That caused Full Serrano to miss the 1 1/8-mile California Crown Stakes (G1) Sept "He shed that quickly and trained up good for this race," Sadler said trained by Brittany Russell and ridden by her husband He also received a new jockey in Joel Rosario While Rosario had never before piloted Full Serrano he and Sadler had been a terrific team when the jockey used to ride the Southern California circuit regularly "I cannot thank him enough for everything that he has done for me in my career," Rosario said That included the two collaborating to win the 2018 Breeders' Cup Classic with Accelerate at Churchill Downs Though Rosario now rides in the East most of the year he and Sadler quickly resumed their teamwork with Full Serrano "I just told him the horse was really doing well—he'd had a lot of training and was fit and ready to go," Sadler said "Ride him aggressively into the first turn I thought the tactics would be key with a 14-horse field at Del Mar." Rosario put Full Serrano into the race early. T O Saint Denis  of Japan set the early pace with Full Serrano racing a length behind in second T O Saint Denis was responsible for fractions of :22.30 which as it turned out set the race up for Full Serrano did an amazing job up there," Rosario said Full Serrano took command just past the quarter pole and Domestic Product also came from well back who hit the wire 1 1/2 lengths ahead of Post Time with Domestic Product 2 1/4 lengths back in third Full Serrano ($28.80) stopped the clock in 1:35.48 Full Mast retired to stud at Haras Chenaut in Argentina Won Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere-Grand Criterium (G1) Prix La Rochette (G3); 2nd Prix Paul de Moussac (G3); 3rd Fasig-Tipton Lure S (RT) At 5: Won Big Ass Fans Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) * Statistical data included with this Stakes Recap is compiled though the day of the race (ANS - Vielsalm) - Located in the middle of a forest the Domaine de Farnières is an enchanting place naturally deputed to hospitality Two religious communities - the Salesians of Don Bosco and the "Notre-Dame au Bois" house of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians - reside there and contribute along with their lay collaborators and several volunteers the papal encyclical Laudato Sì cannot but elicit an immediate call to action; and in recent weeks Farnières has experienced a real "ecological transition." Each year 60,000 liters of diesel fuel are needed to heat the halls It has been ten years since the center's managers have been thinking about the future photovoltaic panels were installed (a rare project at the time) that produced 10,000 kW of the 110,000 consumed an even more important new step was taken: the installation of a new biomass heating system for all buildings - a much more environmentally friendly system - and this month the two boilers using wood chips went into operation This is the largest investment made by the house since the major renovation 25 years ago Another operation that testifies to the attention paid to the care of the Common Home had also taken place shortly before when a "tree planting" weekend was held on the grounds of the house more than 1,000 trees and shrubs were planted The goal was to transform the large lawn bordering the left side of the main access path to the center into a welcoming place: small green areas for picnics surrounded by bushes spaces for sharing in small groups bordered by hedges in addition to improving the appearance and functionality of the services offered the safety of the center has also benefited: the hedge planted on the edge of the road leading to the parking lot prevents children from accessing the driveway which can contribute to the food supply of the house in the future And one must also consider the organic and educational apiary which has been under construction for several years and has been delayed due to the health crisis thanks mainly to the contribution of students from the "Don Bosco" school in Verviers - in a process that directly involves young people in the implementation of beneficial projects To learn more about the Farnières center, click here Belgian newspaper “l'avenir” reported on Friday that sheep had been bitten and killed in the woods between La-Roche-en-Ardenne and Vielsalm. The first incident already dates back to the end of August. The affected shepherd told the newspaper that his herd had already been attacked by wild dogs before, however the recent attacks didn't compare. “This animal was hungry,” he explained. “It bit the sheep in the throat and ate the rear parts.” The dead animals were brought to special laboratories in France for further examination. The area where the attacks happened was also searched for traces of wolf-like droppings or fur, however nothing was discovered so far. DNA analysis of the bite marks are made in order to clarify if the attackers were simple wolfhounds or real wolves. Both animals have strong similarities. Only days ago, the response to a parliamentary question in the Walloon regional parliament confirmed that three hunters saw a wolf in Nassogne on October 22. The observation was considered as viable, among other reasons because one of the hunters is a taxidermist and had already prepared a wolf before.

Now they embrace this mixity as a way of practising art brut This stimulates us to continue the project." and react artistically to the same stimuli that we experience They listen to Maître Gims and Michael Jackson We're particularly interested in the filter they use to sieve through daily existence in consumer society it is just that they interpret them slightly differently." also aims to shift our perspective in order to expand our horizons and possibilities "I have always wondered why we should impose norms on people who do not have the required baggage to comply with those norms," Anne-Françoise Rouche says of which a considerable number have a light disability think that 'being normal' is the only way to be accepted by society Part of our work is to show them that they can create a positive identity for themselves and their work outside this so-called 'normality' David Lemoine: "I think our society is ready for a different attitude towards people with disabilities We have reached such a pivotal moment in contemporary art: there is a growing desire for artistic sincerity and spontaneity And that is precisely what this festival provides." when we made fanzines and exhibitions from stuff we found in the bin or that were tucked away in a desk in an institution somewhere who could ever have expected that cultural centres in Brussels would be so enthusiastic and would fight to be part of this story Representations of people with a disability are shifting and evolving in society If we can manage to do that without the usual pathos It is not a coincidence that the poster shows happy disabled people who proudly raise their clenched fists." "When you see The Choolers Division going at it on stage while to them an audience of underground artists trying to be as punk as possible are immediately reduced to being a group of has-beens Their natural way of being in the world deconstructs all the things we try so hard to construct." when I first organised the workshops at La 'S' I realised very quickly that I should shelve my own artistic aspirations because I encountered people who were exploding with talent I could only try to valorise that by focusing on what they can do instead of traveling the same old route and focusing on all the things they are unable or are not allowed to do The realisation that you are not only perceived as being a person with a disability Art is an incredible means to enable them to develop a positive identity."
