Capote (garment)

A capote or capot (/ka.pɔt/) is a long coat with a hood.

From the early days of the North American fur trade, both natives and French Canadian voyageurs made wool blankets into capotes, which were perfectly suited to Canada's cold winters. They served as winter outerwear for the habitants and voyageurs of New France and the Métis of the Red River Colony.

The Hudson’s Bay Company also sold capotes, called blanket coats or Hudson Bay coats, made out of Hudson's Bay point blankets.

Habitant capote

In the early 1600s French sailors traded their capotes to the Micmac in North America and by 1619 the French habitants were also wearing capotes. Fifty years later the habitants wore an altered form of the capote possibly based on the then fashionable justacorps or on the French military uniforms of soldiers stationed in New France at the time such as the Carignan-Salières Regiment. The altered knee length version had no buttons and was worn with a military sash (Ceinture fléchée). The habitant capot was no longer the sailors' capot nor the soldiers' capote but something distinct combining features from both.

Capote (horse)

Capote (1984–2007) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. He was best known for his achievements in 1986 when he was voted American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt.

Background

Bred by Franklin Groves' North Ridge Farm near Lexington, Kentucky, Capote was out of the mare Too Bald, a daughter of the 1960 American Champion Older Male Horse, Bald Eagle. He was sired by the 1977 U.S. Triple Crown champion, Seattle Slew. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas acquired Capote for $800,000 at the 1985 Keeneland July yearling sale for the partnership of Barry A. Beal, Lloyd R. French, Jr. and prominent horseman Eugene V. Klein.

Racing career

At age two in 1986, Capote made four starts, winning three times. He won the Grade I Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita Park, then on the same track, he competed in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile against a field that included Gulch, winner of that year's Grade I Belmont Futurity and Hopeful Stakes; Polish Navy, who had won the Grade I Champagne and Cowdin Stakes; future American Horse of the Year and Hall of Famer Alysheba; and Bet Twice, who went on to win the 1987 Belmont Stakes. Ridden by Laffit Pincay, Jr., Capote took the lead early in the race and held it throughout to win by 1¼ lengths.
