One of Sue Wingate's earliest commissions was to paint National winner Corbiere on behalf of the Sun/Times Newspaper Group who sponsored the Grand National at the time. A limited edition of prints was produced from the painting and a competition held with the original painting as first prize. The competition was a great success and as a result she later painted a picture of the memorable Derby finish between Secreto and El Gran Senor which was sold as a limited edition of prints through the Telegraph magazine ro raise money for the 'Save The Children Fund'.

Since then Sue has painted some of the greatest horses as well as evocative racing scenes as well as commissions for many at the top of the racing game.
