My Songbird Drawing from March of 2016, at the time she was undefeated in six starts.
Songbird on my Bardsley Equine Art Business Cards
I have joked for over a year about Songbird being my "Horse Crush" There was no way I was going to miss her running in the Delaware Hadicap.
Songbird on the Track, heading to the Paddock area
Throughout the under-card leading up to the running of the Delaware Handicap, I had gone back and forth during every race, from the track, through the casino to the paddock area, to the walking ring, to the paddock exit to the track, back through the casino, and down to Winners Circle. All of these test runs, were so that I could follow Songbird though all of the stages of the race when it happened.
