Congratulations ~ Bruce Fratto BHS '78

Bruce wrote saying: "I had a bit of good fortune this past year. Out of 12,000 images from 13 pro's they chose my shot as the "Offical Poster of the 2006 Kentucky Derby". The winning shot has Barbaro with all 4's in the air, the jockey pumping his hand for the win along with the grandstand and famous spires in the background."
