ART & HORSE RACING
SAINT WENDRED'S, HAMILTON ROAD, NEWMARKET
Newmarket racehorse trainer Ilka Gansera-Leveque is continuing to develop her on site art gallery in her own Newmarket racing yard. Ilka displays work from a variety of domestic and international artists, alongside the thoroughbred racehorses in her Hamilton Road stables.
For Ilka, it’s a natural move. “I love art and I want to exhibit some of my favourite artists alongside the real thing, the horses we have here,” she said. “This is art that makes you feel good!
“Staging it here in the stable brings to life all that’s beautiful about the horses that we are lucky enough to handle on a daily basis.
“There is a wide range of art for sale from horses to dogs, nature, seascapes and other sports such as cycling. I would like to think that this might become a regular feature to visit on big racing days.”
