This is one of three designs by Colin for the French national lottery, which was connected with horse racing in a similar manner to that of the Irish Sweepstakes (i.e. the winner was determined based on the outcome of various horse races). Here, we embrace the true power of the track, as the horse and jockey fly past us in an earth-toned blur.
