While he never became a champion, he won important races at 3, 4 and 5. Unfortunately, he was an indifferent sire. Race record 48 starts, 12 wins, 9 seconds, 3 thirds, US$98,990 1927: 2nd Pimlico Futurity (USA, 8FD, Pimlico) 2nd Walden Handicap (USA, 8FD, Pimlico) 1928: Won Travers Midsummer Derby (USA, 10FD, Saratoga) 3rd Maryland Handicap (USA, 10FD, Laurel) 1929: Won Philadelphia Handicap (USA, 8.5FD, Havre de Grace) Won Merchants' and Citizens' Handicap (USA, 9.5FD, Saratoga) Won Metropolitan Handicap (USA, 8FD, Belmont) Won Twin City Handicap (USA, 10FD, Belmont) Won Olambala Handicap (USA, 8FD, Saratoga) 2nd Suburban Handicap (USA, 10FD, Belmont) 2nd Carter Handicap (USA, 7FD, Aqueduct) 3rd Manhattan Handicap (USA, 8FD, Belmont) 1930: Won Suburban Handicap (USA, 10FD, Belmont) Won Baltimore Autumn Handicap (USA, 8F+70fD, Pimlico) 2nd Manhattan Handicap (USA, 8FD, Belmont) 2nd Arlington Gold Cup (USA, 10FD, Arlington Park) Assessments Rated seventh among American 3-year-old males of 1928 by The Blood-Horse. Rated fifth among American older males of 1929 by The Blood-Horse. Rated sixth among American older males of 1930 by The Blood-Horse. As an individual A tough, sound bay horse, Petee-Wrack was game and determined in a drive. He handled off going well. As a stallion According to Jockey Club records, Petee-Wrack sired 93 winners (49.2%) and 7 stakes winners (3.7%) from 189 named foals. He gained some note as a sire of jumpers, getting two winners of the Maryland Hunt Cup and an American Grand National winner. Notable progeny Brother Jones (USA), Columbiana (USA), Peterski (USA), Pine Pep (USA). Connections Petee-Wrack was bred by Belair Stud (William Woodward, Sr.). He was owned by John R. Macomber, who purchased the colt from the 1926 Saratoga yearling sale. Pedigree notes Petee-Wrack is inbred 5x5 to 1873 Derby Stakes winner Doncaster and Rouge Rose through the full sister and brother Rose of Lancaster and Bend Or (assuming that Bend Or was produced from Rouge Rose as officially shown in the General Stud Book; see The Mystery of Bend Or.) He is a half brother to 1930 American Horse of the Year Gallant Fox, English champion 2-year-old male Foxbrough and the good stakes winner Fighting Fox, all by Sir Gallahad III. He is also a half brother to multiple stakes producers Maraschino, Marigal and Marguery, likewise sired by Sir Gallahad III. Petee-Wrack's dam Marguerite is a half sister to the good stakes winner Cloudland (by Wrack) and is out of Fairy Ray (by Radium), a half sister to three English stakes winners. Fun facts Petee-Wrack was the namesake for an allowance purse at the now-defunct Rockingham Park.

Title: Cape Maneuver Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 – 1986) Technique: Oil on canvas mounted on board Dimensions: 19.7 x 23.6 in (50 x 60 cm) Date: Circa 1980s Signature: Signed "Tuser" in the lower left corner Condition: Excellent; thick, vibrant brushwork and vivid colors well preserved. 📝 Description This painting captures a dramatic moment in the bullfight — the classic verónica — as the matador gracefully halts the bull’s charge with a sweeping motion of the cape. The vivid contrast of magentas, blues, and golds intensifies the theatrical tension between man and beast. The composition is dynamic yet controlled, emphasizing the poise of the torero against the raw force of the bull. The expressive brushstrokes and thick impasto enhance the sense of movement, while the abstracted background ensures focus remains on the central figures. The piece is a striking blend of figuration and emotional energy, characteristic of Tuser’s taurine works. 👤 About the Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez José María Tuser Vázquez was a Spanish painter born in Barcelona in 1919. He studied at the Barcelona School of Arts and Crafts and began exhibiting in the 1940s. By 1947, he had fully devoted his career to bullfighting scenes, developing a distinctive figurative expressionist style with impressionist influences. He collaborated with the magazine El Ruedo, creating numerous illustrations and covers, and designed collectible postcards for Editorial Artigas. His work became well-known in Spanish artistic circles and is now part of both private and institutional collections, including the Club Taurino of London. His paintings have been auctioned internationally, reaching up to $3,000 depending on size and subject. His legacy is that of a painter who masterfully captured the emotion, tradition, and drama of the Spanish corrida. 🎨 Similar Artists José María Tuser Vázquez’s work shares thematic and stylistic elements with: Roberto Domingo – A pioneer of bullfighting art...
