MaddieWright is the2013Steeplechasechildambassador.SUBMITTED

Maddie Wright spent the firstthree months of her life in and out ofsurgeries, hooked to tubes and equip-ment in the neonatal intensive careunit where she fiercely battled sick-nesses. Fortunately, that NICU was atthe Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hos-pital at Vanderbilt.

Today, she looks like a typical 5-year-old, with a bow in her prettybrown hair and a contagious smile.The kindergartner at Barfield Ele-mentary in Murfreesboro is thisyear’s Child Ambassador to the Iro-quois Steeplechase. The Iroquoissupports the vital work of MonroeCarell Jr. Children’s Hospital and hasraised more than $9 million over thepast 20 years.

Maddie’s story began before birth.About 18 weeks into the pregnancy,LeanneWright learned her childwould be born with cystic fibrosis.Since that time, Vanderbilt essential-ly has become the family’s second

home.Maddie’s health is good overall at

this point, although the past eightmonths have brought sinus and lunginfections, Wright says.

“We spend at least two monthseach year at Vanderbilt, and we’vegrown to love and cherish the cysticfibrosis staff and the Children’s Hos-pital staff,” she says. “The nurseshave watchedMaddie grow eachyear. We see themmore than most ofour family!”

A vibrant child, Maddie lovespainting pottery, visiting the library,gymnastics, Sunday School — andriding horses, of course. She alsoloves her Nana’s meatballs. She as-pires to be a veterinarian someday.

Maddie puts it this way: “Chil-dren’s Hospital is like being home,just not at your house. It is where youget better, and when you get to leaveand go home, you’re like a brand-newself.”

Constructed as a freestandinghospital in 2004, Monroe Carell Jr.Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt is

nationally recognized, not only as oneof the nation’s premier providers ofpediatric health care services butalso as a top-tier teaching and re-search facility. The hospital was con-structed and equipped specificallyfor children. The care is family-cen-tered because the staff recognizesthat family support is a critical com-ponent of positive outcomes.

The honorary co-chair of thisyear’s Steeplechase is Dr. Meg Rush,who has enjoyed a long career atVanderbilt University Medical Cen-ter. In addition to conducting re-search during her 23 years with Van-derbilt, Rush led its Neonatal Fellow-ship Program for 10 years and servedas chief of staff of the Monroe CarellJr. Children’s Hospital and as actingchair of the pediatrics department.

Her research focused on the roleof Vitamin A in lung development, aswell as lung injury and repair. Shehas been highly involved in healthpolicy and served as co-chair of Van-derbilt University’s Medical EthicsCommittee for seven years.

2011Years of foxhunting have

given artist Lee Baskerville apriceless perspective from thesaddle that would be impos-sible to convey otherwise. Hedoesn’t just paint horses; heunderstands them.

Baskerville’s art sports acertain verisimilitude becausehe paints scenes from a life heknows. He understands equinetension and repose and is ableto translate it from life to two-dimensional Belgian linencanvas.

Baskerville’s oil painting“Kinetic Energy” is the officialimage of 2013 Iroquois Steeple-chase.

Dwight Hall, chairman ofthe Iroquois Steeplechase RaceCommittee, was immediatelydrawn to Baskerville’s talent.

“He used just enough detail

to capture the essence of themoment — the intense feelingof energy in a horse’s stride,”Hall said.

The Virginia-based artisthas always appreciated equinepaintings that highlight thesheen of a horse’s coatand the anatomy ofthe animal itself. Soit is no surprisethat in “KineticEnergy,” Basker-ville depicts thejockey as sec-ondary to thehorse.

“The horse’slegs are reversedfrom the way horsesare typically pictured inprofile, but it is a legitimaterepresentation of a horse’s gaitnonetheless,” the artist said ina recent interview. “I chose itto add a bit more tension andsnap to the pose.”

The horse and jockey arefictional, although Baskervillesays he was inspired somewhatby the late Iroquois championArcadius.

The 30-by-40-inch paintingis in a gilt Florentine frame

that uses a custom paleantique Italian gold.

“Kinetic Energy”was specificallypainted to repro-duce effectivelyover myriadmedia, a skillBaskervillelearned throughyears as a com-

mercial illustrator.“Kinetic Energy”

is for sale, and biddersmay call the Steeplechaseoffice at 615-591-2991 for moreinformation.

Baskerville is also a societyportraitist who acquires com-missions by referrals versus

advertising.“I only work for people

whom I get to know personal-ly,” he says. “Some of my big-gest deals are closed simplywith an old-fashioned gentle-man’s handshake.”

The son of a hunter and

safari leader, Baskerville soldhis first work at age 12. Today,his equine, landscapes, por-traits and still lifes can befound in American, English,Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese,South African and Zimbabwe-an collections.

