    TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2019 WES CHAMPAGNE: FARRIER TO THE STARS PEDIGREE INSIGHTS: by Dan Ross FINAL CROP OF ARCH No foot, no horse--an adage that's as true now as when the world's first plough-horse was sidelined with a stone bruise. And IS ON THE MARCH while that same adage could be repurposed for almost any part of the horse's anatomy, it's the foot that bears the load. The hero's yoke. Of all the farriers around the nation's backstretches toiling away on those four surprisingly delicate parts of the racehorse, few have been as highly sought-after for as long as Wes Champagne. Nearly 40 years ago, Champagne was an exercise rider who, too big to follow in the boots of his jockey father, went to blacksmith school near Sacramento. Forty years later, he boasts a client list that started early on with Laz Barrera and never dipped in quality thereafter. Trainers like Charlie Whittingham, Bobby Frankel, Neil Drysdale, Richard Mandella, Bob Baffert, John Sadler.

  • 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.

  • Kentucky Derby
    The Legacy and Traditions of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby The Kentucky Derby The Kentucky Derby has taken place annually in Louis- ville, Kentucky since 1875. It was started by Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. at his track he called Churchill Downs, and it has run continuously since that first race. This first jewel of the Triple Crown has produced famous winners, with thirteen of these winners gaining that Triple Crown title. Lewis limited the Derby to only 3-year old horses. The race has evolved and grown over time and has changed since its first running, remaining an important event for more than a century. Through the study of the Derby’s influential historic traditions, notable winners and horse farms in Kentucky, and its profound cultural TABLE OF CONTENTS impact, this program will identify and explore these dif- Background and History…..2 ferent aspects that all contribute to the excitement and legacy of the “most exciting two minutes in sports.” Curriculum Standards…..3 Traditions ................ 4-8 Triple Crown ............ 9 Derby Winners ........ 10-11 Notable Horse Farms….12-13 Significant Figures…...15 Bibliography………….16 Image list…………….17-18 Derby Activities…….19-22 To replicate the races he witnessed in Europe, Meri- wether Lewis Clark Jr., the grandson of explorer Wil- liam Clark, created three races in the United States that resembled those he’d attended in Europe.
