This limited edition print, "Riders Up East", was created
from ten original oil paintings. The artist painted ten of the leading
riders who ride almost exclusively on the eastern race tracks. The
background of each image celebrates the end of the millennium in the
paddock at the Saratoga Racetrack in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Mr. Martinez regrets that he could not include all of the many champion
race riders. A former jockey himself, he recognizes that there are so
many who have and will guide the thoroughbred racehorses onto the
winner's circle.
There were only 650 signed and numbered prints and 50 artist proofs
published. Currently, there are less than 250 prints available,
including 43 artist proofs. The overall image size is 24 X 35 and is
printed on Acid Free paper with fade resistant ink. Each comes complete
with an affidavit of limited edition and a list of the rider's silks (as
pictured below).
