Established Sires: Where's the Value? WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2018 ALWAYS DREAMING WORKS, EYES RETURN ESTABLISHED SIRES: 2017 GI Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming WHERE'S THE VALUE?

The workout, an Aeasy solo three furlongs@ according to Palm Beach clocker Dave Norton [video], came just over a month after returning to Pletcher=s care after spending the autumn recovering from a severe bout with stomach ulcers.

Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. So now we reach the guys with runs on the board. If the young guns are typically overpriced, then it stands to reason that this is often where the value lies. As we've noted, however, witless gold rushes can create their own inexorable, self-fulfilling momentum. Nonetheless this is the area to concentrate on, if you are one of those quaint old characters who mate mares with the outlandish objective of actually producing a racehorse. One of the things that kills a sire, commercially, is anno domini. Possibly the size of modern books does cause a genuine depletion in the ageing stallion. But people pick and choose stats to suit themselves: they'll take a leap of faith with the inconsistent young sire who shows himself capable of getting the odd standout, but dismiss as an aberration an evening star for the veteran who can no longer get the voluptuous partners of his heyday. It's all opinion, all choice, but we would have had no Arrogate (Unbridled=s Song) joining the ranks, and no Honor Code (A.P. Indy), had the owners of their dams not kept the faith respectively with the venerable Unbridled's Song and A.P. Indy.

  • Arab Cultural Awareness: 58 Factsheets
    TRADOC DCSINT HANDBOOK NO. 2 ARAB CULTURAL AWARENESS: 58 FACTSHEETS OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF FOR INTELLIGENCE US ARMY TRAINING AND DOCTRINE COMMAND FT. LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS JANUARY 2006 PURPOSE This handbook is designed to specifically provide the trainer a ‘hip pocket training’ resource. It is intended for informal squad or small group instruction. The goal is to provide soldiers with a basic overview of Arab culture. It must be emphasized that there is no “one” Arab culture or society. The Arab world is full of rich and diverse communities, groups and cultures. Differences exist not only among countries, but within countries as well. Caveat: It is impossible to talk about groups of people without generalizing. It then follows that it is hard to talk about the culture of a group without generalizing. This handbook attempts to be as accurate and specific as possible, but inevitably contains such generalizations. Treat these generalizations with caution and wariness. They do provide insight into a culture, but the accuracy and usefulness will depend on the context and specific circumstances. Comments or Suggestions: Please forward all comments, suggestions or questions to: ADCINT-Threats, 700 Scott Ave, Ft. Leavenworth, KS 66027 or email [email protected] or phone 913.684.7920/DSN 552-7920. ii WHERE IS THE ARAB WORLD? • The Arab world stretches from Morocco across Northern Africa to the Persian Gulf. The Arab world is more or less equal to the area known as the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Although this excludes Somalia, Djibouti, and the Comoros Islands which are part of the Arab world.

    Kentucky Derby Comments By Brock Sheridan Photos by Coady and Chelsea Durand #1 Known Agenda, 6-1 Drawing the inside post is his biggest problem. He won the Curlin Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream Park in his last start, and an allowance race, also at Gulfstream, before that on Feb. 26 and is trained by two-time Derby-winning trainer Todd Pletcher (Always Dreaming, 2017 and Super Saver, 2010). The Florida Derby has produced more Ken- tucky Derby winners than any other prep race (24) and six Kentucky Derby winners since 2000. Third in the Rem- sen (G2) won by Brooklyn Strong at Aqueduct on Dec. 5 and fifth in the Sam Davis (G3) at Tampa Bay Downs on Feb. 6, Known Agenda looks to be a “getting good at the right time” horse with the addition of blinkers for his last two races. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. is a plus, even among the world’s best and post one. Known Agenda #2 Like the King, 50-1 Won the Grade 3 Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway Park in his last race and his first career victory was on turf, so rac- ing on dirt for him is a question mark. In two starts on dirt, he was second in his career debut in July and third against allowance horses at Keeneland in October. Although this is the first Derby starter for trainer Wesley Ward, he has a reputation for his horses performing well on a world stage. Like the King #3 Brooklyn Strong, 50-1 Was the last to qualify for the Kentucky Derby as he made the field over the weekend when others were with- drawn.
