COSEQUIN PRESENTS AFTERCARE SPOTLIGHT: ARTIST EQUINES HELP RETIRED RACEHORSES by Jen Roytz Courtesy Paulickreport.Com COSEQUIN PRESENTS AFTERCARE SPOTLIGHT: ARTIST EQUINES HELP RETIRED RACEHORSES by Jen Roytz Courtesy PaulickReport.com American Pharoah's Moneigh creation If you're looking for a unique gift for that horse-lover on your list this year, why not get something that helps you give back while gifting forward? Started by ReRun founders Lori Nagle and Shon Wylie in 2002 to raise money for their aftercare organization, the Moneigh portrait collection has become one of the most recognizable and creative fundraising ideas for the Thoroughbred industry and a go-to source of collectibles for avid fans of racing. Now in its 13th year, the Moneigh program is bi-coastal, spearheaded by ReRun on the East Coast and After the Finish Line in California. Volunteers and supporters from both organizations have partnered with owners and trainers of some of the biggest names in racing to create one-of- a-kind works of art painted by the celebrities themselves – the horses. Once again and just in time for the holiday season, the newest round of Moneighs have been unveiled and are available for purchase in the ReRun Shop on eBay. “In the beginning of this year I contacted Lisa Molloy at ReRun,” said Dawn Mellon, founder of After the Finish Line. “I told her, ‘You don't have any volunteers that paint Moneighs with our wonderful West Coast horses. We can partner and I will paint with the horses in California that are currently racing and those on the breeding farms.'” That new partnership has resulted in several notable portraits, including those created by Triple Crown winner American Pharoah and last year's Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome. More than 200 original works of art have been created for the Moneigh collection over the years, with originals bringing hundreds, if not thousands, at auction. Prints of the portraits are sold on eBay to raise money to support the care and rehabilitation of retired racehorses through ReRun and After the Finish Line. This year alone, the Moneigh series has raised more than $52,000. “Moneighs have always been a unique and easily identifiable characteristic of the ReRun Thoroughbred Adoption program and provides us with the resources needed to assist horses that are accepted into the program with no other means of financial support,' said ReRun Executive Director Lisa Molloy. “When called upon when a horse is in need, we have the funding generated by some of racing's all-time greats to provide for those that have not been so fortunate on their way to retirement.” To create the Moneighs, volunteers from ReRun and After the Finish Line request permission from the connections of notable horses to schedule a time for the horse, with the help of his or her handlers, to paint their original masterpiece. Watercolor paint is used, often in the colors of the horse's or farm's silks. Horses “paint” the Moneighs with their noses or by holding a paint brush in their teeth, and a stamp of their hoof is also incorporated. The original Moneighs also include a lock of the horse's hair and are often signed by the horse's connections. “We are grateful to all the trainers and owners who have been extremely supportive of our efforts to paint Moneighs with their horses to raise money for the OTTBs,” said Dawn. “It's such a joy to paint with these magnificent racehorses. Being with them in their barn allows me to see their personality that the fans don't always see in the paddock or on the racetrack.” ReRun also offers other items featuring Moneigh artwork, including packaged note cards, which are also available in its eBay store. Moneigh print orders can still be submitted now to arrive before Christmas. “Our latest holiday auction is a testament to the support of the farms and trainers that made their horses available to us,” added Lisa. “This gesture is their way of giving back – one action benefitting many.” To shop the Moneigh offerings available in time for Christmas delivery, go tohttp://stores.ebay.com/The-ReRun-Shop. ReRun, Inc. Recently relocated to upstate New York, ReRun is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that takes in and retrains retired racehorses and adopts them out to approved homes across the country for use as show horses, field hunters, police mounts, polo ponies and more.

  • Jockey Silks[2]
    RACING SILKS A MULTI- DISCIPLINARY LESSON ON DESIGN FOR K – 12TH WHAT ARE RACING SILKS? Silks are the uniform that a jockey wears during a race. The colorful jackets help the race commentator and the fans identify the horses on the track. WHO DECIDES WHAT THE SILKS LOOK LIKE? • The horse owner designs the silks. • Jockeys change their silks each race to reflect the owner of the horse they will be riding. • When you see two of the same silks in one race, that means that both of the horses belong to the same owner. • Each silks design is registered with the Jockey Club so that no two owners have the same silks. This ensures that each design is unique. A FEW JOCKEY CLUB DESIGN RULES • It costs $100 per year to register your silks. You must renew the registration annually. Colors are renewable on December 31st of the year they are registered. • Front and back of silks must be identical, except for the seam design. • Navy blue is NOT an available color. • A maximum of two colors is allowed on the jacket and two on the sleeves for a maximum of four colors. • You may have an acceptable emblem or up to three initials on the ball, yoke, circle or braces design. You may have one initial on the opposite shoulder of the sash, box frame or diamond design. COLORS AND PATTERNS Silks can be made up of a wide variety of colors and shapes, with patterns like circles, stars, squares, and triangles. We know colors and patterns mean things, and sometimes horse owners draw inspirations for their design from their childhood, surroundings, favorite things, and careers.

When it comes to Europe=s top 2-year-old sprints in the summer, the female of the species often proves deadlier than the male. For example, the G2 Prix Robert Papin has fallen to fillies in seven of the last 12 years, with three of those winning fillies going on to Classic success at three. Last Sunday saw La Collina become the third filly in the last eight years to take the G1 Phoenix S. As one of her predecessors, Saoirse Abu, went on to take the G1 Moyglare Stud S. and to finish a close third in the 1000 Guineas, La Collina has to be considered a very bright prospect. However, she was by no means the only potentially top-class juvenile filly on display in Europe last week. I hesitate to suggest that Discourse could become another Zenyatta for Street Cry, but this Godolphin filly possesses bags of scope and plenty of talent, as she showed with her impressive victory in the G3 Sweet Solera S.

These essays explore early modern writers using a broad range of approaches and methodologies. Topics covered include: contextualizing the self; female discursive strategies; religious discourses and gender; writing a female space; negotiating power and desire; female writing and the marketplace/publishing; and revisions of male-dominated poetic conventions and traditions. • Nichola Baechle, Aesthetic Response and Traditional Social Valuation in Euripides’ ‘Electra’: Tragic Kunstsprache and the kharakter of Heroes” (Berlin: De Gruyter, 2020). (Classical Studies) Euripides’ Electra thematizes and analyzes the appeal of tragic Kunstsprache: for his audience, it reflected traditional aristocratically-inflected assumptions about the continuity of appearance and substance, even in a radical democracy. An analogy between social appearances and aesthetic evaluation is played out and problematized: social appearances made clear the virtues and agency of the well-born just as aesthetic “appearances” indicated heroic character and agency. • Dominique Battles, “The Middle English Athelston and 1381, Part I: The Politics of Anglo-Saxon Identity,” Studies in Philology 117/1 (2020): 1-39.
