polyptychoceras ( subptychoceras ) yubarense - private collection stage : late cretaceous from 100 . 5–66 ma ( million years ago ) ; upper yezo group locality : obirashibe river , obira , rumoi , hokkaido , japan size : 23x18x8 cm
polyptychoceras vancouverense upper cretaceous , santonian , trent river formation trent river , vancouver island , canada this species is referred to as he paperclip ammonite due to is resemblance . the ammonite was found in three sections and has been glued back together and then prepared . a rare heteromorph from a more unusual location . the ammonite measures 4 . 9cm ' s in length
interestingly , all heteromorphs known from the santonian are endemic to bp and nwp provinces . nostoceratids include nipponites bacchus , hyphantoceras orientale and h . ( ? ) heteromorphum ( found in sakhalin and japan ) , and h . reussianum and h . yabei ( found in sakhalin and the koryak upland ) , while the family diplomoceratidae is represented by mostly sakhalin endemics . only two species were found in northeasterly regions , viz . polyptychoceras ( po . ) pseudogaultinum and po . ( s . ) vancouverense , while others are known from sakhalin ( neocrioceras spinigerum , diplomoceras notabile , pseudoxybeloceras ( ps . ) obstrictum , ps . ( ps . ) quadrinodosum , ps . ( ps . ) sakhalinum and ps . ( subptychoceras ) yubarense ) and only two were found in japan ( polyptychoceras ( po . ) pseudogaultinum and po . ( subptychoceras ) yubarense ) .

this heteromorph ammonite is quite common in cretaceous shales on the trent and puntledge rivers . they are known to collectors as the paper - clip ammonites or sometime they are referred to as candy canes .
in this sample , fossilized remnants of the shell are still visible over most of the ammonite . these ammonites have 3 parallel shafts , but usually only two are found - - one bend in the paper clip .

does anyone have any saurolophus in their collection ? i just got a mini saurolophus from a cheap set from walmart . it is just yellow . it is pretty nice .
this volume accompanies an emu school intended to bring contemporary research on mineral reaction kinetics to the attention of young researchers and to put it into the context of recent developments in related disciplines . a selection of topics , methods and concepts , which the contributors deem currently most relevant and instructive , is presented .

