"It's somewhere we can go that's not work and not home," said Abby Reckard who bought the church and envisioned Lille Bonne inside the space "It's some place that is comfortable and welcoming where we know people and feel like we have a community." Reckard plans to serve coffee at the cafe while also hosting events such as yoga The 151-year-old building is on the corner of McCarty and Noble Streets, walking distance from Eli Lilly and Company's corporate headquarters. It anchors the Holy Rosary-Danish Church Historic District, which is partially named for the church and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Reckard received final approval for the Lille Bonne plans this week She lives a block away from the Danish church and was inspired to transform it after walking past it every day I wonder what they're going to do with it,' not really considering that it might be me," Reckard said She has spent the past week removing damaged fabric from the church's pews and using a crowbar to expose the church's original hardwood floors Several Fletcher Place neighbors have toured through the work-in-progress while waiting for the cafe to open "It's a place for people to hang around in the neighborhood," said Maryann Petrosino who lives across Noble Street from the Danish church "We can coalesce a little bit and get to know each other a little bit more than just passing by." Reckard hopes to open Lille Bonne this summer "The significance of this building for the neighborhood and the fact that it's a physical space that's just beautiful of it's own regardless of what you put in here CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE TDN FOR FREE!

But it was from punting on racing that the passion developed Was there any particular horse responsible for developing that passion so I wouldn't have been that young at the time " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Frankel (GB) was the first wow horse for me I never really thought about pedigrees much until he came along " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Frankel I became very interested in why certain horses are better than others I approached races from a mathematical point of view and loved the puzzle of working out races I studied Computer Science and I also spent some time in real estate-and still like the punting side of things the pinhooking and breeding has probably taken over The breeding and pinhooking is another form of punting It's all part of the problem solving aspect of racing that my mind has always been fascinated with We have eight or nine broodmares in Ireland with some good friends of ours and we try to adopt a quality over quantity approach Peter and Carol are based in Kildare and are very good breeders They produce very good racehorses and we're delighted to have teamed up with them How has your broodmare band and racing interests developed You and your Dad have gone from owning fun handicappers like T For Tango Our Manekineko and My Manekineko to winning listed races and breeding big-ticket lots at some of the premier sales He used to work in England in the seventies and eighties and would always tell me about Grundy and Bustino We're originally from Malaysia but Dad got introduced to horses originally through punting and walking in and out of the bookies Dad took me to a lot of race meetings when I was younger our interest started out as a bit of fun and My Dad obviously wanted me to go into that but I was too contrary and wanted to have a career in horse racing My older brother and older sister are helping him out with the property business and I'm helping him to waste money on horses while my family took some convincing initially it's been going okay in the past number of years so hopefully that will continue While people might not know a lot about you they are probably aware of Thornbrook (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) who is the latest high-class performer that your mare Thornbrook has won her listed race but we do think she is capable of winning Group races next year The whole story with the mare is just incredible We've had successes with pinhooks and things like that but nothing quite like Lillebonne I am very good friends with trainer James Nash in Ireland He has introduced me to a lot of good people in the industry A lot of people I have met at the sales and in racing they have been through James's connections Peter is a very nice guy and I always liked the stock he produced-they all had good bone and looked like proper racehorses I can remember he wouldn't shut up about this big Mehmas (Ire) colt he had going to Goffs one year He was telling me for weeks and weeks that I needed to buy this horse We got him sold for over €500,000 to Hong Kong where he has turned out to be a brilliant horse She has produced Seisai (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) who was probably the most talented of them all He had Group level talent but was very hard to keep sound Seisai was sold to Lane's End last year and I understand she is going to visit Flightline Then there was the Night Of Thunder (Ire) filly who we sold for 500,000gns through Baroda Stud here at Book 1 That was another brilliant result with the mare Where does that rank in terms of achievements in the sport We got a touch out of Magnanimous but it was special to share the success with the Henleys at Book 1 Full credit has to go to them because Carol sourced the mare for 40,000gns here in 2013 Carol is an excellent judge of a mare and I have learned a lot from her And how did the link with Joseph come about who was a pretty average jumper but we got to know Joseph through that and we got on very well with him I wouldn't describe myself as a horseman but I can ask Joseph anything and he will help me I rely on the best horsemen I know and surround myself with the best people who know what they are doing You might not label yourself as a horseman but plenty of people have described you as a good judge How have you gone from having no background in the game to breeding and pinhooking to a high level One of the first agents I followed was a guy called Justin Bahen I got to know him through James Nash and he mainly works the horses-in-training sales for the Hong Kong market I can remember being green as grass with Justin I know I was not a good student but I still follow a lot of the stuff he did and adopt similar processes to how he shortlists horses He was quite particular and I'd say I am quite particular as well But the key was just getting out there and looking at as many horses as I could I'd go to every sale and look at every horse I could It's only recently that I became confident in my own abilities to judge a horse That's handy because you spent €210,000 on a Night Of Thunder colt last week at Goffs The main focus is breeding but I want to supplement that with pinhooking and will aim to buy a couple of foals each year the first sale I ever went to was at Goffs and I went around with Bobby O'Ryan I can remember it was the time of No Nay Never's first foal crop and I liked a filly by him I bought her with Bobby and that was my first pinhook Her name was Nay Lady Nay (Ire) and she won four times for Chad Brown Her full-brother Arizona (Ire) came out the following year and she ended up selling for $1.7 million Will you try and buy another foal here at Tattersalls I tried on a few on Wednesday but got outbid I'll try again on Friday and have plenty on the list You need to be by the right sire-Havana Grey (GB) It's very sire focussed and I need to factor that into my pinhooking Everything by the big sires will make a little more than it should The yearling market was tricky enough this year and how will you approach the next few months in terms of doing up mating plans for your mares Lillebonne needs a good cover but we don't go too high on the sires She is in foal to Saxon Warrior There's a lovely mare there called Statuesque (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) who we bought off Cheveley Park here in 2019 for 52,000gns She won her maiden for John O'Donoghue and looks a promising filly Statuesque has a really nice Space Blues (Ire) filly who is probably the best foal on our farm You say you approach everything with an analytical mindset but how do you apply mathematics to breeding horses the proper horsemen will just run rings around them You need to understand where you are looking It's good to have things in the background about certain sires and statistics can be good at times but nothing is more important than looking at the physical attributes of a horse how have you viewed the market in recent times The health of the industry over here is a big worry Take for example the Night Of Thunder filly we sold at Book 1 almost all of the vets were on behalf of American buyers Very few trainers in Britain and Ireland had orders and that can't be healthy because the racing product is going to suffer There are some very good trainers in Britain and they don't seem to have orders and I think racing in Britain and Ireland is the most entertaining I live in London and never miss Royal Ascot and go to Sandown quite regularly as well if the talent drain continues for another 10 years we're going to weaken the product quite significantly Book 1 is the best of the best over here in England but the majority of the big horses were being sold abroad We still have amazing stallions and brilliant owner-breeders over here so that's the positives I'd love to be involved in a Group 1 horse It might take a long time but that's the aim it took a long time to convince him about the idea We buy nice fillies and race them with Joseph and the hope is that we keep on breeding nice horses those kinds of guys are people to look up to We've a lot of good people helping us out so hopefully one day it happens full of interesting people and some fascinating characters I don't know how I got down this road but I am hooked Not a subscriber?
