mont tremblant ( foaled 1946 ) was a french-bred , british-trained thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1952 cheltenham gold cup .

originally trained in france , he was switched to a british stable and made an immediate impact , defeating a strong field to win the gold cup as a six-year-old .

in the following season he finished third in the king george vi chase and fourth in the gold cup before producing arguably his best performance by running second under top weight in the grand national .

his later career was repeatedly interrupted by injury .

halloween was switched to chasing in the autumn of 1951 , where he was expected to continue his progression . however , he was a quirky individual and did not respond well to his new jockeys . in his first two races at hurst and newbury , he unseated both dick francis and d . dartnall before he was reunited with captain smalley , who knew how to ride the horse effectively . halloween and smalley won two chases for amateur riders before wightman offered the ride to fred winter . winter consulted with smalley and realised that halloween hated being pushed about by his jockey . with that in mind , winter left halloween to make his own running , and the pair won the hurst park grand national trial by eight lengths . as winter clearly understood the horse , wightman offered him a retainer of £250 to ride halloween .

hi . we are a family of 5 looking to do a little horseback riding next week in the mont tremplant area . the options through the activity center seem a little expensive compared to some of the local options . can anyone suggest which is the best value for horsebak riding in the region ? we don ' t mind driving up to an hour but we also do not speak french . thanks !
for the most famous and well - known reason to visit mont tremblant during the summer , this resort gives you an incomparable golfing experience . these two courses make you choose between what they called , the devil or the giant . le diable this 7 , 056 - yard course designed by master architects michael hurdzan and dana fry will make you drive for your passion . with a par of 71 and an 18 - hole championship course , there is no question why it was rated the best golf destination outside of ontario in 2008 by toronto sun . le géant this 6 , 838 - yard course designed by thomas mcbroom in 1995 makes it hard to concentrate by the aesthetic view of the laurentians . after one experiences this course , he or she will realize why it was rated best golf resort in canada by scoregolf magazine in 2005 .
third , and perhaps most important , snow pack in the area is decent — sometimes stellar — through march . my visit there in march of 2012 was a cornucopia of winter conditions . while vermont , ontario and new hampshire were sweltering in a weirdly timed heatwave , it was snowing at mont - sainte - anne and le massif . we skied boot - top powder almost daily and were forced to dig out the family van more than once .
one of the grand - daddies of quebec skiing is mont - sainte - anne ( msa ) . its 625 - metre vertical and 67 ski runs make it a force in the ski world — and it attracts huge numbers of visitors come from europe and britain . it’s known best for its slick , race - steep runs on the north side , and its foret noir ( blackforest ) gladed section on the south side — both worth the price of admission .
four ten was a bay gelding standing 17 hands high , with a white blaze bred by his owner alan strange , a dairy farmer from spetisbury in dorset . he was probably the best horse sired by blunderbuss , a once - raced son of blandford . four ten ' s dam undue praise was a daughter of the ascot gold cup winner felicitation and a female - line descendant of mabille , the foundation mare of thoroughbred family 2 - o . she had been considered useless and was scheduled to be put down before being bought by strange .
first , the ski hills surrounding the historic city — mont - sainte - anne , stoneham and le massif — boast enough diversity that regardless of skier ability , there’s compelling terrain . long , meandering , easy - to - conquer runs snake down the sides of all three resorts . but there are also steep slopes and glades galore for experts . perhaps most motivating , the runs are so long ( 5 km at le massif ) that a single trail can have it all : steeps , bumps , smooth runouts and twisty bits — all stuff that keeps skiing and snowboarding interesting .
in the following season four ten was trained by alec kirkpatrick near andover , hampshire . he finished third to halloween in the king george vi chase and showed good form in january as he led from the start to win the walter hyde chase at kempton park racecourse , conceding 35 pounds to the runner - up . commenting on the horse ' s tendency to jump to the left , kirkpatrick explained that four ten would be better suited by a left - handed track and would probably contest both the gold cup and the grand national . he returned for a third gold cup in 1956 and was well - fancied but after leading early in the race he finished unplaced behind limber hill . in the following year he started a 50 / 1 outsider for the 1957 grand national and fell at the third last .

