    SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 2021 ALL IN THE FAMILY WITH THIS SIDE UP: A WISE EXAMPLE FOR EVERY HORSEMAN STONESTREET=S OAKS FILLIES by Chris McGrath Nobody was paying a great deal of attention to him back then, either. But before ceding the weekend headlines to those storied Oaklawn handicaps, the GI Apple Blossom and GII Oaklawn, perhaps we can all take a step back and pay an overdue tribute to a novice who came to Hot Springs in the winter of 1977. Charlie LoPresti had just turned 20 and, learning the ropes under trainer Joe Cantey, was able to count Cox's Ridge and Miss Raja among the first Thoroughbreds to stimulate the skill and devotion that would find their ultimate measure in one of the most accomplished turf runners of modern times. Cont. p8 Barbara Banke introduces us to the siblings of three Stonestreet-bred sophomore fillies, plus a Kentucky Derby-bound colt.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • 2014 Derby Letter
    RICE’S DERBY CHOICE JOURNAL 2014 35th Edition Anthony Comstock Secretary of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice: Gaming in every shape strikes at the root of industrious habits. The horse, the noblest animal created for man’s use, is today made to do the dirty work of professional gamblers- (1892) 1 PROLOGUE: A century before the appearance of The Church Lady on Saturday Night Live, Anthony Comstock was the morality policeman snooping into every private and public aspect of American life in search of any deviation from his puritanical code of right and wrong. His indictment of George Bernard Shaw as “an Irish smut dealer” (presumably adding the Irish modifier increased Shaw’s loathsomeness) inspired the playwright to coin the term comstockery meaning censorship based on a perception of immorality. To the relief of horseplayers, Mr. Tony shed his mortal coil in 1915, age 71. The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is that his name wasn’t Henry Porter- Brownsville Girl Bob Dylan Much like Dylan’s enigmatic Henry Porter, the Edison of turf handicapping was known by a name not his own. Pittsburg Phil was not from Pittsburgh nor was his name Phil (the disparity in spelling is due to the “h” being dropped by the city from 1890-1911). That man became the most celebrated high stakes player traversing the horse racing orbit during America’s Gilded Age. The posthumous publication of Racing Maxims and Methods of Pittsburg Phil was authored by his friend Edward W. Cole. That text is still held sacred by serious handicappers.

City Clerk Liz Maland was on-hand to swear in the new committee members. Buzz Fink was voted Chairman and Chuck McGill was voted Vice- Chairman. The AAC meets the second Tuesday of every month at Montgomery Field, with one meeting at Brown Field in the Fall. The purpose of the AAC is to provide a public forum to discuss aviation-related matters concerning Montgomery and Brown Field Airports. AIRPORT NOISE BRIEFING Summer means warm weather and longer periods of daylight. Pilots take advantage of the extra daylight and VFR conditions by flying more often. Residents spend more time outside and leave their windows open. This translates into more people on the ground noticing the increased aircraft activity, particularly at night, when ambient noise is lower.

  • Preflight Inspection
    STEP BY STEP IMPORTANT NOTE! . Many an aircraft accidents could have been prevented by the pilot completing an adequate preflight inspection of their aircraft before departure. The preflight inspection will initially be taught to you by your instructor and after they oversee you conducting it a few times it will become your responsibility to thoroughly check the aircraft before each flight. The inspection procedure is laid out in the POH for your aircraft. After reviewing the aircraft documents and confirming suitable weather for the trip, a thorough pre-flight inspection (or walk-around) is essential to confirm that your aircraft is airworthy. The following pre-flight inspection is an excerpt from the Cessna 152 Pilot Operating Manual. AIRCRAFT PREFLIGHT INSPECTION 3 STEP PROCESS . Best practise is to do three walkarounds: . In walkaround one, we put the master on and check the lights; pitot heat; the stall warning vane, oil and fuel. This way if we need to order fuel, it can be done now and will reduce any potential delays. In walkaround two, we select the flaps down. After they have been extended we turn the master off. In walkaround three, the master is now off thus conserving the battery, and we take our time to do a complete detailed pre-flight inspection of the aircraft as will be discussed in the ensuing pages. FLUIDS Fuel Quantity: . Check the fuel quantity for your aircraft using the dipstick stored behind the seat. Check the journey log or refueling stickers to verify if it has normal or long range tanks. You will inform your instructor regarding the fuel quantity in gallons and calculate the aircraft.
