As the starting gate is released, a group of magnificent greyhounds burst forth with unmatched grace and agility. Their sleek bodies are captured mid-air as they propel themselves towards victory. Derby Lane, home to the historic St. Petersburg Kennel Club and recognized as the world's oldest greyhound track, serves as the backdrop for this thrilling moment. This iconic venue has long been revered as one of Sunshine City's major sports attractions. The lithographic technique employed in this print adds depth and vibrancy to every detail - from each strand of fur on these remarkable canines to their intense focus on seizing triumph.
