Carole Fitton (contemporary) SHADOW OF THE POST signed & dated verso and titled on a label, pastel pencils on pastel paper 21.5 by 20cm., 8 1/2 by 8in. This work is based on the finish of the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in 1999. Cape Cross ridden by Gary Stevens in the Godolphin blue colours had been headed by the Michael Hills ridden Docksider approaching the 2 furlong pole, but the American jockey rejuvenated his charge to regain the lead in the final 100 yards and was then all out to maintain the advantage right until the shadow of the post.