) . boreal – boreal palaeogeographic realm ; tethyan – tethyan palaeogeographic realm . a – arctic province ; bp – boreal pacific province ; nwp – north west pacific province ; nep – north east pacific province ; swp – south west pacific province ; sep – south east pacific province ; wna –western interior of north america ; eu – european province ; ai – african - indian province ; mc – mediterranean / caucasian province .
as noted above , it is possible to subdivide the pacific into various provinces on the basis of mid - and late cretaceous ammonite faunas . in general , this subdivision can be recognised only at the species level ; however , there are some intervals where it is even demonstrable at the generic level .
in addition to sonneratia , the family hoplitidae is represented by gastroplitines , that is , gastroplites ( paragastroplites ) cf . flexicostatus , neogastroplites sp . and n . kamchatkensis , which are confined to the arctic province . however , n . kamchatkensis is morphologically similar to n . americanus , which is widely distributed in the western interior and could be its geographical sibling species .
some taxa were identified exclusively from northeast russia ( bp province ) , having no records ( yet ) in sakhalin or sikhote alin , namely proplacenticeras sutherlandbrowni ( widely distributed also in nep ; see mclearn , 1972 ) , the widespread mortoniceras and stoliczkaia ( lamnayella ) cf . japonica , endemic to the pacific . interestingly , that last - mentioned form is also known from japan , but not from sakhalin .
an assemblage of albian heteromorph ammonites , recorded from the russian pacific coast , is comprised exclusively of turrilitids , namely mariella sp . , m . aff . circumtaeniata , turrilites sp . , pseudhelicoceras sp . and p . carlottense . there is no doubt that these are cosmopolitan genera , but in most cases , identification at species level is fraught with difficulties because of poor preservation . for now , it cannot be stated whether these forms comprised endemics or more cosmopolitan forms , in addition to p . carlottense , which is known from the arctic , bp and nep provinces .
the late cenomanian oae2 ( yazykova , 2004 ) probably was the main trigger to the extirpation of cenomanian faunas . the cenomanian / turonian boundary mass extinctions reflected in the diversity of every biotic group , both at the generic and specific level . some ammonite families and subfamilies disappeared , for example , turrilitidae , acanthoceratinae and lyelliceratidae . amongst species known from the russian pacific , not a single cenomanian taxon survived this crisis .
the global scaphites facies can be clearly traced in northeast russia and sakhalin , from where only endemic representatives are known : scaphites planus , yezoites puerculus , y . subplanus , y . pseudoaequalis and y . teshioensis . species of yezoites predominate , while at the same time scaphites is the dominant genus in eu or mc ( see , amongst others , atabekian & akopian , 1970 ; kaplan et al . , 1987 ; wiese et al . , 1996 ) .
in comparison to the cenomanian when the family desmoceratidae was represented by a few widely distributed taxa , in the turonian this group included only endemics , that is , puzosia ( m . ) takahashii , jimboiceras planulatiforme , pachydesmoceras pachydiscoide , tragodesmoceroidas subcostatus and damesites damesi intermedius , while in northeast russia only kitchinites ishikawai and j . planulatiforme are known . the sole member of the pseudotissotiidae , hourcquia pacifica , is endemic to nwp .
heteromorphs are comparatively diverse in the turonian . of note is that of four nostoceratids identified , namely nostoceras ( eubostrychoceras ) japonicum , nipponites mirabilis , n . sachalinensis and hyphantoceras aff . reussianum , only the first two are known from northeast russia , but all of them occur in sakhalin , including the only one which is truly cosmopolitan , h . reussianum . two endemic forms represent the family diplomoceratidae , one of them occurring in sakhalin , scalarites mihoensis , the other in northeast russia , s . scalaris . in total , the degree of endemicity rose during the turonian and continued this trend in the coniacian .
the family phylloceratidae is still represented by the pacific species h . ( n . ) ramosum as well as the gaudryceratids gaudryceras denseplicatum and g . tenuiliratum , joined now , however , by anagaudryceras politissimum , an immigrant from southern india , which much later , during the maastrichtian , was widely distributed in ai , swp , sep and nep , but in nwp it is confined either to the coniacian ( sakhalin ) or to the late campanian - early maastrichtian ( japan ) . this could also be connected with some temperature maximum , recorded for the coniacian and campanian ( yu . d . zakharov et al . , 2002 ) .
tetragonitids are represented by tetragonites glabrus , which probably appeared already in the cenomanian of alaska ( bp ) , and later extended into the nwp , nep and ai provinces . a similar way of distribution can be determined for t . epigonus , which first appeared in the turonian of japan ( nwp ) and later extended to the eu , ai and swp provinces .
the appearance of binneyites in sakhalin is interesting . this genus was held to be endemic to the northern western interior of north america ( wna province ) . since only a single specimen is known from the northwest pacific , probably , this is an example of post - mortem drift distribution ( compare kennedy & cobban , 1976 ) .
of the family desmoceratidae only kitchinites ishikawai survives , but new ( sub ) species appeared as well , such as k . japonica , jimboiceras mihoense , damesites damesi intermedius and d . sugata . all of them are pacific endemics , with the exception of d . sugata , which is also known from the ai and south eu provinces . hourcquia pacifica , the endemic pseudotissotiid , survived into the coniacian .
the coniacian of sakhalin and japan sees the first member of the family pachydiscidae , an endemic to nwp , menuites ( anapachydiscus ) sutneri . this constitutes one of the earliest appearances of menuites ( anapachydiscus ) ; an even earlier one was noted from post - turonian strata in durban , south africa ( kennedy et al . , 1973 ) .
in the russian pacific , the santonian was characterised by a continued increase of taxonomic diversity , in spite of an abrupt temperature drop across the coniacian / santonian boundary ( yu . d . zakharov et al . , 2002 ) , which is reflected in the disappearance of many coniacian forms . however , as noted before , ammonites did not really depend of climate changes and usually rapidly recovered following such environmental crises .
some long - lived species still occur , such as the phylloceratid , hypophylloceras ( neophylloceras ) ramosum , and the gaudryceratids gaudryceras tenuiliratum and g . denseplicatum . however , these two families also are represented by new species in northeast russia , that is , phyllopachyceras forbesianum ( phylloceratidae ) , and , in sakhalin , phyllopachyceras ezoense ( phylloceratidae ) , anagaudryceras yokoyamai and zelandites kawanoi ( gau - dryceratidae ) .
the family tetragonitidae is represented by the endemic saghalinites saghalinensis , tetragonites glabrus , t . epigonus and t . popetensis , and one immigrant species , pseudophyllites indra , which appeared only in northeast russia . in far east russia , collignoniceratids are represented by the subfamily texanitinae , also with a high degree of provincialism . texanites ( plesiotexanites ) kawasakii and protexanites ( p . ) bontanti shimizui are known only from sakhalin , the latter being an immigrant from eu province , while p . ( p . ) fukazawai and p . ( p . ) shoshonensis have been recorded exclusively from northeast russia ( bp province ) .
desmoceratids are still represented by species and subspecies which appeared earlier , that is , kitchinites ishikawai , k . japonica , damesites sugata and d . damesi intermedius . two others , d . d . damesi and hauericeras angustum , are new and both are endemic . hauericeras angustum probably originated from h . gardeni , after migrating in from ai to japan .
there is a markedly wide distribution of pachydiscids , comprising eupachydiscus haradai , menuites ( m . ) menu , m . ( m . ) naibutiensis and m . ( m . ) japonicus . it appears that m . ( m . ) menu first appeared in the koryak upland , later in sakhalin and japan , and gave rise to two endemic species , m . ( m . ) naibutiensis and m . ( m . ) japonicus , which in turn disappeared from the pacific and migrated elsewhere , more specifically south africa and southern india ( ai province ) , where they appeared during the maastrichtian ( forbes , 1846 ; kennedy & henderson , 1992a , 1992b ; kennedy & klinger , 2006 ) .
the family kossmaticeratidae shows the highest degree of provincialism , with three species of yokoyamaoceras known from northeast russia only , namely y . venustum , y . jimboi and y . kotoi . in sakhalin only two of these , y . jimboi and y . ishikawai , have been recorded .
one the most interesting events in the santonian is the appearance of the mortoniceratine ( brancoceratid ) mortoniceras ? kawasakii , recorded by kawada ( 1929 ) . elsewhere in the world , representatives of mortoniceras sensu stricto are completely unknown from post - albian / lower cenomanian strata . probably , kawada’s specimen is best reassigned to the subgenus mortoniceras ( submortoniceras ) , which is known from the campanian of california and oregon ( anderson , 1958 ) , and could thus represent the precursor of species of mortoniceras ( submortoniceras ) in california .
the family tetragonitidae appears to have evolved furthest , with seven species known from campanian deposits in far east russia . two of these are cosmopolitan ( pseudophyllites indra and tetragonites epigonus ) , another two ( t . glabrus and t . popetensis ) are characterised by wider distribution than the remaining three , t . crassus , saghalinites teshioensis and s . saghalinensis , which are endemic to the north pacific . representatives of saghalinites have not yet been found in northeast russia .
during the campanian , kossmaticeratids demonstrated absolute endemicity and provincialism . three species are known from northeasterly regions , namely yoko - yamaoceras jimboi , y . venustum and y . kotoi , while only one ( y . ishikawai ) was found in sakhalin .
representatives of the collignoniceratidae are known only from the koryak upland , being the endemics protexanites fukazawai and p . aff . shoshonensis . these record the last appearance of this family and of the subfamily texanitinae , both here as elsewhere in the world ( wright et al . , 1996 ) .
representatives of the family tetragonitidae , tetragonites popetensis , pseudophyllites indra and saghalinites sp . , are characterised by a relatively wide distribution . also interesting is the appearance of the kossmaticeratid brahmaites ( subbrahmaites ) sachalinensis , which clearly is an endemic subgenus and species , but this event is correlative with the fad of brahmaites ( b . ) brahma forbes in southern india , southwest france , madagascar ( collignon , 1938 ) and tunisia ( goolaerts et al . , 2004 ) , and also with the occurrence of b . ( b . ) kossmati in western australia ( henderson & mcnamara , 1985 ) .
in comparison to the campanian , heteromorph ammonites are not so diverse , with only two families and four species in all : nostoceras ( didymoceras ) cf . californicum anderson , neancyloceras pseudoarmatum , diplomoceras notabile and glyptoxoceras sp . many seamounts have now been charted , inclusive of data on their fossil records , for example , zelandites japonicus , saghalinites sp . and indeterminate belemnitids , the latter from the magellan rise , ioan guyot ( yu . d . zakharov et al . , 2007 ) .

