  • Rise and Fall of Lexington's Sire Line

    Rise and Fall of Lexington's Sire Line

    June 3, 2006 Rise and fall of Lexington’s sire line by Rommy Faversham No bell will toll. No pronouncements offered. But, at some point, perhaps, in the next few years - if not indeed already - the legendary male line of Lexington will reach unconditional extinction, as the last of its painfully obscure male representatives takes his final breath. This once greatest of all American sire lines did not end with a bang but the most prolonged of whimpers, amassing well over a century of decay and failure. The male line of Lexington was initiated by the importation of his aging paternal great-great grandsire, *Diomed. Winner of the inaugural running of the Epsom Derby in 1780, the enigmatic Diomed was ultimately deemed a failure at stud in England and dispatched to Virginia in 1798. In his definitive text, Racing in America 1665-1865, esteemed Turf historian John Hervey wrote, “the success of [Diomed’s American] get was so immediate, so sweeping, as to blot out all precedent. He was in no long time regarded as the greatest progenitor yet seen”. In explaining this revolutionary shift in Thoroughbred bloodlines, Hervey noted, “the Diomeds exceeded in size and power any previous American family”. Described as a strong 15.3 hands, Diomed often produced offspring even larger than himself. Diomed’s best son, Sir Archy (1805) has been described as America’s first great runner and remains the oldest member of Racing’s Hall of Fame. Sir Archy’s phenomenal career at stud would ultimately earn him the soubriquet of “Godolphin Arabian of America”, which sought to epitomize his influence as well as underscore the saturation of his blood in subsequent generations.
  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)

    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)

    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

Bringing together both subjects and working methods from literary studies, film and cultural studies, medicine and sociology, ‘Representations’ is scholarly and accessible, addressed to researchers across a number of academic disciplines, and prac- titioners and members of the public with interests in issues of public health. The key term in the series will be representations. Public interest in ques- tions of health and disability has never been stronger, and as a consequence cultural forms across a range of media currently produce a never-ending stream of narratives and images that both reflect this interest and generate its forms. The crucial value of the series is that it brings the skilled study of cultural narratives and images to bear on such contemporary medical concerns. It offers and responds to new research paradigms that advance understanding at a scholarly level of the interaction between medicine, culture and society; it also has a strong commitment to public concerns surrounding such issues, and maintains a tone and point of address

    Educator Guide: Robert Colescott

    EDUCATOR GUIDE Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott September 20, 2019 – January 12, 2020 Welcome! Dear Educators, We are delighted to have you join us at the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) for the Robert Colescott Retrospective, on view from September 20 – January 19, 2019. This exhibition features work spanning Colescott’s career, including never before exhibited paintings from his early years. Challenging us to consider our own place within the historical and racial context, Colescott inserts himself as a biographical element into the conversation. Many of the works use characters, such as Aunt Jemima, that encourage a reexamination of historical personas, while leaving space to discuss and compare current trends against historical stereotypes. Many of the works are for a mature audience—there are themes around race and sexuality, as well as nudity and profanity. One section lacks sexual and ideological themes and language (there are abstracted nudes) in order to engage high school visitors with conversations around race, identity and artistic growth. The content of this guide can be used as a framework to prepare you and your students to visit, view some or all of the exhibition, or just use Colescott in classroom discussion and projects. Lesson and discussion suggestions are included, which introduce and explore some of the key themes and ideas of the exhibition. We invite you to explore, create, immerse yourselves, and discover what stories, connections and lessons can be found within these works. While some of the works are too mature for some audiences, others can provide valuable springboards to important conversations.

    LAS VOCES DE LOS CAMPESINOS Francisco Garcia and Pablo and Juanita Saludado sing corridos about the farm workers and their union. Corrido singing is sometimes portrayed as a means by which informal historian-songmakers recount local events. This is one purpose served by the corridos sung on this recording by Francisco Garcia, Pablo Saludado, and Juanita Saludado. But documenting memorable happenings is not the sole motivation or reason for composing and singing such narrative songs. Francisco, Pablo, and Juanita engage in these activities because they enjoy singing, playing instruments, and performing at community gatherings. Singing provides a means for them to exhibit their skills as musicians and allows their audiences to respond to their artistry as well as to the events their songs recount and stimulate one to recollect. Ballad singing is frequently associated with rural peoples considered to be culturally conservative, isolated, and homogeneous.1 Such a conception is unsuitable for an understanding of the corridos on this recording. Delano and Earlimart, California--where Francisco, Pablo, and Juanita live--do not conform to the stereotypic "ballad community." Both towns depend on highly industrialized, large-scale agricultural operations that are the antithesis of the independent, self-sufficient farms of some rural communities. Thirty years ago, Walter Goldschmidt commented, in a study of three neighboring towns in California's southern San Joaquin Valley: "From industrialized sowing of the soil is reaped an urbanized rural society."2 In a similar manner, Carey McWilliams characterized California's mechanized agriculture as "factories in the fields" which share many of the attributes and problems of urban industries that require large labor forces.3 The conflict between growers and farm workers is rooted historically in the growth and mechanization of agriculture in California.
