FAKIR D’OUDAIRIES FINALLY landed the big pot his consistent efforts have deserved in recent seasons when bolting up in the Marsh Chase at Aintree.

What do you see or hear that connects you to the rest of the living world? And what can you do to make your home even more welcoming for wildlife? If you have a yard, a garden, some woods, a stream, a neighborhood green space, or even some flower pots on a balcony, you can improve wildlife habitat at your home. And in Conserving Carolina’s 2021 Habitat at Home Photo Contest, you can share the wild things that you see at your place.
Conserving Carolina kicked off the photo contest on April 1 and it will run through May 15. The local conservation nonprofit is looking for photos or videos that show any of these three things: 1) native plants in gardens or landscaping 2) projects to improve habitat where you live, or 3) wildlife that you see at or near your home. Wildlife can include both small and large animals so it could be a praying mantis or a black bear. You can enter as many times as you like during the six-week contest.

The progressive eight year-old gelding defied the penalty for his recent win with another wide-margin success. James’ brother Sean Bowen took second place on Robin of Sherwood, trained by David Rees, with Donnie Brasco, trained by Kim Bailey, ridden by Chester Williams finishing in third.
