  • 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.

  • Impressive USA Fightback in Europe in 2016 Cont
    THURSDAY, 29 DECEMBER, 2016 PRELUDE TO A DOHA DERBY IMPRESSIVE USA FIGHTBACK by DaithR Harvey When the opportunity arose for a TDN writer to travel to Doha IN EUROPE IN 2016 to cover the Qatar International Derby Festival, there wasn=t much ruminating from this correspondent=s quarters to put his hand up for the task. Ok, so I was breaking a 20-plus year tradition of attending Leopardstown=s Christmas four-day jump racing extravaganza, but one should never spurn a chance to broaden one=s horizons, so I packed my bag for a whistle-stop maiden voyage to Doha. Al Rayyan Racecourse is part of a large equestrian complex that also plays host to other disciplines such as show-jumping, dressage and Arabian racing. The grandstand enclosure is compact and like most things in Qatar, it radiates a shiny, new feel. The sun was setting by the time the second race was under orders at 5 p.m. local time and as the flood lights kicked in, the crowd amused themselves without the all too familiar distractions of gambling and alcohol. Cont. p5 Tepin | Horsephotos by John Berry The Thoroughbred is a hybrid breed of horse created, if that is IN TDN AMERICA TODAY the right word, in England, albeit partly from various breeds ‘BISCUITS’ A TRUE OVERACHIEVER whose roots lie around the eastern and south-eastern edges of Alan Carasso speaks with Chad Summers, part-owner of Monday’s the Mediterranean.
