Hoyeau attributes the rise of Arqana=s yearling sales to the improving quality of mares in France, which is likely a reflection of the country=s generous prize money and owners= and breeders= premiums. Last year, more than i118 million was distributed in prize money for 4,887 flat races in France. Across the English Channel in the UK, about ,62 million was awarded for 6,107 flat races. Maiden and conditions races for 2- and 3-year-olds are worth a minimum of i14,000--and up to i57,000--in France, while listed races for the same age bracket offer between i52,000 and i55,000. Handicaps start at i16,000, and go all the way up to i70,000. These figures do not reflect the lucrative owners= and breeders= premiums on offer in the country. Owners of French-bred horses earn 64% of purses back for 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds, and 43% for 5-year-olds and upward. Dual Classic winner Avenir Certain=s owners, for instance, have banked premiums of i555,539 through the filly=s first five starts. Add on her prize money earnings of i868,030, and her connections have collected over i1.4 million for the filly they plucked out of the Arqana ring for i45,000 less than two years ago.

  • Vaimalama Chaves, Miss France
    Starfish Collection Jewelry inspired by nature hinerava.com . [email protected] . +(689) 40 83 52 22 Éditorial Votre magazine Reva Tahiti a l’habitude de vous proposer les portraits de personnalités exceptionnelles de par leur parcours, leurs valeurs, leur caractère exemplaire ou inspirant, afin de vous permettre de mieux appréhender l’essence même de l’âme polynésienne. Et l’on pouvait difficilement rêver destinée plus inspirante dans l’actualité récente de nos îles que celle de Vaimalama Chaves, jeune beauté de 24 ans, qui a rempli les Polynésiens de fierté le 15 décembre 2018 en devenant, quelques mois après son élection en tant que Miss Tahiti, Miss France. Partie à la conquête d’un destin, Vaimalama Chaves revient dans nos pages sur son expérience afin de la partager avec ceux qui sont sensibles à tout ce que notre Fenua peut apporter à ce monde. Reva Tahiti a d’ailleurs saisi l’occasion de revenir plus largement sur l’histoire de nos ambassadrices de la Polynésie, à travers un article qui retrace les destinées de nos Miss Tahiti, un come-back de 60 ans célébrant la beauté des vahinés… Malgré cette réjouissante actualité, nous n’en avons pas oublié pour autant de rendre hommage à nos illustres tupuna, les anciens, qui ont inscrit l’histoire de la Polynésie en lettres d’or au cœur de celle de l’Humanité. Au sommaire de ce numéro, vous trouverez donc un portrait de Tupaia, homme remarquable s’il en fût, aquarelliste, cartographe et surtout navigateur polynésien, né vers 1725 à Raiatea, dont la science de la navigation fut mise à profit par le capitaine Cook durant ses expéditions dans nos îles à bord du Endeavour.

  • If You're Lucky Enough to Be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St
    ICA Theme Profile If You're Lucky Enough to be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Created by: Richard Mullins Working intensity: moderate to very hard Length: 50 minutes Concept Behind the Profile Ireland has a population of 5 million people, but 70 million people call it home. We are the friendly Irish and we are the fighting Irish! I’ve picked several key moments in Irish culture that got Ireland noticed across the world and tied them into working intervals of varying duration. The terrain of Ireland is constantly changing, so be prepared for terrain that could always shift under your feet! The scope of this profile is to work below threshold, then at threshold, and finally give riders the option to work above threshold. When you ask a tourist about Ireland or if you think about how Ireland is perceived outside of our small isle, we are, in many cases, associated with the colour green, Guinness, and anything else that fits a stereotype. All one has to do is look at any tourist T-shirt! Let’s think beyond these stereotypes; Ireland has thrown herself into the world arena many times over the last few years (and before that) in the areas of dance, film, music, economics, and politics. These pivotal moments have slowly changed how we are perceived in the world. As the ride begins, I do like to mention a few quotes that various film and TV characters around the world have referenced about Ireland to lighten the mood. I will include some at the very end of this profile.