2011So you have your tickets and tailgating spot all lined up, but are youreally ready for the 72nd running of the Iroquois Steeplechase? Hereare some last-minute tips on what to take with you for the big day.

WHAT TO BRING

LARGE TRASH BAGS. Keep your area clean;leave it as you found it.

TALL, COOL BEVERAGES. Beer and otheralcoholic beverages are a part of tailgatingfor many. Also make sure you include bot-tled water, sodas and juices.

PLENTY OF FOOD. You want things to noshon that don’t require a full set of silverwareand can sit outside in the sun all day withoutlooking like a disgusting pile of goo. Forgetthe egg salad or anything made with mayo(unless you have a cooler for food only).

FOLDING CHAIRS AND A TABLE. Afterseveral hours in the sun, you will want aplace to rest your tootsies.

SUNSCREEN AND SHADE FROM THE SUN.Slather on the SPF 15. The last thing youwant is to look like a lobster an hour into the

races. Also, bring along a tent or overhang forthe back of your tailgate in case of rain.

ID. If you want to imbibe, you must have yourproof of age.

WHAT TO LEAVE AT HOME

GLASS AND KEGS. Glass containers and kegswill be confiscated at the entrance gate.

YOUR DOG, SNAKE OR IGUANA. Nothingworse than looking for a python in the nexttailgater’s engine! No pets are allowed.

YOUR RV. This is not Bonnaroo. Bigger is notalways better.

PARKING AND DETOURS: See pages 12-13 fora map of the grounds and specific traffic in-formation.

Step one in planningyour perfect picnic forthe Iroquois Steeple-chase: Turn off FoodNetwork, for crying outloud.

Go ahead. Don’t beafraid. Bid “adieu” toGiada. Say “ta ta!” to Inaand give a big “bye y’all”to Paula.

Now, turn your atten-tion to the real purveyorsof local cuisine. Nash-ville’s ownDanielleKates, KristenWinstonand Emily Frith havecatered countless upscaleaffairs over the yearsand packedmany a boxlunch for Steeplechases.

Danielle Kates, ownerof dKates, provides thiswise counsel for Steeple-chase hostesses and tail-gaters. “You can’t gowrong,” she says, “withfried chicken and open-face tomato sandwiches.”

She recommends sup-plementing those choiceswith a ham-and-chivecheese biscuit, a roastedred potato Dijon saladand perhaps a bright slawmade with shreddedbroccoli and apples in-stead of cabbage. Adddeviled eggs to themenu,using the traditionalrecipe and a second ver-sion that incorporatespimento cheese into thestuffing and bacon jamon top. A brownie withchocolate ganache oreven banana pudding canround out the repast.

“Makemint simplesyrup, bring your bestbottle ofWoodford, silverjulep cups and ice from

Sonic tomake up somemeanmint juleps,” Katesadded.

If people get themun-chies in the late after-noon, have a stash ofStilton, crackers andstrawberries at hand.

KristenWinston, ofthe eponymous cateringcompany, has a simpleSteeplechasemantra:“cool, fresh and ready toeat.”

Her favorite picnicmenu, components ofwhich should be neatlytucked into a cooler withice packs, is cold slicedtenderloin with herb oil,shaved Parmesan andarugula pesto pasta withgrilled veggies, freshfruit and a crusty ba-guette or yeast rolls.

For dessert, try home-made cookies or lemonsquares.

“Chocolate is not asforgiving in the heat!”Winston reminds.

Emily Frith’s sugges-tions for Steeplechasevittles begin with a ther-mos of a delicious coldsoup, such as a vichys-soise or curried squashserved in small plasticcups. The owner of TheCornerMarket CateringCo. notes that muffalettasandwiches, pasta andrice salads and smalltomato tarts travel well.

She advises leaving athome green salads, whichwill wilt; shrimp in theirshells, which aremessy;and any dessert withicing that couldmelt.

All of these catererswill take box orders forthe Steeplechase, so trythem for the ultimatelocal flavor.

the foodBUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKENMakes 4 to 6 servings 1. Cut each chicken into 10 pieces:

2 legs, 2 thighs, 4 breast quarters and2 wings. Pour the brine into a con-tainer large enough to hold thechicken pieces, add the chicken andrefrigerate 12 hours (no longer, orthe chicken may become too salty).2. Remove the chicken from thebrine and rinse under cold water,removing any herbs or spices stickingto the skin. Pat dry with paper tow-els or let air-dry. Let rest at roomtemperature for 11⁄2 hours, or until itcomes to room temperature.3. If you have two large pots (about6 inches deep) and a lot of oil, youcan cook the dark and white meat atthe same time. If not, cook the darkmeat first, then turn up the heat andcook the white meat. No matterwhat size pot you have, the oilshould not come more than one-third of the way up the sides of thepot. Fill the pot with at least 2 inchesof peanut oil and heat to 320 de-grees. Set a cooling rack over a bak-ing sheet. Line a second baking sheetwith parchment paper.4.Meanwhile, combine all the coat-

