  • Will Justify Win the Triple Crown?
    Will there be a Triple Crown Winner this year? Mike E. Smith on Justify, Kentucky Derby On May 5, Justify won the Kentucky Derby. There are 2 more thoroughbred horse races that he has to enter and win in order to win the Triple Crown of thoroughbred Racing ... the Preakness and the Belmont. Can he do it? What are his chances? The three races that make up the Triple Crown are the (1) Kentucky Derby, the (2) Preakness Stakes, and the (3) Belmont Stakes. Kentucky Derby races began in 1875; Preakness races began in 1870; and the Belmont began in 1867. But in all of those years since these races began only 12 horses have won all three. Triple Crown winners Year Winner Jockey 2015 American Pharoah Victor Espinoza 1978 Affirmed Steve Cauthen 1977 Seattle Slew Jean Cruguet 1973 Secretariat Ron Turcotte 1948 Citation Eddie Arcaro 1946 Assault Warren Mehrtens 1943 Count Fleet Johnny Longden 1941 Whirlaway Eddie Arcaro 1937 War Admiral Charles Kurtsinger 1935 Omaha Willie "Smokey" Saunders 1930 Gallant Fox Earl Sande 1919 Sir Barton Johnny Loftus Even though all three races have been in existence since 1875, let's start considering our data when the first horse won all three races in 1919 ... Sir Barton won. 1. How many years have elapsed between 1919 and now? There are different ways to look at what might be the most usual gap between winners. We could figure out the gap that occurs most often (mode); or what the mean number of years of a gap is; or what is the most central measurement (median) of the various gaps.

    Toyota Blue Grass Stakes® (G2) Sponsored by Toyota 94th Running • Spring • 1 1/8 miles • 3-year-olds The Blue Grass Stakes was named for the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, which is characterized by grass having bluish-green culms and is known as the heart of the Thoroughbred breeding industry. First run at the Kentucky Association track in Lex- ington in 1911, the Blue Grass has, from its inception, served as an important prep for the Kentucky Derby. At the Association track, the Blue Grass was staged from 1911-1914 and 1919-1926. The race was revived at Keeneland in the spring of 1937. In 1943-1944, the Blue Grass was renewed as a part of the Keeneland-at-Churchill Downs meetings. In 1945, the Blue Grass was run as a part of the Churchill Downs meeting. Toyota became the sponsor in 1996. The purse of the race was increased to $1 million in 2015.

    COMPARATIVE PROCEDURE ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON: I NSTANT REPLAY IN THE NFL AS A PROCESS OF APPELLATE REVIEW C HAD M. OLDFATHER* M ATTHEW M. FERNHOLZ** “In the NFL, coaches’ challenges, which trigger replays, contribute to the sense that a game consists of about seven minutes of action . encrusted with three hours of pageantry, hoopla, and instant-replay litigation.” —George Will1 INTRODUCTION The use of sport as a metaphor for aspects of the legal process has a long history. Over a century ago Roscoe Pound decried the “sporting theory of justice” in his momentous speech to the American Bar Association.2 More recently, Chief Justice Roberts famously likened the judicial role to that of a baseball umpire.3 The instinct to draw parallels between law and sport is understandable. The litigation process, in particular, has adversaries, winners, and losers, and bears other resemblances to various games. Not surprisingly, this extends to football.
