Magical Spellbinding in the Irish Champion SUNDAY, 15 SEPTEMBER 2019 LOGICIAN DOMINANT IN LEGER VICTORY MAGICAL SPELLBINDING By Tom Frary IN THE IRISH CHAMPION It was all Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in Saturday=s G1 William Hill St Leger at Doncaster as Khalid Abdullah=s homebred made light work of the task to provide his sire with a second British Classic and the first in these silks. Heavily-backed into 5-6 favouritism, the G2 Great Voltigeur S. winner was anchored towards the rear early by a confident Frankie Dettori as the pace proved predictably strong. Angled towards the stand=s side once straightening for home, the grey produced a telling surge to gain command passing the two-furlong pole and his rider was looking around for non-existent dangers in the last furlong. At the line, the unbeaten colt had recorded a new course-record time as he sauntered to a 2 1/4-length success from Sir Ron Priestley (GB) (Australia {GB}), with Nayef Road (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) a head away in third. Frankie was celebrating an astounding 15th Group 1 in 2019 and a sixth St Leger and said, AThere was lots of expectation and Magical draws clear of stablemates Magic Wand and Anthony Van he delivered.

After three gallant second placings to Crystal Ocean (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) and Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) in the G1 Prince of Wales=s S., G1 Eclipse S. and G1 Yorkshire Oaks, Ballydoyle=s female lead was heavily backed into 11-10 favouritism and the confidence proved well-founded. Perfectly positioned in second early by Ryan Moore, she was asked to seal her victory passing two out and was too strong from there as she carved out a 2 1/4-length success, with Magic Wand denying Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by a head for another stable one-two- three in a major prize. Deirdre, who was denied a run in the Logician and Frankie Dettori | racingfotos.com straight, finished strongly down the outer to be a half-length further away. AShe had really come forward from York.

  • Demeritte Adds Glamour to Fasig July
    FRIDAY, JULY 5, 2019 DEMERITTE ADDS ANTONACCI GETS A FLYING START WITH PREFERRED EQUINE by Sue Finley GLAMOUR TO FASIG JULY One of the many positives about Godolphin Flying Start--the two-year international Thoroughbred industry training program devised by Sheikh Mohammed--is that it offers a way into the business for talented young people without pre-existing family or industry connections. If, indeed, that is an unstated goal of the project, it showed that it had hit the mark again with the 2019 graduating class with the revelation that Philip Antonacci, an Ivy League graduate with deep roots in the Standardbred--but not Thoroughbred-- industry, had been hired by Dave Reid at Preferred Equine to fill the role of Director of Sales for its Thoroughbred division. That job is a newly created post for Antonacci, who finishes the course this week.

  • The Cases of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe Dissertation P
    THE MIDDLE EAST IN ANTEBELLUM AMERICA: THE CASES OF RALPH WALDO EMERSON, NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, AND EDGAR ALLAN POE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ahmed Nidal Almansour ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Steven S. Fink, Adviser Professor Jared Gardner _______________________ Professor Elizabeth Hewitt Adviser English Copyright by Ahmed Nidal Almansour 2005 ABSTRACT The presence of the Middle East in the works of American artists between the Revolution and the Civil War is pervasive and considerable. What makes this outlandish element of critical significance is that its proliferation coincided with the emerging American literary identity. The wide spectrum of meanings that was related to it adds even more significance to its critical value. In its theoretical approach, this work uses Raymond Schwab’s The Oriental Renaissance as a ground for all its arguments. It considers the rise of the Oriental movement in America to be a continuation of what had already started of Oriental researches in Europe. Like their counterparts in Europe, the American writers who are selected for this study were genuinely interested in identifying with the Oriental thought. The European mediation, however, should not be allowed to hold any significance other than pointing to the fact that French, German, and English Orientalist organizations were more technically equipped. The sentiment of identification with the East resonated equally on both sides of the Atlantic. This work investigates three cases from antebellum America: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe.
