There are some causes for going barren which may be “red flags” for the mare’s likelihood of delivering a healthy foal. These would include problems related to reproduction such as dystocias (difficult foalings), cervical or other damage to the reproductive tract, chronic uterine infections, poor vulvar conformation, abnormal ovaries, and genetic abnormalities.

  • In Legislative Drafting
    M E M O R A N D U M To: John A. C. Keith Chairman, Boyd-Graves Conference From: Committee on Using “Shall” in Legislative Drafting Date: August 16, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Committee was asked to study the use of the word “shall” in legislative drafting and to make appropriate recommendations. We have unanimously concluded that shall is susceptible to significant ambiguity and that the better practice in legislative drafting would be to eliminate shall altogether and to use the more precise term intended—such as must, may, will, should, is, or is entitled to. This is the so- called “ABC Rule,” named for the Australian, British and Canadian scholars who strongly advocated it in the late 1980s. The ABC Rule has been recommended by the vast majority of modern scholars of legislative drafting and was adopted in the mid-1990s by the federal Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure. The alternative approach is the so-called “American Rule,” followed by most but not all States. Under the American Rule, the term shall is used only to indicate a mandatory duty or obligation. We are informed that the Division of Legislative Services generally tries to follow that rule as well. But the Committee agrees with the scholars and the federal Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure that, notwithstanding their best intentions, lawyers and legislative drafters have not used shall with sufficient consistency to warrant continued confidence in that approach. Our conclusion is confirmed by selected examples drawn from the Code of Virginia and from the Rules of Supreme Court of Virginia.

  • Kentucky Derby Winners Vs. Kentucky Derby Winners
    KENTUCKY DERBY WINNERS VS. KENTUCKY DERBY WINNERS Winners of the Kentucky Derby have faced each other 43 times. The races have occurred 17 times in New York, nine in California, nine in Maryland, six in Kentucky, one in Illinois and one in Canada. Derby winners have run 1-2 on 12 occasions. The older Derby winner has prevailed 24 times. Three Kentucky Derby winners have been pitted against one another twice, including a 1-2-3 finish in the 1918 Bowie Handicap at Pimlico by George Smith, Omar Khayyam and Exterminator. Exterminator raced against Derby winners 15 times and finished ahead of his rose-bearing rivals nine times. His chief competitor was Paul Jones, who he beat in seven of 10 races while carrying more weight in each affair.
