Book Synopsis The Jockey Club Collection by : David Oldrey
Download or read book The Jockey Club Collection written by David Oldrey and published by Philip Wilson Publishers, Limited. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jockey Club's first premises in St James's Street reflected its members' habit of living among racing pictures, but their collective tastes could only be fully indulged after it built a large Coffee Room in Newmarket in 1752 and then multiplied the accommodation in 1771 on the site still occupied today. Over the centuries members have given the Club scores of pictures marking the triumphs of their horses. More have come as bequests of prized possessions and recently a few have been added by purchase. Some of the paintings by Stubbs, Herring, Munnings and others are amongst the best racing art in existence. Many are by lesser artists but taken together as a whole the contents of the Jockey Clubs Rooms are enough to fascinate anyone with even a passing interest in sporting pictures or racing. This catalogue much extends the previous one published in 2006 which was arranged in the order of the Rooms in which paintings were hung; in this new publication works are arranged under the names of their creators with short biographies of the more important artists. There are some 50 additions of which perhaps the most important are life-sized bronze friends for Hyperion, a particularly fine Ferneley, and a portrait of The Queen with her Gold Cup winner, Estimate. The Collection consists of several hundred paintings, prints, bronzes and trophies plus some slightly macabre bits of champions made into all sorts of artefacts, usually mounted feet. Taken together they give an accurate impression of the importance of the Jockey Club's contribution to the development of the thoroughbred, for long the fastest and still the most beautiful way of getting from here to there.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliant and eminently readable cultural history looks at Mexican life during the dictatorship of Porfirio D�az, from 1876 to 1911. At that time Mexico underwent modernization, which produced a fierce struggle between the traditional and the new and exacerbating class antagonisms. In these pages, the noted historian William H. Beezley illuminates many facets of everyday Mexican life lying at the heart of this conflict and change, including sports, storytelling, healthcare, technology, and the traditional Easter-time Judas burnings that became a primary focus of the strife during those years. This second edition features a new preface by the author as well as updated and expanded text, notes, and bibliography.

Book excerpt: Located just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati during the height of 80s punk was the home of the legendary Jockey Club. Nearly every touring punk band made their requisite stop in Newport, Kentucky at the now infamous club owned by Hallman "Shorty" Mincey and his brother, Haynes "Tiny" Mincey. Twenty years after its demolition, the cast of characters affectionately known as "the freak show" share their stories about the bands, the people, and Shorty as they remembered them. Everyone from Joey Shithead of D.O.A. to Eerie Von to the Human Zoo himself, Bevo, contributed in not just conveying the importance of The Jockey Club to the Cincinnati area music scene, but just how much it really meant to the people that were there.

Book Synopsis The Great Black Jockeys by : Edward Hotaling
Download or read book The Great Black Jockeys written by Edward Hotaling and published by Prima Lifestyles. This book was released on 1999 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a century before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball, black athletes were dominating America's first national sport. The sport was horse racing, and the greatest jockeys of all were slaves and the sons of slaves. Cheered by thousands of Americans in the North and South, they rode to victory in all of the major stakes, including the very first Kentucky Derby. Although their glory days ranged from the early 1700s to the turn of the 20th century, the memory of these great black jockeys was erased from history. Who were these athletes and why have their names vanished without a trace? "This may be the most fascinating untold sports story in American history. We are lucky that it is so well told now by Mr. Hotaling in his wonderfully written book." -- Charles Osgood, anchor, CBS News Sunday Morning "The Great Black Jockeys is the first book about the lives and times of the forgotten men whose extraordinary skills were a wonder to behold, men with names like "Honest Ike" Murphy, Abe Hawkins, Willie Simms, Austin Curtis, Jimmy Winkfield, and dozens more. This is also a story of a young country where whole towns turned out in cleared fields to cheer and place wagers on magnificent horses and the men who rode them, and where the greatest athletes in the land were the property of others. For fleeting moments on the racecourse black riders in colorful silks tasted the glory and freedom that slavery had denied them. In "The Great Black Jockeys, the exploits and courage of America's earliest and best athletes are finally remembered.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jockey Club and Its Founders: In Three Periods There is no occasion to refer in detail to the matters which within the last few years have made the Jockey Club an object of unusual interest to the public; but they suggested to me the notion that a favourable opportunity had offered itself for present ing a sketch, historical and biographical, of the Club and its members, its acquisition and exercise of authority, and its principal legislative work, from its foundation to the present day, so that an Opinion may be formed as to how far that Club is entitled.
