  Daniel Wildenstein - Independent Online Edition > Obituaries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Wildenstein, grandson of the founder of Wildenstein and Co, whose family fled France for the United States during the Second World War, invested as much time in studying and understanding the sport – especially from a breeding perspective – as he did money.
Wildenstein vowed never to set foot in the Longchamp winner's enclosure again, and was sitting in the course's Restaurant Panoramique when the rest of his family greeted Peintre Celebre after his awesome Arc victory.
Wildenstein's falling-out with Piggott involved two incidents: the disqualification of the Piggott-ridden Vacarme from a two-year-old race at Goodwood and the rider's subsequent decision to switch mounts in the 1983 Arc de Triomphe from the Wildenstein filly All Along.

 Daniel Wildenstein
Wildenstein was born to a family of art dealers.
The younger Wildenstein was educated at the Sorbonne and spent his early professional years as the exhibitions director of the Musée Jacquemart-Andre, Paris, and the Musée Chaalis in the north of France.
The end of Wildenstein’s days, however, were clouded by lawsuits and accusations that his father collaborated with the Nazis during the occupation of France to gain art treasures seized from Jews.

Wildenstein, now 82, admitted that the rule of secrecy applied by his family had somewhat been a mistake.
The Wildenstein family sued Hector Feliciano whom they accused of having defamed its name but lost its case in court while the heirs of Jewish collector Alphonse Kann launched a court action against Daniel in an attempt to recover eight medieval manuscripts supposedly stolen during the war.
All these events thus induced Daniel Wildenstein to react with the publication of his book in which he is giving an account of the Wildenstein saga.

A sort of guerrilla war ensued, Wildenstein making faces whenever I appeared, poor little me talking non-stop about the traffic jam which the fleeing French troops created in their hurry to get to the Riviera rather than making the acquaintance of Panzers.

The Knavesmire air would have turned as blue as Alec Wildenstein's famous racing colours if Westerner had failed to come home in the big one yesterday; for when Wildenstein is upset it is not just his horse that needs earplugs.
Wildenstein's unpopularity, however, was evident after the race.
Even before his ungracious comments last year Wildenstein had upset racing folk by ignoring a warning that the earplugs worn by Westerner to keep him calm should not be withdrawn during the race, which can boost a horse's performance.
