Cartoonist and long-time Thoroughbred industry executive Remi Bellocq’s first book, Horses Are Funny: The Racing World Through the Eyes of Remi Bellocq, highlights two decades of his insightful look at racing. The book features over 150 cartoons spotlighting the humorous side of horse racing, focusing on jockeys, trainers, owners, and breeders, as well as Bellocq’s point of view on big races and era events.

Horses Are Funny includes previously published cartoons in black and white and color, (including a few too naughty for print!), a collection of favorite cover drawings and posters, and a foreword by Bellocq’s father, legendary Daily Racing Form cartoonist Pierre “Peb” Bellocq.

Recently retired from the Equine Studies Program at Bluegrass Community and Technical College in Lexington, Bellocq’s previous industry roles include executive management positions at several racetracks, including Garden State Park, Longacres, Hollywood Park, and Santa Anita. In addition, Bellocq served for ten years as the head of the National Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association.
