Abdullah had raced 118 Group or Grade I winners since entering the game just over 40 years ago, of which he bred 102 of those. He owned stud farms in the UK, Ireland and Kentucky. AThe family has been for some time and still is very committed to keeping Juddmonte as it is going, focusing on the broodmare band, focusing on the homebred operation,@ Erskine Crum told ITV Racing.

Though more races were raced per card the overall nightly handle was $15,000 above similar dates a year ago, final daily average shaded $90,000. Though class animals were absent this spring, first Gordon Tenney then Clayt Smith were able to bring together competitive groups of horses. Racing was impressive. Early on the Mr. 1,000 and the Maine Stakes finals got the meet underway, but into November it survived on just the appeal of Maine racing.

Spendthrift Farm's three-time champion Beholder is set to take on fellow Eclipse Award winner Stel- lar Wind, along with a group of talented sprinters stretching out. "It's a real race this time," Mandella said of the mile, $400,000 event—prior to 2016, the Vanity was run at 1 1/8 miles, and prior to 1987 it was 1 1/4 miles at Hollywood Park. That’s not to say the 6-year-old daughter of Henny Hughes hasn't proven herself to be a top racemare in the country—it's just that she's largely been unchal- lenged.

  • Surface Physics of Semiconducting Nanowires
    Surface Physics of Semiconducting Nanowires Michele Amato Institut d'Electronique Fondamentale, UMR8622, CNRS, Universit`eParis-Sud, 91405 Orsay, France ∗ 5 Riccardo Rurali Institut de Ci`enciade Materiales de Barcelona (ICMAB{CSIC), Campus de Bellaterra, 08193 Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain Abstract Semiconducting nanowires (NWs) are firm candidates for novel nanoelectronic 10 devices and a fruitful playground for fundamental physics. Ultra-thin nanowires, with diameters below 10 nm, presents exotic quantum effects due to the con- finement of the wave functions, e.g. broadening of the electronic band-gap, deepening of the dopant states. However, although several reports of sub-10 nm wires exist to date, the most common NWs have diameters that range from 20 15 to 200 nm, where these quantum effects are absent or play a very minor role. Yet, the research activity on this field is very intense and these materials still promise to provide an important paradigm shift for the design of emerging elec- tronic devices and different kinds of applications. A legitimate question is then: what makes a nanowire different from bulk systems? The answer is certainly 20 the large surface-to-volume ratio. In this article we discuss the most salient features of surface physics and chemistry in group-IV semiconducting nanowires, focusing mostly on Si NWs. First we review the state-of-the-art of NW growth to achieve a smooth and con- trolled surface morphology. Next we discuss the importance of a proper surface 25 passivation and its role on the NW electronic properties. Finally, stressing the importance of a large surface-to-volume ratio and emphasizing the fact that in a NW the surface is where most of the action takes place, we discuss molecular sensing and molecular doping.
