  • Unknown FRIDAY, MAY 05, 2017
    “Don’t be afraid to change. You may lose something good but you may gain something better.” - Unknown FRIDAY, MAY 05, 2017 Morning Summary: Stock remain near their all-time highs. The Nasdaq is up over +15% year-to-date with the S&P 500 up over +7%. Crude oil on the other hand is trading at multi-month lows and is now down almost -20% year-to-date as U.S. production levels are nearing this of top producers such as Saudi Arabia and Russia. U.S. crude production now sits at around 9.29 million barrels a day, highest since the summer of 2015. With gas- oline demand lower and strong supplies there’s reason to believe prices at the pump may pullback in the next week or two. Today’s economic highlight will be the April Employment Report, which is expected to show U.S. employers added +175,000 to +185,000 new jobs with the unemployment rate ticking up slightly to 4.6% from a previous 4.5%. Keep in mind that March payrolls only grew by 98,000, a disappointing number that many ana- lysts attributed to temporary seasonal factors. If hiring does not indeed pick up from last month’s level, it could raise some concerns about a softening economy. Average hourly earnings and the participation rate will also be an important part of the overall equation. If both are increasing, it would send a signal that the job market may be close to full em- ployment, meaning adding new jobs is growing increasingly more difficult.

  • Red Smith Writes About Mr. Fitz in the Sign, the National Catholic Magazine
    Mr. Fitz that would drive a man to alcohol, but· he's still just a one-drink man by Red Smith Mr. Fitz is a small, stooped, twinkling Irishman whom it takes an Irishman to describe properly, because the Irish don't fear adjectives like "sweet" Colol)el Edward Riley Bradley was a gambler who would, he assured a Congressional committee; bet on any- thing. This trait is not ordinarily ac- cepted as proof of Solo monic wisdom, . but Colonel Bradley was not an ordi- nary man. Besides winning more bets than he lost, he 'bred four Kentucky Derby winners, and because his horses could run rapidly he acquired a repu- tation for awesome sagacity. One of the many legends which have survived him insists that as late as the last Saturday in April he would let you pick a horse and would lay four to one that the steed wouldn't get to the post in the Derby one week later. True or false, the fact that horsemen believe this legend indicates what a fragile, temperamental, unpredictable critter the Thoroughbred is. By the time these paragraphs are published, the 1957 Derby will be monopolizing space on the sports pages. However, this has to be written in advance, and it would be flying in the face of Colonel Bradley's advice to as- sume that the current favorite, Bold Ruler, would even start in the race, let alone win it. It's best to settle for the devout hope that Bold Ruler does get there, because that would mean that Mr.

Sabini Member Charles Diamond Member Daniel Hogan Dear Chairman Sabini, Members Diamond and Hogan, Pursuant to the Racing and Wagering Board’s 2011 directive establishing the Racing Fan Advisory Council, I am pleased to present you with the Council’s inaugural report of recommendations for your consideration. The Racing Fan Advisory Council has been working hard over the past year to identify a comprehensive cross section of who the current racing fan is, who the possible new fans are, and what he/she wishes to see to make the sport more attractive and enjoyable. We have held several public events over the past year to gauge attitudes and ideas from existing fans. We also collaborated on our specific areas of expertise to outline ideas to better market and expand the sport. This initial report is a mere snapshot of the ideas proposed. We believe it is a series of realistic measures that can bring about positive change to the industry. As our mission continues into the next year, we will continue to identify and map out more comprehensive recommendations to bring more fans to the sport of horseracing.