there’s no question quebec has its own unique quality as a ski and snowboard destination .
the laurentians and eastern townships are the very spots skiing was born in eastern north america . but quebec city stands out in 2013 , particularly for the so called
rubber - tire
ski set and families seeking a march break ski getaway . there are several reasons for this .
finally , quebec city is a spectacular and educational apres - ski family draw . wandering the old city’s cobbled , snow - laden streets , sampling fondue , touring the improbable hotel de glace ( ice hotel ) all served as my kids’ first introduction to a european - style winter wonderland experience .
topping the list : quebec city’s annual red bull crashed ice event , a cross between hockey , skiing and boardercross that thunders down the steep streets of old quebec during ontario’s march break . this year’s event is march 14 - 16 ( urltoken ) .
in march , msa is less about the hardcore and more about family fun . spring bumps build up on the mountain’s steeper faces ; meandering top - to - bottom runs are racecar - worthy . but the best spring family feature is a traditional slopeside sugar shack , dolling out maple taffy on snow so sticky and sweet it makes your teeth ache .
msa is the ideal resting point from which to access all three ski areas ; it ‘s about 30 minutes from quebec city , stoneham and le massif . see urltoken .
msa’s sister resort is stoneham ( both owned by resorts of the canadian rockies ) . as the closest to quebec city , it is known for its day - skier market , and is popular with snowboarders , and park and pipers . music blasts from slopeside speakers ; the apres - ski ( bar ) scene is consistently voted tops in ski country , and it hosts world cup snowboarding events nearly every season . as a result , its halfpipes are world class , and not surprising , stoneham is a hit with teens .
the shortest of the three , stoneham is still no slouch with 420 metres of vertical and 39 runs spread over no less than four mountain faces ! the slopeside stoneham hotel has 60 rooms and there are fully equipped condos at the base of the resort . see urltoken .
about 30 minutes past msa — and likely the most exciting resort on the canadian ski map right now — le massif is the lovechild of daniel gauthier , cirque de soleil cofounder . the entrepreneur began pouring money into the charlevoix property about 10 years ago and the investment’s really paying off for skiers and riders .
everything is top notch , from the lifts and lodges to the grooming , the view and the perfect pitch of the runs . and it’s the kind of place the whole family can ride together . two family members can ski a high - rolling run , while others dip into the endless , well - gladed trees . skiers meet up at various trail heads , then start all over again . with a 770 - metre vertical , le massif has astounding views of the st . lawrence and its ice - crashing freighters . to be frank , the view is distracting .
the $ 12 table d’hote in the cafeteria is always gourmet — think tenderloin in maple syrup or trout and shrimp flan with orange hollandaise instead of a cheeseburger .
olympic mogul skier jean - luc brassard — le massif’s ambassador — is often around to shake hands or ski with you . and the new sledding ( rodelling ) excursion down a closed - to - skiers section of the mountain is exhilarating fun for kids aged 10 and over .
le massif has just launched its hotel la ferme for near - slopeside accommodation . gauthier is planning cirque de soleil - type shows to grace the theatre at this rustically elegant , eco - conscious hotel . there’s also a plethora of chalets for rent nearby . see urltoken .

halloween passed galloway braes on the run in and ‘looked like he could go round again’ .
jockey fred winter broke his leg and was out of action for most of the year . deprived of the rider who knew him best , halloween won only his debut , beating former cheltenham gold cup winner cottage rake ( then a 14 - year - old ) over two miles at wincanton .

halloween ran three more times that season in the sussex chase ( second to gay donald while conceding over a stone ) , welsh grand national ( fourth under m . scudamore ) and the prestigious queen elizabeth steeplechase at hurst park , where galloway braes recorded his second consecutive win in the race and ran the fastest three - mile - chase ever recorded .
the autumn saw halloween reunited with fred winter . after a second in the grand sefton trial handicap , the pair won the charlton park handicap chase at cheltenham and the ewell chase at sandown .
gold cup second mariner’s log , and prolific - winning chaser crudwell , halloween won , beating galloway braes by six lengths .

leviprora inops , the longhead flathead , is a species of flathead endemic to reefs in the coastal waters of southern australia .

this species grows to a length of 29.2 centimetres ( 11.5 in ) sl .

this species is the only known member of its genus .

leviprora inops

leviprora inops is common within seagrass beds ( vanderklift et al . 2007 ) .
leviprora inops ranges from kangaroo island off south australia , to shark bay in western australia ( l . knapp pers . comm . 2008 ) .
minden pictures stock photos - longhead flatfish ( leviprora inops ) buried in sand for protection , edithburgh , south australia , australia - john lewis / . . .
justification : leviprora inops has been assessed as least concern due to its broad distribution and the lack of significant threat processes across its range . further research and monitoring should be carried out to ensure that possible threats do not significantly impact l . inops in the future .
leviprora inops is a predatory species most commonly found at depths of less than 10 m , in seagrass beds . there are also some unverified occurrences of this species at depths of 50 m in the great australian bight ( j . baker pers . comm . 2008 ) .
there are no known species - specific conservation measures in place for leviprora inops . however , its distribution may coincide with a number of mpa designations , including the great australian bight marine park . further research and monitoring of the threat processes and habitat status of this species is needed .

does not appear to be a commercial species and nor is it specifically targeted by the sport fishery ; however there are records of this species being taken by recreational anglers and spearfishers ( e . g . in southern western australia ) ( j . baker pers . comm . 2009 ) . the habitat of
may be somewhat threatened in bays where seagrasses have been degraded by coastal discharges and developments , but there are no data specific to this species ( j . baker pers . comm . 2009 ) . it is therefore unlikely that
this errata assessment has been created because the map was accidentally left out of the version published previously .
