so in order for me to be a good agent I just have to sell myself as a decent rider What’s the best thing about not being an apprentice anymore?SH: It’s like you get the monkey off your back – especially when you get down to one or two more wins you’re just waiting for it to happen and wondering what it’s going to be like A lot of people struggle when they lose the "bug" (apprentice weight allowance) but I was able to keep getting good opportunities and do well so that solidified my confidence.What makes this profession joyful for you?SM: Being around the horses I started riding Quarter Horses for my father in Venezuela when I was 11 and I don’t feel 100 percent myself if I’m not around horses even when I have problems.SH: Seeing horses improve seeing myself improve and making the trainers happy knowing I gave the horse the best shot I possibly could and did the best job I possibly could … and seeing them go through the whole process and get better What goals are you guys taking with you this summer?SM: Since I started at Monmouth Park in 2022 my dream has been to be leading rider there Staying healthy is the most important thing.SH: Just to keep the ball rolling I did better this meet than I did last summer at Belterra so I want to keep heading in that direction industry leaders and American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) call for commonsense immigration solutions to sustain the workforce behind Kentucky Derby and beyond Dear Reader,Unfortunately our comment platform isn\'t available at the moment due to issues with our paywall and authentication vendor A crash that killed four teens in west Marin — after their SUV veered off the road to avoid an oncoming car according to a survivor — has left families grieving on both sides of the county line Lea el artículo en español aquí.

Composer Julia Wolfe's Her Story is a large-scale work that incorporates real-life letters and speeches from the fight for women's equality A letter from future first lady Abigail Adams to her husband, John Adams, in 1776 includes the line, "Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could." This message is interpolated into Wolfe's work shouted from the stage by the 10 women of the Lorelei Ensemble NPR's Scott Simon joined Alsop at the Kennedy Center during rehearsals to talk about changes at the revered institution and the power of Wolfe's music This interview has been edited for length and clarity To hear the broadcast version of this conversation click the audio player at the top of this page Scott Simon: You're presenting this work, Julia Wolfe's Her Story, at a time when President Trump has taken over the Kennedy Center and a lot of artists have refused to appear here. Renée Fleming resigned as artistic director Shonda Rhimes has left the Kennedy Center board Why are you going ahead with this performance Marin Alsop: I think it's really important that we remember and celebrate the importance of art in our lives Simon: President Trump said no more drag shows or other anti-American propaganda at the Kennedy Center Alsop: I'm not really privy to sort of everything that's gone on behind the scenes but I know that this is a wonderful orchestra This is a wonderful performing arts center And there shouldn't be any kind of barriers for people But I know that so many board members — previous board members — were incredibly generous And I hope that the president will be equally supportive Simon: Julia Wolfe's work ranges from a letter written by Abigail Adams to a speech by Sojourner Truth Alsop: These are the actual words that these women spoke or wrote And you realize that when Abigail Adams is speaking this in 1776 and she's talking about how men really shouldn't have all the power because they will be tyrants I'm reminded of the time we're living in." And Sojourner Truth was such an icon and "The first woman appointed to lead a major American orchestra." So how much has changed in your industry but I have deep concerns that now that the world seems to be trying to backtrack What are the challenges and special joys of doing that Alsop: This is a piece that features an ensemble of 10 women vocalists there's also a choreography and a direction to the piece So women are always called the "un" word — you know the singers are holding up the signs so that the audience can also see it Simon: Why does the concert reach its climax with Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade Alsop: I was struggling with how I should pair this piece And then I thought about the story of Scheherazade This is the story of a woman who was able to weave stories so that the sultan didn't kill her So it's all about the strength of a single woman and the difference that a single woman can make And I thought that would be a perfect pairing Simon: What would you like to leave in people's minds Alsop: It's really the same thing I hope for at every concert whether they've been moved emotionally or whether they're thinking about women in history and the struggle to find equality Become an NPR sponsor Four teenage girls were killed in Marin County on Friday night after
