EXCEPTIONNEL
Uniqcorn Exceptionnel was founded by Astrid v. Kernski a designer and
equestrian in the pursuit of creating high quality riding apparel. Now, this bespoke
company notably deemed the “Aston Martin of breeches” has molded its designing practices into a RTW
collection.We caught up with Astrid to learn more about Uniqcorn and what makes her
Q&Abrand so exceptional.
With designer Astrid von Krenski
Astrid, tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am a creative at heart and have been horse crazy since I was a little child.
I started riding when I was 8 and never stopped. I grew up in Hamburg, Germany, and Mastered in
Communication Design and Marketing and became an Art Director immediately afer graduation for
an internal magazine of the MCA Music Group. That position jump-started my career. Over the years
I have worked as a Creative Director for many national and international brands. Currently, I live in
Fort Worth, Texas and travel between Europe and the USA. If I’m not designing I train
and compete in dressage.
When UNIQCORN Exceptionnel launched in 2007 in Hamburg, Germany,
it quickly became the bespoke brand of choice offering equestrians custom-made breeches of
unrivaled quality. Why breeches specifically?
My design background includes product design and fashion illustration. My first collection was born from
a fashion concept, inspired by the various looks I’ve seen at my first National Horse Show. I believe in
“form follows function”, but the result has to be comfortable, and stylish, so I deconstructed riding @FOuLnLiqOcoWrnexceptionnel
breeches and jods, re-envisioned the design, and added classic fashion elements. I designed the
pant legs ergonomically to minimize creasing at the knee, reshaped the leather seat for a flattering uSnHiOqcPorn.com
and slimming silhouette, and developed a patented leather insert for the jodhpur leg opening
that made elastic foot straps unnecessary and visually lengthened the leg in the saddle.
Finally, I sourced the best fabrics, yarns, and leather. The collection became an over- night
sensation, and Uniqcorn Exceptionnel was born.
Recently, you took the brand in a newer direction relaunching in 2022 a ready-to-wear
capsule collection UNIQCORN Revive. What inspired you to go RTW?
I had to think about it for a while how I could make the brand more accessible without compromising the quality. What I found exciting
is the translation of the brand’s core values to become revived in a collection of essential statement pieces which can be worn many seasons.
UNIQCORN embodies a timeless approach to luxury performance clothes, true to our guiding principle “dare to be exceptional”
– thriving for excellence, pushing boundaries, and being unique in everything we create.
Where can we purchase your impeccable apparel?
The collection can be purchased online at uniqcorn.com and starting next year at a few selected retailers in the USA and Germany.

Q&A
Ashley Mailoux Former Project
Lead, 1/ST RACING/Gulfstream
Park. Statistician.
What are the basics of betting (from a
personal perspective) and how can everyone
be part of the excitement?
It’s easy for anyone to be part of the excitement
– all you need to do is pick a horse and grab a
couple of dollars! Betting can be as simple or
as difficult as one would like – you can play
a horse based on its name or your favorite
number, or you can look at a program and learn
how to “handicap” the races. The program, or
using a mobile betting tool like the 1/ST BET
app provides those wagering with an overview of each horse and their connections.
Tell us about the 1/ST BET app. Is it easy is to use?
The 1/ST BET App is a way to play the races “on the go.” It’s easy to sign up – once you make an account, you can fund
it using several different options such as bank transfer, credit card and even Venmo. From there, you can pick the track,
the race, and then select your bet. One of the many great features of using the 1/ST BET App is the ability to use artificial
intelligence factors before placing a bet. Struggling to select a horse? The AI betting selections find contenders ranked top to
bottom based on the top 10-most successful past factors in similar races.
What is the most important aspect to focus on when betting?
I think the odds are the most important aspect to focus on when betting. They change based on what those wagering think
about each horse. If the betting public really feels that a specific horse is going to win, typically the odds are “shorter”
because the horse is what we call a favorite. With that in mind, that means the payoff if you win is usually less. On the other
side, if you see a horse with big odds, that means the betting public thinks the horse has a small chance of winning which
usually means a big pay day! It’s all about finding a horse at a price you like.
How easy it is to place and cheer on your fav?
It’s very easy to place a bet and cheer on your horse. If you’re enjoying a day at the races, which I recommend you do at one
of 1/ST’s amazing venues, you can find a betting window and tell the clerk how much you’d like to bet on what horse, and
more specifically what type of wager! Of course, you can always download the 1/ST BET wagering app on to your phone and
make your bets from virtually anywhere!

How can you have fun without being a pro
yourself?
You don’t have to “break the bank” when
spending a day at the races. From a betting
perspective, one of my favorite things to do
with my friends when they’re at the track
for the first time is to play a show parlay.
Everyone chips in a few dollars and each race,
one person in the group picks a horse to show.
As long as the horse finishes in the top three
(which is what it means to show), the parlay
continues and we take all of the money we
won in the previous race and bet it on a horse
to show in the next race. If we make it through
the races, we split the winnings!
It can be a little daunting going up to a
window to bet, what are your tips for going
for it?
While the windows can seem overwhelming,
don’t be alarmed. I suggest trying to find a
clerk with no line (when possible). Typically,
right before a race, it’s fast paced but if you
go ten minutes before and ask for assistance,
clerks are happy to help you through the
process without rushing you. It’s always ok
to say “I’m new to horse racing!” and to ask
for help. The easiest way to place a bet is
to specify how much you’d like to spend,
the wager type, and the horse(s) you’re
