One of Corey's most ambitious commercial commissions, The Belmont Breakthrough, was created for the iconic Belmont Park in New York.
Standing approximately 8 feet tall, 10 feet long, and 7 feet deep, this extraordinary wooden sculpture captures the power, speed, and determination of thoroughbred racing.
The design features a powerful racehorse bursting through a swirling vortex of energy, creating the illusion of movement and explosive momentum.
Created from laminated white pine timbers, the sculpture required extensive design planning, structural preparation, precision carving, and specialized transportation.
Corey served as the commissioned artist responsible for bringing this ambitious artistic vision to life.
The project culminated in its September 2026 presentation at Belmont Park, where the sculpture became a striking visual centerpiece and photo opportunity for racing enthusiasts and visitors.
More than a work of art, The Belmont Breakthrough demonstrates the possibilities of large-scale chainsaw sculpture as a destination attraction, brand experience, and architectural statement.
