Biography
Pierre Bellocq, known to generations of racing fans as “Peb,” was a French-American artist and cartoonist whose humorous drawings became a fixture of American horse racing. Born November 25, 1926, in Bedenac, France, he drew for the Morning Telegraph and the Daily Racing Form for decades, becoming one of the sport’s most recognizable talents. His cartoons captured the characters and comedy of a day at the races, and his work adorned racetracks including Oaklawn. He died November 12, 2026, at the Princeton Medical Center in New Jersey after a brief illness, aged 99 — just thirteen days short of his 100th birthday.