. . . - the aptychi of this species are elongated in shape ; at the juvenile stage , they are slightly wider than at the adult stage ( fig . 4 ) . the outer bivalve calcitic plates increase their thickness towards the lateral margin ( see terminology in kruta et al . 2009 ; fig . 1 ) , reaching their maximum thick - ness at some distance from the edge and then decreasing ( fig . 5a , b ) . the surface of the calcitic layer is either smooth , or , in some cases , carries sub - tle longitudinal grooves , growth lines or small shal - low pits in the initial part ( fig . 4c ) . . . .
. . . although aptychi praestriaptyhus and granulapty - chus with a thin calcitic plate were described by trauth ( 1927trauth ( - 1936trauth ( , 1938 , their microstructure rarely became an object of study . the microstructure of aptychi has been studied mainly regarding rela - tively thick form types : laevaptychus and lamellap - tychus ( von zittel 1903 ; schindewolf 1958 ; farinacci et al . 1976 ; hewitt et al . 1993 ; kruta et al . 2009 ) , due to this fact , the typical features of these morpho - types ( e . g . three - layered structure and tubular layer ) were approximated to other types of upper jurassic aptychi . . . .
. . . this lamellar structure makes it possible to understand the mode of aptychi growth : each new lamella was deposited along the lateral margin of the aptychus and slightly overlapped the previous one ; therefore , aptychi grew not only hori - zontally but also vertically , gradually thickening . similarly , with the thickening in a vertical direction , the laevaptychi of aspidoceratid macroconchs grew ( kruta et al . 2009 ) . therefore , despite significant differences in the microstructure and the number of calcitic layers , the growth pattern of aptychi in both sexual dimorphic counterparts of aspidoceratinae was quite similar . . . .
. . . the outer chitinous lamella is sculptured by dense , concentric growth lines and has an indentation at the midline joint in the posterior margin . the outer calcified element of the lower jaw , i . e . , aptychus , is made of calcite ( schindewolf 1958 ; landman et al . 2007 ; kruta et al . 2009 ) . it is distinctly partitioned into paired plates along the harmonic midline joint termed
symphysenrand
by trauth ( 1927 ) , whose english equivalent , symphysis , was introduced by arkell ( 1957 ) . . . .
. . . during activity their hyponomic sinus forms a ventral peristome angle ( v p ) of only 5–158 allowing their hyponome to bend beneath the shell during forward - jetting , i . e . , clear adaptations to their scavenging and carnivorous , nekto - benthic habits . mesozoic ammonoids vary from brevidomic to longidomic and consistently lack a hyponomic sinus indicating basically different propulsion systems ranging from moderate forwards and backwards swimming potential , including the possibility of medusa - like slow propulsion by modified arms and twin - nozzle hyponomes ( westermann , 2013 ) , to vertically migrating or drifting megaplankton , planktivorous habits ( westermann , 1996 ; kruta et al . , 2009 ) . . . .
. . . because recent material is unavailable for comparison , we selected an example of the best preserved aptychus ( amnh 54277 ) from the lower campanian of alabama . in amnh 54277 , the calcitic increments are identifiable and the main lamellar layer ( r1 ) and the outer layer ( r2 ) are well defined in this specimen ( see [ 27 ] for a discussion of aptychus microstructure ) . we assigned a high preservation index ( 5 = excellent preservation ) if the two layers ( r1 and r2 ) could be identified and / or if calcitic increments could be observed ( for very small pieces of aptychus , the outer layer was not always present ) . . . .
. . . aptychus - type lower jaws are characterized by the presence of a pair of calcareous plates ( aptychus in sensu stricto ) that cover the wide area of the underlying outer chitinous lamella with a distinct median depression . the paired calcareous plates are made of calcite ( schindewolf 1958 ; landman et al . 2007 ; kruta et al . 2009 ) . in cross - section along the maximum growth axis , each of the paired plates is built up of obliquely arranged microincrements that were probably secreted from outside by the overlying epithelial issue , as in the case of the anterior calcareous tips of modern nautilids ( tanabe & fukuda 1987b ; seilacher 1993 ) . . . .
. . . the calcite appears as two plates , forming the aptychus ( see landman et al . , 2007b , for a description of the aptychus in baculites ) . the aptychus is only 100 to 200 mm thick in scaphites ( kruta et al . , 2009 ) . the ventral surface of the aptychus is covered with comarginal lirae . . . .

icabad crane ( foaled april 9 , 2005 , in new york ) is an american thoroughbred racehorse by jump start out of adorahy .

in february 2007 , he was purchased as a two-year-old at the ocala breeders sale for $ 110,000 .

