From Hostage Crisis to Winner's Circle: They Got Curry By Mig Feuser and Chris Melton / Adair Progress Sometimes there are coincidences -- events nearly 14 years apart, both highlights in their own time, connected in the strangest of ways. One of them happened just a few weeks ago. So, without further ado, let's get into the story. Part I: The Race It was a sunny day on January 22 around Philadelphia. Forty-eight degrees and barely a cloud in the sky. At Parx Race Course in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, a three-year-old filly owned by Super C Stables of Mike Coombs was ready to run. And it would not just be her first race -- it would immediately become the first win of her young career. By 4 1/4 lengths, the filly defeated the field, and on the big board her name stood at the top: Winner: They Got Curry!

New art exhibit showcases strength, memory and identity Natalie Jackson's 'Baroque Beauties' to be featured through April 10, 2026, in Lindsey Wilson Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery. By Duane Bonifer Works that explore timeless beauty by a nationally renowned artist from the Midwest are now on display in the Lindsey Wilson University Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery. "Baroque Beauties" features 14 images by artist Natalie Jackson of Peoria, Illinois. Her works are on display through April 10, 2026. "Through digital photography and collage, I seek to honor the depth of spirit that endures beyond the fleeting and the fashionable," said Jackson. "These images are not only portraits of subjects, but reflections of strength, memory and identity -- woven with textures and layers that echo the stories we carry. In every frame, I challenge the narratives imposed upon us, redefining how we are seen and, more importantly, how we see ourselves." Patrons will be able to meet Jackson at a virtual event at 5pmCT on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, and at 2pmCT on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, in the W.W. Slider Humanities Center. A reception with refreshments and music will be held following the March 24 reception. All events are free and open to the public.
