am not sure I would call that an appropriate outfit for racing, but it is terribly stylish!
Not a big fan of the races or steeplechase but the ROLEX in Kentucky!!!!!! Talk about gifted horse and rider skilled in Dressage, Show Jumping and a Cross Country course at full gallop with dressy hurdles along that way. That is a nail biter….and no one ever bets on those beauties. I love this P, as you surely know I will. Go filly go, and ‘stay safe indeed.’
Perfect!!!
Love it! The shoes are fabulous! And I, too, will be hoping they all finish the race in good health – both the fillies today, & the colts tomorrow!