icabad crane is consistent , finishing in the money in 23 out of his 29 starts for his trainer h. graham motion .

icabad crane wins evan shipman stakes at saratoga 2011 with rajiv maragh up just a reminder of what a game race horse icabad was… here he is coming from behind to win in the slop at saratoga in 2011 .
the retired racehorse project’s thoroughbred makeover has just concluded , and the final votes were tallied to officially declare herringswell stable’s icabad crane the 2014 winner .
the videos upped the horse’s popularity , but dutton made sure the win was secure when he showed off icabad crane’s moves in front of the crowd at pimlico .
returning to that track where he finished third in the 2008 preakness stakes , icabad crane was able to better that performance on oct . 5 at pimlico race course .
you can call him icabad . not ichabod , like the character from “the legend of sleepy hollow . ” there is a thoroughbred named ichabod crane , a 1983 version .
this year we’ve got three new york hunch - betting opportunities : spa city princess in the iroquois ; adirondack summer in the mohawk , and icabad crane in the classic .
icabad crane took a huge leap forward this weekend at the plantation field horse trials in nearby unionville , pennsylvania . with partner phillip dutton aboard , icabad made his debut at the fei ( federation equestre internationale ) level , competing in – and winning – his first cic * event . sitting in fourth place after friday afternoon’s dressage phase , icabad
icabad crane already has had success in his first few events , and in may it was announced that he will tackle another challenge in the america’s most wanted thoroughbred contest . icabad crane will represent the change from racehorse to eventer in the contest , in which he will be competing against nine other thoroughbreds transitioning into new careers from ranch work to fox hunting .
the end brought to mind a saratoga conversation between cohen and the motions . anita had said she wanted to add icabad crane to the retirement paddock at fair hill with former standouts better talk now and gala spinaway . of course , icabad crane competed for two more seasons - burnishing his reputation as a barn favorite and sought - after morning mount for exercise riders .
the new york - bred is the third horse the motions have sent to dutton . the other two , ballast and icabad crane ' s half - brother van tassel , came home quickly .

popular ottb icabad crane had a busy weekend in kentucky last week , competing in the cci * as well as putting on a couple of exhibitions for the retired racehorse project thoroughbred makeover . that’s what happens
• help support icabad crane’s career . all fan club dues go directly to funding his competition costs . • help support other ottbs . fan club dues will also go to support charities that help off - track thoroughbreds like icabad . • learn from a two - time olympic gold medalist . you’ve seen phillip’s training videos on icabad’s facebook page . fan club members will receive even more exclusive training videos .
multiple stakes winner icabad crane raced in behind the leaders before rallying when asked and overtaking stormy’s majesty at the finish line for a nose victory in the $ 75 , 000 evan shimpman s . at saratoga .
last week , we brought you a great video featuring phillip dutton and graham and anita motion’s icabad crane as they prepare for their 2015 season . two more videos have since been published , taking a deeper look into
however , this horse has shown the ability to compete with open company when properly spotted . this likes like one of those spots . if the pace proves faster than expected , icabad crane might provide a shocker .
anyone even remotely familiar with herringswell stables knows that icabad crane is and always has been very special to the entire team . he earned his reputation first as a hard - knocking stakes winner on the racetrack , but in his second career as an event horse under the tutelage of olympic champion phillip dutton , icabad has become
he’s not a loner . icabad likes a friend with him when he goes out in turn - out .
dutton is based in pennsylvania , but heads to aiken , s . c . this week to get ready for the 2014 eventing season . icabad crane , now owned by his former trainer graham motion and wife anita , will go with the stable . the motions technically purchased icabad crane from mack for $ 1 and control his future as an eventer . it could be bright , even though he ' s a long way from the olympics .
graham and anita motion’s former star racehorse , icabad crane , has made waves in the eventing world this year after transitioning to a second career under the tutelage of phillip dutton . not only has the 9 - year - old
since beginning his eventing career , icabad crane has made eight starts and is now competing at training level . most recently , under the tutelage of waylon roberts , icabad finished 13th at seneca valley . the former preakness stakes runner gained massive popularity with the eventing crowd for his easy demeanor and affinity for eventing that seemed to come naturally to him .
in the last month , icabad crane learned to jump , took some early dressage lessons , even splashed through a water hazard while impressing his new trainer , an olympian for his native australia and the united states during a long eventing career .
just 121 votes behind icabad crane was pookie’s princess , who finished second in the contest . pookie’s princess showed off a variety of skills under western tack , including reining and western dressage , before laying down on the track for her rider patrick king .
actually dutton was given another horse before icabad . he didn ' t have the talent or desire that icabad does . this dicipline is not for every horse but it ' s nice to see that for some they can excell at multiple things .
he’s got a huge fan club and his very own facebook page . when news that racehorse trainer graham motion was sending a thoroughbred from his herringswell stables to eventing star phillip dutton to re - train at the end of 2013 , interest in icabad crane skyrocketed .
in november of 2008 , icabad crane was second in the itaka ( come on…anyone ? anyone with an itaka / ithaca connection for me ? it really would pull all this together beautifully ) . last year , he was second to friend or foe in the empire classic .
foaled april 9 , 2005 in new york , icabad crane ( jump start – adorahy , by rahy ) started his career as a racehorse in 2007 , winning three of his first four starts and setting himself on the triple crown trail with kentucky derby winning trainer graham motion .
you can watch icabad crane go through some of these training steps on the herringswell stables youtube channel . the videos include several of dutton narrating the training process plus some post - event comments from dutton ' s assistant waylon roberts , who was aboard for two competitions in june .
as well as our runners at pimlico this weekend icabad crane finished third on sunday at fair hill . this is his second attempt at preliminary level eventing . it was 2008 when he ran in the preakness where he finished third to big brown . obviously he’s a pretty talented guy .
the retired racehorse project put up a poll for the public to vote for their favorite most wanted thoroughbred , which icabad crane handily won with 24 . 2 % of the final poll vote . phillip and icabad also impressed during their demo when they showed off their adjustability , riding a line in 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , and 8 strides before coming back down in 4 again . how’s that for retraining ?
division b had a decent shake - up of the top 10 at the conclusion of cross country . phillip dutton on icabad crane made this course look easy putting in one of the 10 double clears for the division . phillip holds on to his dressage score of 41 . 1 and moves into first place with a fast round 19 seconds inside the time . icabad handled his first fei cross country round with an expert attitude .
piloted by phillip dutton , icabad crane’s story has been a fun one to follow . “this is a cool horse , ” phillip dutton said upon accepting the first place awards , which include a $ 6 , 000 check and a revitavet therapy system . we couldn’t agree more , phillip !
this afternoon , the demonstrations will include what we’ve all been waiting for : eventing ! laine ashker , jennie brannigan , and phillip dutton will be on hand to strut their stuff . don’t forget that phillip’s mount , icabad crane , is one of the horses vying for the most wanted title !
last year , motion and his wife , anita , “bought” icabad crane , a motion - trainee and the 2008 preakness stakes third - place finisher , from owner earle mack for $ 1 when it was decided to retire the gelding . icabad crane was put in training with three - day event gold medalist phillip dutton later that year and motion’s herringswell stables has been allowing the gelding’s fans to track his progress with dutton with updates on facebook and through the stable’s youtube page , which also features videos of other parts of stable life as well , in addition to a blog on this is horse racing .
phillip , catch us up on how icabad crane is doing at your winter base in south carolina . “he just arrived here in aiken . he spent a little more time in pennsylvania with the idea being to bring him back a bit slower this year . he had such a whirlwind last year and i just wanted
with his partner phillip dutton aboard , icabad crane made an appearance at “eventing with the stars” this afternoon . the event was presented by dutton and fellow pan american games gold medalist boyd martin at windurra usa , the home base of martin and his wife silva in cochranville , pennsylvania . the appreciative and knowledgeable crowd spent the

