Lucas Marquardt sat down with Taylor Made=s Vice President of Sales and Operations, Mark Taylor, who raised and sold Roaring Lion, about what he was like as a young horse and if the American- breds-abroad trend figures to continue and grow stronger. LM: What do you remember about Roaring Lion as a young horse? MT: Roaring Lion was born here on Taylor Made and grew up here the whole time, and we ended up consigning him for Jan Naify of RanJan Racing at the September sale, and he was picked out by David Redvers for Qatari Racing. But, my recollection of Roaring Lion was that he was always a beautiful mover. Cont. p4 Justify in the red-and-yellow silks of the China Horse Club IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Mar. 11 at Santa Anita.

AThe China Horse Club and WinStar Farm share the use of colors on the horses we race in partnership,@ said Harrington. AEvery fourth start, a horse will race in China Horse Club silks. The sharing of silks ensures both the WinStar brand and China Horse Club brand are promoted. As an ownership group, we are very tight-knit. The credit for the quality of our relationship rests with Mr. Kenny Troutt and Mr. Teo Ah Khing. Regardless of the colors that are worn on our horses, we all cheer passionately; we all cheer as one. As a club, we are very fortunate that the rotation will see Justify race in China Horse Club silks in the Belmont Stakes. It will be the second time Justify has raced in them having worn them at his second career start.

Per the rotation, starts three (Santa Anita Derby), four (Kentucky Derby) and five (Preakness) were in WinStar=s silks, making the Belmont Stakes the CHC=s turn. AIn our short history as a club we have been very fortunate to have our silks carried in some very big races and at some very big race days,@ said Harrington. ABut the importance of having our red-and-yellow silks worn by Mike Smith as he rides Justify in the Belmont Stakes for a tilt at the Triple Crown will undoubtedly be the most important. Its significance cannot be quantified. Not only will all of America be watching, the world will be watching. And for all the Chinese fans who are new to horse racing, seeing the colors of Chinese owners on Justify on the biggest of stages this year carries immense resonance. America has been and remains the standard of excellence in so many industries including many sports, so for Chinese to be seen by their countrymen and women as having reached the pinnacle of this sport in America by having their colors represented on such a big occasion will bring a great deal of pride. It could be the catalyst for an influx of new participants in the sport internationally. It will almost certainly have a positive impact across myriad areas of China=s fast emerging domestic thoroughbred industry.@ Elliott Walden, CEO and president of WinStar, added, AThe partnership has been great and we=re excited for Mr. Teo and the China Horse Club to have the opportunity to have Justify wear their silks in the Belmont. While we would love to have him in our silks, I=m excited about the fact that he=s wearing the China Horse Club=s, too, and that they can share in the fun of the Triple Crown.@ Justify training at Churchill | Horsephotos TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 8 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • MAY 31, 2018 Cont. from p1 MT: That was kind of his claim to fame. He was a well-balanced horse, well-made, had a lot of quality. And he's another horse that we've had here just for great breeders that we've been blessed to represent. That's the main thing that keeps Taylor Made going, is just we represent a lot of really great breeders, and I think Jan Naify is one of those. And right from this family, a lot of good horses. So it was a pleasure to have him here and it's really fun looking back and just remembering these horses. They were right here in your care and then they're going on to compete on the world stage. So it's pretty neat. Click the photo above to listen to Lucas Marquardt=s interview with Mark Taylor LM: Can you describe him physically? MT: I would describe Roaring Lion as kind of a typical Kitten's Joy. He didn't have overly bulky muscle to him, but he was very well put together. He had good length of neck, good shoulder. I actually looked up all of our notes on him, and they were very consistent throughout his whole life. My brother, Frank, dealt with him a lot more when he was a young baby, and then I kind of picked up once he was a yearling looking at him more often. But he had a beautiful frame to him. Not overly bulky. He was pretty correct. He wanted toe in just a touch. All of our notes said, "Just toes in a touch on one front," but it was inconsequential. But just beautiful flowing walk, a lot of class. On our scale, like a B+ is a very nice horse. Like, you've gotta be...to get an A, it's a rare thing. So he was a B+ almost the whole way through. He didn't really go through a lot of dips or low points or whatever, just always very straightforward. I was actually disappointed that he didn't bring more money. And I credit David Redvers for finding value at $160,000. Cont. p5 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 8 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • MAY 31, 2018 The Big Interview cont. But it goes to show you; he was by Kitten's Joy. Some American trainers kind of stereotype them as turf. And then, he was out a Street Sense mare, and I think on the surface, maybe a lot of Europeans thought, "Oh, that's got a little too much dirt to it." Actually, if you dig deeper--and maybe that's what David saw--there is a lot of grass quality. But I think he was kind of one of those tweener horses that if you would've had that exact same physical and he would've been by an American dirt horse, he might have brought twice as much money.

