11/03/2026. Laghat il cavallo normalmente diverso (Enrico Querci // Fasig-Tipton, Forced Entry, British Isles, Brant, Crude Velocity & Alex Lieblong video

 

“Buongiorno, molti di voi mi conoscono, sono Enrico Querci giornalista ippico e scrittore.

Nel 2014 ho pubblicato il mio primo libro, un romanzo dal titolo Laghat il cavallo normalmente diverso. Il libro ha avuto un successo inaspettato ed è arrivato alla sesta ristampa.

Nel 2018 è uscita la versione illustrata di questa storia Laghat un cavallo speciale con le tavole realizzate da Vincenzo Basiricò. Entrambe i libri pubblicati da Pacini Editore di Pisa.

Ma non è tutto, perché alla fine di novembre è stato presentato al Torino Film Festival il film Laghat un sogno impossibile, liberamente tratto dal romanzo. Interprete principale il giovane Lorenzo Guidi affiancato da attori del calibro di Edoardo PesceCarlotta Antonelli Hippolyte Girardot. La regia di Michael Zampino, prodotto da Alba Produzioni e Videa Cinema.

In dicembre il film è uscito anche nelle sale cinematografiche, purtroppo sacrificato dalla programmazione natalizia.

In attesa che la programmazione prosegua su una piattaforma nazionale, c’è una novità.

Domenica 8 marzo è iniziato il Los Angeles Italia Film Festival.

Tra i film invitati ci sono campioni d’incasso come Buen Camino con Checco Zalone e altri realizzati da nomi importanti come quelli di Monica Guerritore, Mario Martone, Gabriele Salvatores, Paolo Virzì, Fabio de Luigi, Greta Scarano e altri ancora. Saranno proiettate fiction di successo come Sandokan e quelle sulla vita di Battiato e Cocciante. Il tutto all’ombra della commemorazione di Bernardo Bertolucci.

Assieme a tutte queste stelle del cinema nazionale, ci sarà anche Laghat un sogno impossibile.

È certamente un grande onore che questo film venga proiettato a Hollywood nel prestigioso TCL Chinese Theatre.

Questo avverrà venerdì 13 marzo alle 22:00 ora locale. Se vi interessa, l’ingresso è gratuito!

Un cordiale saluto a tutte e tutti voi.
Enrico Querci

Alex Lieblong

Joins the TDN Writers’ Room

  After another big week of Kentucky Derby preps and with the Dubai World Cup on the horizon, there was plenty to unpack in this week’s TDN Writers’ Room presented by Keeneland. The trio of Zoe Cadman, Randy Moss, and T.D. Thornton broke down the weekend’s biggest performances

 

  Alex Lieblong was this week’s Gainesway Guest of the Week. The Arkansas native and veteran horse owner joined the show to discuss his homebred Reef Runner (The Big Beast), who is currently in Dubai training up for a bid in the G1 Al Quoz Sprint Stakes on March 28 following his win in last month’s G2 1351 Turf Sprint in Saudi Arabia. Despite regional tensions, Lieblong confirmed he and his wife, JoAnn, are ready for the trip.

 

  “Somebody said that they can hear missiles going over and this and that, but it hasn’t bothered [Reef Runner],” Lieblong said. “They say he’s actually training a tick better than he was in Saudi Arabia. We’re planning on going if they open up the airspaces.”

 

  Also on this week’s show, which is also sponsored by the PHBA1/ST TVthe KTOB, and West Point Thoroughbreds, Moss shared that the Fastest Horse of the Week, presented by WinStar, was Joe Sheisty (Air Force Blue), who earned a 104 Beyer Speed Figure in the Big Daddy Stakes. The team took a look at the GI Santa Anita Handicap, won by British Isles (Justify). After several scratches, the Big Cap only garnered five entries. Turning to international waters, the crew debated the potential American contingent for the Dubai World Cup and reflected on the career of trainer John Kimmel following his recently announced retirement.