icabad crane is a new york - bred which had a long string of bridesmaid starts until posting a victory in march of 2010 . the gelding then managed to collect five more checks without winning until putting a pair of victories back - to - back over the winter . both came versus restricted state - bred company .
after phillip’s demo ride , his 13 - year - old daughter , olivia , got on and hacked the gelding around , once again showing off his mild manner and rideability . phillip has done a great job with icabad crane , and the top prize comes as a well - deserved nod to his skills in the saddle .
when voting started earlier this month , the icabad crane team released a series of videos with famous industry personalities talking about the horse . among the participants in the series were his trainer during his racing career and current owner graham motion plus jockey julien leparoux , with current rider phillip dutton and his daughter olivia also making videos .
my wife and i had always wanted to do something with phillip and [ his wife ] evie in this regard . it’s something my wife had thought about quite a long time ago , and icabad crane just seemed like the perfect horse to pursue it with . he’s a pretty well - known horse , he was an older horse with a tremendous disposition and he didn’t have a career - ending injury . we just felt that it was time to call it a career for him . [ icabad crane’s racing owner ] earle mack was gracious enough to give him to my wife to pursue this . so it just was kind of the perfect scenario .
icabad won his first preliminary eventing title at shawan downs this saturday . i don ' t have the placings to post here but they are on his facebook page .
i cabad crane has his own facebook page where you can follow along with his progress in his new career as an eventer . and , of course , we’ll be sure to follow along with the story here as icabad learns the ropes and starts competing . kudos to the motions for giving a war horse a second chance at a new career .
he’s famous . dutton’s head groom emma ford was amused at a grooming clinic at dutton’s true prospect farm ( pa . ) last summer . she made sure the four - star headliners at the farm were spiffed up for people to see—mr . medicott , mighty nice and fernhill fugitive . “i didn’t even think about icabad , ” ford said . “but at the end of the clinic we let them meet the top horses , and everyone wanted to see him . nobody was that interested about the top horses . they all wanted to see icabad crane .
at the end of his racing career , he was given to graham and anita motion and they are very involved with his new career . anita goes to dutton ' s stable and regularly videos icabad ' s training sessions and then posts them . icabad seems to be part of their family . icabad ' s progress is not hindered by having an olympic rider / trainer . but the talent and attitude all come from inside the horse . for him to have gone from beginner novice to preliminary in a little over a year is amazing .

