Seabiscuit Races Again at Remington Carriage Museum Life Size Bronze of Famous Racehorse and Alberta Jockey George Woolf Unveiled July 16, 2010 Seabiscuit races again at Remington Carriage Museum Life size bronze of famous racehorse and Alberta jockey George Woolf unveiled Cardston... “So Long, Charley!” is the name of the statue depicting Cardston hero George Woolf riding Seabiscuit to victory in the riveting 1938 race against War Admiral. The statue will be unveiled Saturday, July 17, at the Remington Carriage Museum in honour of what would have been Woolf’s 100th birthday. Two Albertans, Woolf and Seabiscuit’s other principal jockey, Edmonton native Red Pollard, rose to instant world-wide fame with the surprise win in the “Match of the Century.” The $150,000 statue was commissioned and donated to the Province of Alberta by Cardston ranchers Jack and Ida Lowe. It will stand outside the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston, a provincial facility that houses the largest collection of horse-drawn vehicles in North America. The statue will strengthen the museum visitor experience by celebrating a thrilling chapter in horse racing history and the supreme achievement of an Alberta horseman. “This statue captures an incredible moment of unexpected triumph in a story that many people do not realize has a strong Alberta connection,” said Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Culture and Community Spirit. “On behalf of the Government of Alberta, I would like to thank Jack and Ida Lowe for their generous donation and strong commitment to showcasing Alberta’s rich history.” Created by Lethbridge artist Don Toney, the statue depicts the moment when Woolf called out “So long, Charley!” to War Admiral’s jockey Charley Kurtsinger as Seabiscuit surged to the lead at Maryland’s Pimlico Race Course, ultimately winning by four lengths and setting a new track record. “When I was a kid growing up in the 1930s, George and Seabiscuit were household names,” said the statue’s co-donor Jack Lowe. “I always felt George needed recognition for what he did, to come from nothing and achieve so much, and that’s what we hope to accomplish with this statue. The bronze is a beautiful piece of work and I think people are going to be in awe when they see it.” Backgrounder: Additional information on Seabiscuit and the Remington Carriage Museum.

July 16, 2010 “Match of the Century” - the story of Seabiscuit and George Woolf Not everyone believed it would be the “Match of the Century.” Though Albertan George Woolf was one of the leading jockeys on the American horse racing scene in 1938, War Admiral was the prohibitive favourite. War Admiral’s jockey, Charley Kurtsinger, openly derided Seabiscuit’s chances: “I don’t care if Woolf elects to try and make a race of it. The Admiral will beat him in any part of it.” But Woolf and Seabiscuit’s trainer Tom Smith had other ideas. Literally under the cover of darkness, Woolf and Smith trained Seabiscuit to respond to the starting bell with a burst of speed. Seabiscuit’s other principal jockey was also an Albertan. Red Pollard, from Edmonton (played by Tobey Maguire in the 2003 film Seabiscuit), was sidelined with injuries received in a riding accident. From his hospital bed, Pollard advised Woolf to take the lead but to allow War Admiral to catch up before the homestretch and look Seabiscuit in the eye. The result, he predicted, would be explosive. On race day Seabiscuit bolted to an early lead around the first turn, but War Admiral steadily closed the gap down the backstretch. The horses kept pace like a team in harness until they rounded the homestretch turn, where Woolf held Seabiscuit back just enough to allow War Admiral to indeed look him in the eye. As predicted, Seabiscuit surged ahead, prompting Woolf to look over his right shoulder at Kurtsinger and shout, “So long, Charley!” War Admiral ran his best time ever at the distance, but lost to Seabiscuit’s track-record time by four full lengths. That evening, Seabiscuit was named 1938’s American Horse of the Year. As a jockey, George Woolf had the highest winning percentage in American racing history. He was considered by many to be the best jockey who ever lived. He died suddenly at age 35 in 1946. Remington Carriage Museum Operated by Alberta Culture and Community Spirit, the Remington Carriage Museum houses the largest on-display collection of horse-drawn vehicles in North America. Based on the private collection of Cardston native Don Remington, the museum’s 240-plus vehicles allow visitors to experience the lifestyle of Alberta before the reign of the automobile. The museum features a fire hall, carriage factory, restoration shop, working stable, restaurant and gift shop. Carriage rides and rentals are available. The Remington Carriage Museum is located in Cardston and is open year round. Summer hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week through to September 14. Admission is $9 for adults, $22 for a family (two adults and their children under the ages of 18) and $5 for youth (ages 7-17). Children six and under are admitted free.

  • $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU
    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.

As film critic after film critic stumbled over Screenwriter’s Monthly can be found themselves to call his performance everything from "original" to at the following fine locations: "eccentric," they forgot one thing: the screenwriters, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who did one heck of a job creating Sparrow on paper first.

  • A Theological Reading of the Gideon-Abimelech Narrative
    YAHWEH vERsus BAALISM A THEOLOGICAL READING OF THE GIDEON-ABIMELECH NARRATIVE WOLFGANG BLUEDORN A thesis submitted to Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities April 1999 ABSTRACT This study attemptsto describethe contribution of the Abimelech narrative for the theologyof Judges.It is claimedthat the Gideonnarrative and the Abimelechnarrative need to be viewed as one narrative that focuseson the demonstrationof YHWH'S superiority over Baalism, and that the deliverance from the Midianites in the Gideon narrative, Abimelech's kingship, and the theme of retribution in the Abimelech narrative serve as the tangible matter by which the abstracttheological theme becomesnarratable. The introduction to the Gideon narrative, which focuses on Israel's idolatry in a previously unparalleled way in Judges,anticipates a theological narrative to demonstrate that YHWH is god. YHwH's prophet defines the general theological background and theme for the narrative by accusing Israel of having abandonedYHwH despite his deeds in their history and having worshipped foreign gods instead. YHWH calls Gideon to demolish the idolatrous objects of Baalism in response, so that Baalism becomes an example of any idolatrous cult. Joash as the representativeof Baalism specifies the defined theme by proposing that whichever god demonstrateshis divine power shall be recognised as god. The following episodesof the battle against the Midianites contrast Gideon's inadequateresources with his selfish attempt to be honoured for the victory, assignthe victory to YHWH,who remains in control and who thus demonstrateshis divine power, and show that Baal is not presentin the narrative.

  • A Film Analysis: Seabiscuit: an American Legend
    Suzanne Gehring Film and Culture 1010 Marty Nabham November 24, 2008 A Film Analysis: Seabiscuit: An American Legend “If your dream was big enough and you had the guts to follow it, there was truly a fortune to be made.” - David McCullough Through literal and symbolic representation, the film Seabiscuit portrays an ongoing theme of hope in times of struggle. The movie is time-specific to the Great Depression and is a story of a few broken-down people and an equally broken-down horse who join forces in order to overcome the odds with hope. On a wider scope, such hope is symbolic of a hope that Americans searched for in order to survive during a pivotal time of devastation. The film uniquely represents the events of the era through a documentary style which consistently is in direct correlation with the main storyline throughout the movie. Specific examples of devastation on a smaller scope in the film include Charles Howard‟s (played by Jeff Bridges) loss of family through the death of his son; Red Pollard‟s (played by Tobey Maguire) suggested abandonment by his family and, later, his injury while riding; Seabiscuit‟s injury while racing, all of which are representations of overcoming the odds through hope as each of these situations are resolved. Throughout each situation, the existence of hope is suggested through the unlikely relationships between each of these characters. Specifically, the character of Tom Smith (played by Chris Cooper) is suggested to be the „glue‟ which holds each of these relationships together, as he is, in a way, the person to form each relationship.
