<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">__Additional Notes on Kentucky__ From Liz Tobey, Project 100 Researcher

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">- One clip shows a dark brown horse being ridden on a path by a fence at a farm. When I saw this video clip, I immediately recognized the horse and the farm. The horse is Seattle Slew, one of racing's greatest champions, who won the 1977 Triple Crown series (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes). The farm is Three Chimneys Farm which is located in Midway, Kentucky, outside Lexington. I had visited Three Chimneys Farm in 1996 and saw Seattle Slew in his paddock. On the tour, I learned that all the stallions at the farm were ridden each morning on a path surrounding the paddocks. So the video clip shows Seattle Slew being ridden during his morning exercise. Searching on You.tube, I came across a video clip from the ESPN Documentary, //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Jewels of the Triple Crown // (New York: CBS/Fox Video Sports: 1989), narrated by sports commentator, Jim McKay. At the very end of the video segment on Seattle Slew, we see the stallion being ridden at Three Chimneys. I believe this is the clip that Paik used in //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Electronic Superhighway //.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">- Another clip in the Kentucky feed shows the running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. I recognized one of the horses in the clip, the gray filly, Winning Colors, who won the 1988 Kentucky Derby (she was one of only three females in history to capture the Derby), as well as the second-place finisher, Forty Niner.
