Fred Stone collector plate - Eternal Legacy

Description

Fred Stone,
“Eternal Legacy” collectors plate
“This year, somewhere, in a dimly lit box stall, with the spring wind heaving outside, will be born a champion-a great sprinter to smash through the Hopeful and Futurity: a classic three-year-old to wear flowered blankets at Churchill Downs and Pimlico: a great weight-carrying stayer to sweep down the stretch in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Maybe this is he. Perhaps this trembling little creature may have his hour in the stretch of the Belmont Stakes. Or maybe the hope surrounding him at birth will ingloriously expire in a ,000 claiming race at Fairmont Park. But by then there will be other crops of foals around which to build new hopes. Not until earth’s last race is run, and the official sign hung up, will breeders cease to hope that this time they have the super-horse.”
