Fact Book 2001 Inner.Qxd
Australian Racing Fact Book A Guide to the Racing Industry in Australia 2000 - 2001 Published by the Australian Racing Board December 2001 1 Although every effort has been made to ensure the information provided in the Australian Racing Fact Book, this publication may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. The Australian Racing Board assumes no responsibility for any such inaccuracies, errors or omissions in this publication or in other documents referred to within the publication. We would appreciate being notified of any errors that are discovered. 2 FForewordoreword The Australian Racing Board is pleased to introduce the third edition of The Australian Racing Fact Book, our annual reference guide to the Australian thoroughbred racing industry. In a few years we will celebrate the bicentenary of racing in Australia. In the almost 200 years since its beginnings, a three day meeting held in Hyde Park in 1810, Australian racing has become not only one of this nation's best loved sports but also a major component of the economy. By 2001 thoroughbred racing has grown to become an industry that generates a gross economic impact of $7.74 billion, and provides work, directly and indirectly, for 249,000 people. When you bear this in mind it is only to be expected that there is keen interest, from both within the industry and more generally, in records relating to the health and performance of the Australian thoroughbred racing industry. Our intention in producing the Fact Book is to meet this demand by assembling a range of useful facts and figures as a handy guide to any person seeking information on major aspects of the industry. -

Comparison of Gravitational and Light Frequency Shifts in Rubidium Atomic Clock
universe Communication Comparison of Gravitational and Light Frequency Shifts in Rubidium Atomic Clock Alexey Baranov, Sergey Ermak *, Roman Lozov and Vladimir Semenov The Institute of Physics, Nanotechnology and Telecommunications, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, 195251 Saint Petersburg, Russia; [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (R.L.); [email protected] (V.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-921-791-9091 Abstract: The article presents the results of an experimental study of the external magnetic field orientation and magnitude influence on the rubidium atomic clock, simulating the influence of the geomagnetic field on the onboard rubidium atomic clock of navigation satellites. The tensor component value of the atomic clock frequency light shift on the rubidium cell was obtained, and this value was ∼2 Hz. The comparability of the relative light shift (∼10−9) and the regular gravitational correction 4 × 10−10 to the frequency of the rubidium atomic clock was shown. The experimental results to determine the orientational shift influence on the rubidium atomic clock frequency were presented. A significant effect on the relative frequency instability of a rubidium atomic clock at a level of 10−12 10−13 for rotating external magnetic field amplitudes of 1.5 A/m and 3 A/m was demonstrated. This magnitude corresponds to the geomagnetic field in the orbit of navigation satellites. The necessity of taking into account various factors (satellite orbit parameters and atomic clock characteristics) is substantiated for correct comparison of corrections to the rubidium onboard atomic clock frequency associated with the Earth’s gravitational field action and the satellite orientation in the geomagnetic field. -

In the Winx of an Eye She Became
4 FAREWELL WINX In the Winx of an eye she became A LEGEND AS WE BID FAREWELL TO WINX, ONE OF THE BEST GALLOPERS TO EVER HIT THE TRACK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, BRAD GRAY REFLECTS ON HER FIVE MOST MEMORABLE WINS IN HER HOME STATE – NO EASY TASK! Winx has left us with our hearts in our mouths, jaws on the floor and wonder in our eyes. What a remarkable career. We salute you Winx. DONCASTER MILE, 2016 Think about this for a moment … 1in Winx’s Doncaster win she gave Happy Clapper 6kg. That is 8kg before the mare’s allowance, and she was only four-years-old too. After settling down with just three runners behind her, Hugh Bowman was niggling the daughter of Street Cry approaching the 600m but once she squeezed through the pack halfway down the straight, she strode clear to win by two lengths going away. Bowman admitted he was as worried as onlookers in the run. This was the day Chris Waller conceded he had a champion on his hands. RIGHT: Hugh Bowman salutes the crowd after Winx’s epic Doncaster Mile victory in 2016 GEORGE RYDER STAKES, 2017 Breathtaking. Winx made a habit of 2winning this race but none were more dominant that the 2017 edition where she annihilated a field that included Le Romain and Chautauqua, with nine Group Ones between them. The wet track certainly played into her hands but after she idled up the leaders at the 400m it was just a matter of margins. It was 7.3 lengths in the end. -
