In 2021, horse racing's most recognizable face - Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert - had five horses that failed postrace drug tests, including that year's Kentucky Derby winner, Medina Spirit. While the incident was a major scandal in the thoroughbred racing world, it was only the latest in a long string of drug-related infractions among high-caliber athletes. Stories about systemic rule-breaking and 'doping culture' - both human and equine - have put world-class athletes and their trainers under intense scrutiny. Each newly discovered instance of abuse forces fans to question the participants' integrity, and in the case of horse racing, their humanity. In 'Unnatural Ability', Milton C. Toby addresses the historical and contemporary context of the thoroughbred industry's most pressing issue.

"Calumet, Claiborne, King Ranch-these iconic names are among the owners and breeders revered by Thoroughbred industry professionals and racing fans around the world. As campaigners of many of the 20th century's top racehorses, their prestige has been confirmed by decades of competition in the Triple Crown, the most esteemed series in American Thoroughbred racing. Even with these substantial legacies, their success is measured against the benchmark set by one of racing's earliest dynasties, the historic Belair Stud. The story of this legendary operation began with William Woodward's childhood memories of grand days at the racetrack, inspiring dreams of breeding a champion or two of his own. During a year working for the American Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Woodward frequented English racetracks, rekindling that childhood dream of breeding and owning champion Thoroughbreds. Woodward turned those dreams into reality, building Belair Stud on his family's Maryland estate, launching what would become the preeminent Thoroughbred breeding and racing empire in America and chasing racing's biggest prizes in both the United States and England. The defining moment for Belair came when Woodward bred the imported stallion Sir Gallahad III to his mare Marguerite. Their colt, Gallant Fox, became only the second horse in history to win the Preakness Stakes, the Kentucky Derby, and the Belmont Stakes in the same year. In 1935, the farm cemented the Triple Crown as the gold standard for three-year-olds when Gallant Fox's son, Omaha, duplicated his sire's trio of victories, a sweep that sealed the farm's legacy and carved its name in the annals of racing history. In The Foxes of Belair: Gallant Fox, Omaha, and the Quest for the Triple Crown, Jennifer Kelly examines the racing legacies of Gallant Fox and Omaha and how William Woodward's service to racing during the 20th century forever changed the landscape of the American Thoroughbred industry"--

Der Historiker Reinhart Koselleck hat neben seinem schriftlichen Nachlass und einer bemerkenswerten Fotosammlung auch eine Anzahl von Figuren und anderen Gegenständen hinterlassen. Seine Sammlung umfasst rund 140 Objekte unterschiedlichster Art: Zinnsoldaten, Büsten und Miniaturdenkmäler, vor allem aber Pferde- und Reiterfiguren. Die Beiträger*innen verbinden die erste Dokumentation der außergewöhnlichen Sammlung mit einer wissenschaftlichen Bestandsaufnahme. Sie gehen der Frage nach, welche Rolle die gesammelten Objekte in Kosellecks Denkraum spielten und welche neuen Zugänge zu historischer Medialität und zur Frage nach dem Potenzial von Geschichtsdingen sie eröffnen können.