the retired racehorse made 33 starts for owner earle mack , winning stakes and placing third in the 2008 preakness . big brown won that day , but icabad crane parlayed that brush with greatness into a racing career that lasted until 2013 and he ' s not finished as the 9 - year - old gelding recently joined the barn of international three - day event rider phillip dutton .
icabad crane , in his work with world - class event rider / trainer phillip dutton , is no exception . the training involves learning dressage - a series of precise movements in a ring under the watchful eyes of a judge . once a fast - galloping , lead - changing , powerful - starting racehorse , icabad crane must be a calm , collected , responsive , disciplined athlete now . his bold side gets to come out in cross country , where he navigates jumps over varying sizes and shapes , plus water obstacles , hills , banks and the like . finally , show jumping adds the final element and mixes the discipline of dressage with the bravery of cross country . a good show jumper must leap boldly when needed , but listen and relax and turn on demand .
our favorite video is titled
the dreaded water ,
and shows icabad crane learning the water obstacle - about as far from his racing career as you could get . it ' s not that bad , and it ' s only referred to as dreaded because he ' d probably prefer to lie down and roll in it rather than trot or canter through . regardless , he ' s learning .
multiple stakes winner icabad crane raced in behind the leaders before rallying when asked and overtaking stormy’s majesty at the finish line for a nose victory in the $ 75 , 000 evan shimpman s . at saratoga . his fifth stakes win and seventh lifetime win for the six - year - old half brother to hip 258 selling at saratoga aug . 13 . breeder gallagher’s stud has had a lot of updating on their bernstein filly’s page in past few days . her half - brother won on opening day at the spa as well . icabad crane is also a denali sale graduate of the ny - bred preferred sale , he has won or placed in 21 of his lifetime starts including a third in the 2008 preakness s . - g1 . he races for another denali stud client , mr . earle i . mack .
icabad crane , ridden by eventing olympic gold medalist phillip dutton , bettered nine other horses , showing off many different disciplines to take home the winner’s share of the $ 10 , 000 prize . the disciplines on display were polo , show hunter , eventing , ranch work , steeplechase , fox hunter , show jumper , barrel racing , dressage , and pony club with each horse credibly showing off their chosen discipline .
phillip told this is horse racing that icabad is “ naturally a very balanced horse who has a great attitude to being ridden and to learning . ” icabad is traveling to aiken this week to spend the rest of the winter at phillip’s red oak farm , and he indicated the plan is to get the horse out to a few local shows this spring before entering him in his first event later this summer .
the bay gelding ( jump start—adorahy , rahy ) won $ 585 , 980 on the track in 33 starts—including placing third in the 2008 preakness stakes ( md . ) —and retired from running at age 8 . and when icabad crane won the title of most wanted thoroughbred at the 2014 retired racehorse retraining project’s thoroughbred makeover , he became a hero to off - the - track thoroughbred fans everywhere . dutton brought “icabad” up the levels carefully , from beginner novice to training level in 2014 , making his preliminary debut in february of 2015 . he finished last year with fifth place in the hagyard midsouth cci * ( ky . ) .
with a 5 - stride line of jumps set up on track , dutton adjusted icabad crane’s stride so he took them in four , five , six , seven , and eight strides before taking another go at four strides . but that wasn’t the end of the demonstration as dutton’s 13 - year - old daughter , olivia , then got on the gelding and showed off his work when not jumping , winning over the crowd .
\ per phillip dutton eventing :
icabad crane is officially a prelim horse ! he placed third today ( feb . 25 ) at full gallop farm horse trials in his debut at the preliminary level , finishing on his dressage score of 30 . 0 . he was the fastest horse on cross country in his division by 36 seconds — i think he had fun out there . . . i’d like to think that at the higher levels he’s going to be even more competitive when the fitness and endurance on cross country matter more . this is his career now , and we’re committed to taking this as far as icabad wants to go . if today is any indicator , this journey is far from over . thank you to barry bornstein for the great photo of icabad at full gallop today .
so happy to see this horse doing well .
winless in 2009 , icabad crane rebounded to win two stakes in 2010 and two more in 2011 while battling the likes of flat out , hymn book , compliance officer , haynesfield , banrock and others . a tendon injury stopped his racing career for more than a year ( he missed all of 2012 ) , and he returned for three starts in 2013 . all losses , the races convinced motion that the horse ' s racing days were over .
launching a strong bid from between horses on the final turn , favored icabad crane ran down the front - running mint lane in the final sixteenth of a mile to register a head victory in the $ 100 , 000 federico tesio stakes on opening weekend at pimlico april 19 . the triumph could provide trainer h . graham motion and owner earle i . mack with a prospect for the may 17 preakness ( gr . i ) over the track .
dutton will take 30 horses to aiken and does indeed like what he sees from one of the newest . icabad crane is
naturally a very balanced horse who has a great attitude to being ridden and to learning .
his winter will be spent continuing to learn about this new career , making some treks to local shows and events just to get a feel for them ( without competing ) with an eye toward his first true eventing competition by summer .
joe clancy has the full story today over on his blog this is horse racing , which chronicles icabad’s success on the track , as well as the decision to ultimately retire him last year when he came back sound from an injury but no longer had his old spark left . the story says graham knew icabad “wasn’t a gelding who just wanted to go out in a paddock , ” so he and anita approached phillip about a new career for the horse .
in order to maximize the success of horses after leaving the track , aftercare organizations employ various screening processes to place horses with suitable adopters with goals the horse may thrive in . this evaluation process can , informally , start before a horse leaves the track . trainer graham motion and his wife , anita , have sent a number of former herringswell stable trainees on to successful second careers – including classic - placed icabad crane , now a winning eventer in two - time olympic gold medalist phillip dutton’s barn .
i think , in general , everyone has really stepped up and become much more aware of it . i think people certainly give us a lot of praise for what we’re doing [ retraining icabad crane ] . but i think a lot of people in the business are doing this , we’re certainly not the only ones . there are a lot of people doing a lot of good things out there whether they are owners , breeders or trainers . i think everyone is much more involved than they used to be and i think that’s a good thing , obviously .
