Offered here is number #221 out of only 1,500 American Artist plates by Fred Stone. This is signed by Hall of Fame Jockey Eddie Arcaro and the artist Fred Stone in gold on the front of the plate.
Eddie Arcaro was known as "The Master" in horse racing. He is best known for his magnificent handling of Kelso. They took 12 of their 14 starts together, twice setting a track record and twice equaling a track record. “I believe Kelso was the best horse I ever rode,” Arcaro once said. “He was Horse of the Year five straight years (1960-64), and that takes a lot of doing. And he hooked everybody, every place, on every kind of racetrack. He just was the best horse. Sprint, go a distance, run all day. He could do it all.” Just like his rider.