  • A Theological Reading of the Gideon-Abimelech Narrative
    YAHWEH vERsus BAALISM A THEOLOGICAL READING OF THE GIDEON-ABIMELECH NARRATIVE WOLFGANG BLUEDORN A thesis submitted to Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities April 1999 ABSTRACT This study attemptsto describethe contribution of the Abimelech narrative for the theologyof Judges.It is claimedthat the Gideonnarrative and the Abimelechnarrative need to be viewed as one narrative that focuseson the demonstrationof YHWH'S superiority over Baalism, and that the deliverance from the Midianites in the Gideon narrative, Abimelech's kingship, and the theme of retribution in the Abimelech narrative serve as the tangible matter by which the abstracttheological theme becomesnarratable. The introduction to the Gideon narrative, which focuses on Israel's idolatry in a previously unparalleled way in Judges,anticipates a theological narrative to demonstrate that YHWH is god. YHwH's prophet defines the general theological background and theme for the narrative by accusing Israel of having abandonedYHwH despite his deeds in their history and having worshipped foreign gods instead. YHWH calls Gideon to demolish the idolatrous objects of Baalism in response, so that Baalism becomes an example of any idolatrous cult. Joash as the representativeof Baalism specifies the defined theme by proposing that whichever god demonstrateshis divine power shall be recognised as god. The following episodesof the battle against the Midianites contrast Gideon's inadequateresources with his selfish attempt to be honoured for the victory, assignthe victory to YHWH,who remains in control and who thus demonstrateshis divine power, and show that Baal is not presentin the narrative.

  • Testimony of Marty Irby Executive Director Animal Wellness Action Before the U.S
    Testimony of Marty Irby Executive Director Animal Wellness Action before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Commerce and Consumer Protection H.R. 1754, "The Horseracing Integrity Act" January 28, 2020 On behalf of Animal Wellness Action, one of the nation's leading animal protection organizations on Capitol Hill, I submit this testimony in support of H.R. 1754, the Horseracing Integrity Act. I express my sincere thanks to Chair Jan Schakowsky and Ranking Member Cathy McMorris Rodgers for conducting this hearing and offer special thanks to Representatives Paul Tonko, and, Andy Barr for introducing this reform effort. I also express thanks to Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Frank Pallone and Ranking Member Greg Walden for their participation in this process. This hearing builds on the testimony and other information gathered during the 2018 hearing conducted before the Subcommittee on H.R. 2651 in the 115th Congress. I first want to underscore that Animal Wellness Action does not oppose horseracing. We join with many horse owners, breeders, trainers, and racing enthusiasts in speaking out on the broader topic of the protection of horses within the American horseracing industry and across the greater equine world. We seek to promote the proper stewardship of horses at every stage of their lives, including during their racing careers. We are deeply concerned about on- and off- track risks to the horses, including catastrophic injuries sustained during racing. America was built on the backs of horses, and they have always played a central role in the economy and culture of the United States. We owe them a debt of gratitude, and the very least we must do is ensure their safety, welfare, and protection.

  • Three Theories of Just War: Understanding Warfare As a Social Tool Through Comparative Analysis of Western, Chinese, and Islamic Classical Theories of War
    THREE THEORIES OF JUST WAR: UNDERSTANDING WARFARE AS A SOCIAL TOOL THROUGH COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF WESTERN, CHINESE, AND ISLAMIC CLASSICAL THEORIES OF WAR A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN PHILOSOPHY MAY 2012 By Faruk Rahmanović Thesis Committee: Tamara Albertini, Chairperson Roger T. Ames James D. Frankel Brien Hallett Keywords: War, Just War, Augustine, Sunzi, Sun Bin, Jihad, Qur’an DEDICATION To my parents, Ahmet and Nidžara Rahmanović. To my wife, Majda, who continues to put up with me. To Professor Keith W. Krasemann, for teaching me to ask the right questions. And to Professor Martin J. Tracey, for his tireless commitment to my success. 1 ABSTRACT The purpose of this analysis was to discover the extent to which dictates of war theory ideals can be considered universal, by comparing the Western (European), Classical Chinese, and Islamic models. It also examined the contextual elements that drove war theory development within each civilization, and the impact of such elements on the differences arising in war theory comparison. These theories were chosen for their differences in major contextual elements, in order to limit the impact of contextual similarities on the war theories. The results revealed a great degree of similarities in the conception of warfare as a social tool of the state, utilized as a sometimes necessary, albeit tragic, means of establishing peace justice and harmony. What differences did arise, were relatively minor, and came primarily from the differing conceptions of morality and justice within each civilization – thus indicating a great degree of universality to the conception of warfare.

  • 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.

  • NYRA Board of Directors Meeting December 9, 2015 Agenda Item 3: Report of CEO and President Remarks of Christopher K
    NYRA Board of Directors Meeting December 9, 2015 Agenda Item 3: Report of CEO and President Remarks of Christopher K. Kay Good afternoon. Belmont Fall Meet Highlighted by Tonalist’s second consecutive win in the Grade 1, $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup on October 3, Belmont’s fall meet included the debut of two “Super Saturdays” on Saturday, September 26 and Saturday, October 3. The two events featured a combined 11 graded stakes, worth $4.2 million in purses. On October 24, we held our third showcase day for New York-bred horses. Our popular Empire Showcase Day was comprised of eight stakes races worth $1.75 million in purses exclusively for New York-bred horses. The day also featured the return of “Taste NY” to Belmont Park. One of Governor Cuomo’s signature initiatives, “Taste NY” brings the best, New York crafted wines, spirits and foods directly to our horseplayers and fans. Total NYRA handle, which includes wagers on Belmont Park races both on-track and from simulcast outlets nationwide, was $320,907,036. The figure represents an increase of $21,531,019, up 7 percent from 2014’s total NYRA handle of $299,376,017. But that is just one performance metric. As reflected in the chart on the screen, we registered meaningful increases in many important areas for this year’s Belmont fall meet, as compared to 2014. Aqueduct Winter Meet On Wednesday, November 4, we resumed live racing at Aqueduct Racetrack. The Aqueduct fall meet features 27 stakes races worth $4.8 million in purses, and was anchored by the running of the Grade 1 Cigar Mile.
