You announced a major road program which you say will not, in any way, raiGovernorse taxes. Mike How Pence:is that possible? Well, it’s a real testament to the strong, fiscal responsibility that Indiana’s demonstrated in recent years. Look, we have one of the strongest balance sheets in the country. We have a growing economy. We have record employment in the state of Indiana and the lowest unemployment rate in the Midwest. That’s all created an environment where, in the end of the last fiscal year, we actually ended up with near record reserves in the bank. So, as we were looking at the priorities of the coming session and the General Assembly, I knew it would be possible for us to invest in the kind of preservation of our infrastructure, of roads and bridges, across the state of Indiana. By leveraging our fiscal strength without having to raise taxes on Hoosier motorists and taxpayers.Rafael Sanchez, RTV 6: We’re talking about $1 billion.

THE SHADE OAK NEWSLETTER: 2020 SEASON This is the sort of winter day I love: crisp, dry, the sun rising low in the sky and the fields and hedges glistening with dew as they invite the thrilling chase that surely awaits me and my trusty charge, Sir Francis. So, why, you might very well ask (as I did myself not five minutes ago), am I locked in the loo with just an ipad for company? “That’s where most people read it so that’s where you can write it,” my lovely wifie kindly explained. So here I am, poised to bring you informative information and insightful insights into stud life, stallions, breeding and anything else that comes into my head so that I can produce sufficient words to earn early release, aided only by my trusty assistant who sits poised at the other end of an email connection ready to dig up some relevant statistic I can’t quite call to mind or remind me of the odd fact that I asked him to make a note of for just this moment. So here, just so long as the broadband doesn’t go down, is the annual Shade Oak Newsletter… THE SEARCH FOR A STALLION For the second year running we have no news of a new both Telescope and Dartmouth and a great trainer of stallion arriving at Shade Oak for the forthcoming season. I middle-distance horses, made the dreadful mistake of realise that breeders are often excited at the thought of using running him in a 10 furlong Group 1 rather than tackling a new stallion.

Inaugurated in 1874 as Woodbine Race Course at the foot of Woodbine Avenue and Lake Ontario, it was owned and operated by two gentlemen named Pardee and Howell. Within a few years financial problems resulted in the property reverting to Joseph Duggan, the original land owner and retired innkeeper. In the early 1880s Duggan founded the Ontario Jockey Club (OJC). The facility hosted seasonal harness racing for Standardbred horses and flat racing events forThoroughbreds. Harness racing dates were transferred from Thorncliffe Park Raceway to Old Woodbine to fill the gap between the spring and fall thoroughbred meets, and the track was known as Greenwood Raceway during the harness meet. The track was at the junction of Kingston Road and Queen Street East, with only a narrow strip of land between it and Lake Ontario. Thoroughbred racing continued at Old Woodbine on a shortened six furlong (1,207 m) track. Harness races were at first conducted on the thoroughbred track, but serious problems with mud (including the starting gate being immobilized) led to the construction of a five-furlong (1006 m) stone dust harness track inside the thoroughbred track. This track was known for its tight turns and long back and homestretches. In the early 1950s, the Ontario Jockey Club, led by directors E.