notice that , under the npp model , only the place and show odds on indyanne are lower than those computed before , while the corresponding odds on porte bonheur and informed decision are considerably higher . this is particularly significant to show bettors , as it allows value - oriented players to find viable alternatives to a heavy favorite without needing them to win . such was the case in the 2008 preakness stakes when big brown paid $ 2 . 40 straight , while the show returns on macho again and icabad crane checked in at $ 10 . 40 and $ 5 . 60 respectively .
it’s no secret we’re suckers for a good ottb story here on en , and we especially love the latest news out of phillip dutton’s camp . kentucky derby - winning trainer graham motion and his wife , anita , have sent 2008 preakness stakes runner icabad crane into training with phillip to become an eventer . in addition to placing third in the preakness , the now 9 - year - old gelding [ jump start x adorahy , by rahy ] , won or hit the board in numerous other stakes races , finishing his career last year with 33 starts and $ 585 , 980 in winnings .
he was also a horse who was not particularly nice to ride ; he was always very difficult , very quirky , ( laughs ) not a particularly nice horse to be around . so it was a situation where , probably the opposite of icabad crane , we always knew he would be a hard horse to place . we just thought he would really appreciate staying in the routine . he enjoyed his routine and he was 10 years old . i think sometimes it is hard for horses to be taken away from that , so that’s kind of what we’ve tried to do and he’s done very well with it .
icabad quickly learned the ropes of eventing , winning his first beginner novice event with phillip in march 2014 . he moved up to novice and then training level in six months , ending his first eventing season by winning the retired racehorse project’s $ 10 , 000 america’s most wanted thoroughbred contest in october 2014 .
icabad finished 3rd in the preakness stakes and 8th in the belmont stakes in 2008 and went on to win four more races in a career that ultimately spanned six years on the racetrack . he hit the board in an impressive 75 percent of his 33 total starts to collect $ 585 , 980 in earnings .
among the 18 nominees to next saturday ' s 30th running of the kings point for older new york - breds at 1 1 / 8 miles are almighty silver , a three - time winner at the meet ; driven by solar ( see this week ' s horses to watch ) ; icabad crane , a sharp second in open company last out to odds - on well positioned ; manteca , runner - up in the 2009 kings point ; mighty morris , coming off back - to - back allowance wins ; naughty new yorker , a 56 - race veteran who recently surpassed the $ 1 million earnings plateau ; and stud muffin , the 2008 empire classic winner .
here are a few photos of icabad and olivia dutton at plantation field horse trials this past weekend . competing together for the first time , the pair won the thoroughbred series novice division , finishing up on their dressage score of 28 . 00 with no penalties incurred in their stadium or cross country rounds ! and phillip dutton sent
john quidor’s 1858 painting of the headless horseman pursuing ichabod crane hangs in the smithsonian american art museum . visit its site for more on “the legend of sleepy hollow , ” including a feature that weds the painting with excerpts from the story , written by new yorker washington irving and set in sleepy hollow , new york ( formerly north tarrytown ) .
while only a minor event , the 1 1 / 8 - mile proud spell s . was dominated by the a . p . indy tribe . a . p . indy sired the 6 3 / 4 - length winner , love and pride , who is a close relative of bernardini . the runner - up and third - place finishers were by tapit and bernardini , respectively . the tale was the same in a couple of 1 1 / 8 - mile stakes restricted to new york - breds : mineshaft ' s daughter mineralogist landed the saratoga dew s . , and icabad crane , by a . p . indy ' s son jump start , scored in the evan shipman s .
after retiring sound from the track in 2013 , new owners graham and anita motion of herringswell stables saw icabad’s athletic drive and desire and decided to put him in training for eventing . they sent him to double olympic gold medalist phillip dutton , who rode american thoroughbreds like truluck , house doctor and caymen went with much success at the upper levels .
now 10 years old , icabad is on his way to excelling in yet another career . he successfully moved up to the preliminary level in february 2015 and is now preparing to make his cci1 * debut at the hagyard mid - south three - day event in lexington , kentucky , in october 2015 , where he will also give a demonstration at the 2015 thoroughbred makeover .
while the end product was on display sunday , the contest started this summer and fans were able to follow the progress of all 10 horses on the retired racehorse project website . fans were able to vote earlier this month for their favorite horse and again while the horses were showing off their moves at pimlico , leading team icabad to pull out all the stops to secure the win .
icabad goes with the flow . “he’s easy to deal with , ” ford said . “we take him to a show and there is no drama . he stands on the trailer and ties . he’s just like , ‘dude , whatever . ’ at a show if i need to take two out to hand graze at once , i always take him because he will always be fine . ”
he didn’t catch on to cross - country right away , but it didn’t take him long ! “the first time phillip did some banks with icabad , the horse came back with some scrapes , and i was like what happened here , ” ford said . “but by that weekend when he was competing , he had figured it out . the thing that is so special about him is just how he has taken to the sport . ”
i think anyone who takes on an ex - racehorse just needs to be patient and give them time to adapt . icabad is a quick study in it but not all horses are going to adapt as quickly as he has . i think some horses for whatever reason , whether it is from an injury or just being wound up from being on the racetrack , i think some horses just need time to get away from the atmosphere that they are used to and settle down . that would probably be the biggest advice i would give .
this magnificent gelding ran out of graham and anita motion ' s herringswell stables at fair hill training center for six years , earning $ 586 , 000 in 33 starts . you might remember him running a close third to big brown in the preakness stakes . owner earl mack was thrilled to hand him over to graham and anita upon his retirement last fall , and we were thrilled to see him go to america ' s top event rider and trainer phillip dutton at true prospect farm in pennsylvania . phillip and icabad got started before most of the horses in this event , so they will demonstrate a slightly higher level of the training of an event horse . he is competing novice this summer and will most likely move up to training level by fall .

