Citation and his jockey, Eddie Arcaro, are the pair pictured here, a partnership that drew wide attention in 1948. That year Arcaro rode the colt to victories in the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, a sweep of the Triple Crown that only a small number of horses had achieved. The print's record credits photographer C.C. Cook with the copyright, and its date of November 19, 1948, is noted as coming from an older caption card that has not been verified.