ing ingredients and divide evenlyinto two large bowls. Pour the but-termilk into a third bowl and seasonwith salt and pepper. Set up a dip-ping station: the chicken pieces, onebowl of coating, the bowl of butter-milk, the second bowl of coating,and the parchment-lined bakingsheet.5. Just before frying, dip the chickenthighs into the first bowl of coating,turning to coat and patting off theexcess. Dip them into the buttermilk,allowing the excess to run back intothe bowl. Dip them in the secondbowl of coating. Transfer to theparchment-lined pan.6. Carefully lower the thighs into thehot oil. Adjust the heat as necessaryto return the oil to the proper tem-perature. Fry for 2 minutes, thencarefully move the chicken piecesaround in the oil and continue to fry,monitoring the oil temperature andturning the pieces as necessary foreven cooking, for 11 to 12 minutes,until the chicken is a deep goldenbrown, cooked through and verycrisp. Meanwhile, coat the chicken

drumsticks and transfer to the parch-ment-lined baking sheet.7. Transfer the cooked thighs to thecooling rack skin-side-up and let restwhile you fry the remaining chicken.Make sure that the oil is at the cor-rect temperature, and cook thechicken drumsticks. When the drum-sticks are done, lean themmeat-side-up against the thighs to drain, thensprinkle the chicken with fine seasalt.8. Heat the oil to 340 degrees. Coatthe chicken breasts and wings. Care-fully lower the chicken breasts intothe hot oil and fry for 7 minutes, oruntil golden brown, cooked throughand crisp. Transfer to the rack, sprin-kle with salt, and turn skin-side-up.Cook the wings for 6 minutes, oruntil golden brown and cookedthrough. Transfer the wings to therack and turn off the heat.9.

2011

A scene captured in sporting art, the spectacle isas much universal as it is synonymous with the Iro-quois Steeplechase. A hunter on horseback— clad inhunting scarlets — trots confidently down the home-stretch of the Iroquois track surrounded by a largepack of exuberant hounds.

It is the Parade of the Hounds, and it’s one of themost famous parts of the Iroquois Steeplechase.

For the second consecutive year, the LongreenFoxhounds — a pack originating in Memphis —willcapture the attention of many as they show off theirbest sporting strut.

The Longreen Foxhounds was established in1957 by Bart Mueller. They

maintain a pack of 25 to 30Penn-Marydel hounds, abreed named for thearea in which theywere developed—where Pennsylva-nia, Maryland andDelaware cometogether. Thehounds’ lineage goesback to hounds hunt-

ed by PresidentGeorge Washington and

given as a gift from theMarquis de Lafayette after the

American Revolution. Today, the LongreenFoxhounds hunting territory encompasses the north-western quadrant of Mississippi.

While the hounds’ usual outings involve their fa-vorite activity, hunting, today’s event is purely a timeto show off for the Nashville crowd.

By tradition, the Parade of the Hounds occursprior to the final race of the day, the Calvin Hough-land Iroquois (Gr. I) Hurdle Stakes. As in years past,about 15 foxhounds will make the trip down the finalstretch of the steeplechase course.

The audience is asked to hold its applause until theend of the parade so as not to overexcite the hounds.

If you think Steeple-chase fashion is all abouthats and neckties, you’vegot it all wrong. It’s aboutthe whole giddyup. Thegoal is to attain a look ofnatural elegance.

That said, your entireensemble from tip to toeshould be taken into con-sideration when dressingfor Nashville’s annualrite of spring.

Everyone knows thatsundresses are de ri-gueur for the ladies andloud pants and seersuck-er are apropos for thegents. So let’s focus ontwo key elements thatthe well-dressed Steeple-chaser must not leavehome without: sunglassesand proper footwear.

Sunglasses are essen-tial, regardless of weath-er. Of course, if the sky ispainted a brilliant azureonMay 11, then remem-bering to bring yourRay-Bans will be a no-brainer. But why worryabout donning this acces-sory if it’s cloudy? Threereasons come to mind.

First, this is your day

to rise above the hoi pol-loi and look like the ulti-mate jet-setter or social-ite. Nothing reads coolchic like a pair of sharpglasses. Think Bond,James Bond ... or Hep-burn, Audrey.

Second, half of theaction at the Steeple-chase occurs off thefield. With sunglasses,your people-watchingcan be unabashed as yougawk behind the clandes-tine cover of dark lenses.No one will know you arereally staring at a zanyhat, a Spanx-less mid-section or a rogue toupeeflapping in the breezeunbeknownst to the own-er. Moreover, your host-ess will never notice thatyou are ogling the sweetrepast in the neighboringbox instead of the morehumble offerings in yourown. You’ll just look aloofbehind your Oakleys.