“i’d rather not compete him until he’s really ready , ” phillip told this is horse racing . “ i want to get him to understand that he’s not going to get in a starting gate anymore . he’s got to remember the stuff i teach him at home when we go places with a lot of other horses and loudspeakers and things . ”

“we’ll go to a show and there are always people who want to see him , ” ford continued .
he does have a little bit of an edge , though . “he’s normally quite personable—you can go in the stall and cuddle with him—but grooming you need to watch yourself , ” ford said . “he took time to come around to the tidying up , doing the ears and mane . the first few times , he was sort of like , ‘what ? no ! ’ and when you wash him you have to be careful about the hind—he has gotten me once , ” said ford .
he’s not afraid to just say “no . ” “his reaction to things he doesn’t like is just no , ” ford said . “but he does figure it out . when they installed the six - horse walker he wanted nothing to do with it . he was totally like , ‘nope , i’m not going in there . ’ it took a week , but now he walks fine in it in the middle of his space . ”
he doesn’t seem to remember the word “no” when the tack is on , though . “his whole attitude towards training is , you teach me and i’m going to give it a go , ” said ford .

phillip likes him , it ' s not like he ' s doing this for the hell of it ,
said anita .
he says he hasn ' t been around many horses that are so willing to please , so wanting to do well .
he was always like that , always very willing ,
said graham .
he ' s athletic and his athleticism is one thing , but his disposition is so good . that helped him .
he ran a big race to win the tesio , so that ' s why we went to the preakness ,
said cohen .
this was before animal kingdom ( won the kentucky derby for motion ) so it was a really neat thing for all of us . icky , that ' s what we called him , had a little trouble or he might have run second . he did us proud .
he came back fine from the injury ,
said graham .
he trained fine , he just didn ' t run well . i guess he didn ' t want to do it anymore .
you learn to become disassociated with horses because you know they could be claimed , they could get hurt or the owners could take them away ,
said anita of life with a racing stable .
you have to learn to kind of not get attached or get too sentimental , but when they ' re with you until they ' re 8 years old , you get attached . we had six years with the horse . that ' s a long time , and he always had a lovely personality and a friendly face . we wanted to keep him around and maybe see if he could do something else .
as far as we were concerned , we just wanted him to have a good home ,
said cohen .
we took a shot and brought him back ( in 2013 ) and he wasn ' t the same . we retired him and graham said he wasn ' t a gelding who just wanted to go out in a paddock .
he ' ll tell us ,
dutton said .
i ' d rather not compete him until he ' s really ready . i want to get him to understand that he ' s not going to get in a starting gate anymore . he ' s got to remember the stuff i teach him at home when we go places with a lot of other horses and loudspeakers and things .
i don ' t know what it takes to do it at the level phillip does , but i always thought he could be that kind of horse ,
graham said .
it would be very cool to see him go on and do something , for him and to show that horses like him can go on and do things like this . he could be a great example .
of course , if it doesn ' t work out that paddock at fair hill will be there .

it rained on belmont day . it was cloudy on travers day . it rained on jockey club gold cup day . but this saturday is new york showcase day , and it looks like we’re going to get perfect autumn weather on the day that to me embodies fall racing in new york .
if we’re lucky , the trees up the backstretch and in the backyard will be wearing their colors , having shed just enough of them to create a satisfying crunch underfoot . it will be time for boots and sweaters . a flask of bourbon to ward off the belmont chill will be practically de rigeur .
in the clubhouse , grandstand , and backyard , we’ll celebrate new york . the new york winery glenora will offer a tasting in the clubhouse lobby , and nearly two dozen new york crafters and food purveyors will set up in the grandstand , featuring local products including cheese , jams and fruit spreads for sampling and purchase , as well as hand - crafted items for sale .
out in the back , an autumn carnival will feature a scarecrow hunt , a hayride and pumpkin patch , face painting , a pumpkin carver , and pony rides . all activities are free for children 12 and under .
and on the track , we’ll celebrate new york breeding and racing , with seven stakes races for new york - breds , headlined by the empire classic .
some aptly named horses have won races on these days over the years , beginning in 1980 , when adirondack holme took the empire stakes for two - year - olds . in 1994 , the empire stakes became the empire classic .
adirondack holme was bred and raced by assunta louis farm in friends lake in the adirondacks . a star on the new york circuit , he was named champion new york - bred two - year - old in 1980 and champion new york - bred three - year - old the following year .
in 1988 , caroline street won the mohawk for two - year - old fillies . while her racing career was undistinguished , her name is not : the street in saratoga that it recalls is a mainstay of spa city revelers .
in 1992 , argyle lake won the hudson , and a little research reveals more than echoes of racing history in his name . in 1882 , august belmont – yes , the same august belmont for whom the stakes is named – built the argyle hotel in babylon , new york , on long island ; argyle lake was on its grounds . a magnificent edifice , the hotel was apparently a misguided exercise in opulence , as it was demolished in 1904 .
i’d like to think that itaka is somehow related to ithaca , but i can’t find any evidence to support that theory . nonetheless , itaka is among the most consistent performers in new york - bred stakes races . in 1993 he won the joseph a . gimma as a two - year - old and returned the next year to win the empire classic . he was second in the classic in 1995 .
but it was the fudge that made the day ! it was a wonderful celebration of the season ; so glad i went .

berkshire stud bred and denali sold hessonite wins the cupecoy’s joy s . at belmont
as kentucky derby winner animal kingdom resumes training for his four - year - old campaign next year , trainer graham motion hopes eclipse award voters don ' t forget about the colt ' s three - year - old season , which was cut short by an injury in the belmont stakes .
“ultimately , he won the classic race that everyone wants to win in what was his first start on the dirt . i think people have overlooked that , ” motion tells the thoroughbred times . “he came back in his second start ever on dirt and was just beaten in the preakness , and then we all know what happened in the belmont .
“i just can’t believe that ultimately his record doesn’t say something . he’s beaten these horses like stay thirsty . i think people were so quick to jump on that horse’s bandwagon when he finished behind us in the derby , and i think ultimately the derby is still the classic that everyone wants to win . i think it’s unfair for people to hold it against him that he wasn’t able to race for the rest of the season , and really even in the belmont he ran a pretty remarkable race . [ animal kingdom ] is very highly rated internationally , and i think that’s something that also has been overlooked a bit . ”
yesterday we showcased the latest international thoroughbred rankings , which included the world top twenty . in what is quite the most emphathic recognition to date of the quality of horse racing in this country , all of sun classique ( the highest rated filly in the world ) , jay peg and pocket power weighed in on the list , and by our reckoning , that would put these horses in the top 0 , 5 % of the world’s best runners , in a population of racehorses across the world in excess of 250 000 .
it’s a sobering thought then , that in very recent times , both jay peg and pocket power went down to summerhill - breds , in the case of jay peg when dynamite mike “smoked” him in the kzn guineas , and in pocket power’s case , when imbongi ran him down at weight - for - age in last weekend’s drill hall stakes .
there are all sorts of arguments about where these horses were in preparation terms at the time of their defeats , but there is one incontrovertible fact about the truth . malice may attack it , ignorance may deride it , but in the end , there it is !
