One of the owners of the racehorse "Hard Spun", was in town to race his horse at the Belmont Stakes on Saturday June 9th. "Hard Spun" placed 2nd at the Kentucky Derby earlier this year and 3rd at the Preakness. He finished in 4th place at Belmont.

While attending the Garden City Belmont Festival and street fair, "Hard Spuns" owner stopped by Sunflower Fine Art, on 7th street, and purchased a beautiful oil painting of a thoroughbred horse by local artist George Mamos. He said he loved the mood expressed in the painting and looked forward to adding it to his collection.

Mr. Mamos, a member of Oil Painters of America, has exhibited his paintings nationally and his portraits grace the walls of lovely homes from Westchester to the Hamptons. His work is represented locally by Sunflower Fine Art; who is in the process of publishing an affordable series of limited edition giclee entitled "Wall Street".
