SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2017 BULLARDS ALLEY, RACING'S CHOICE ON BREAKTHROUGH RESEARCH: ACTION OR WORDS? BUCCHERO GIVE GLYSHAW News Analysis, by T.D. Thornton A Lexington, Kentucky-based veterinarian has assembled a BC BREAKTHROUGH scientific team that has proven in principle it can radically alter racing's drug-testing landscape while simultaneously providing a reasonably priced diagnostic tool to vastly improve overall horse health. The time frame in which the team has accomplished this work has been remarkably short, the methods by which they have secured funding to date have been ingenious, and the long-term implications for this research extend far beyond the horse world and into the realm of human medicine.

Tim Glyshaw | Coady Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. by Michael Adolphson Trainer Tim Glyshaw has had a bittersweet 2017, but the sweet is absolutely saccharine right now and the 48-year-old proud Indiana University alum is heading to the Breeders= Cup with his first two starters. While GI Breeders= Cup Turf Sprint-bound Bucchero (Kantharos) was already slated to head to Del Mar for the World Championships, it was not until the morning of Oct. 19 that a definitive decision had been made on barn star and Woodbine romper Bullards Alley (Flower Alley). Each horse exits a big victory against their respective divisions within eight days of one another. Ironhorse Racing Stable=s Indiana-bred Bucchero was a 26-1 handy 1 3/4-length winner of the GII Woodford S. Oct. 7 at Keeneland, while Bullards Alley gave Glyshaw his biggest career victory Oct. 15, taking the GI Pattison Canadian International by 10 3/4 lengths at 42-1 for owners Wayne Spalding and Faron McCubbins. After debating for a few days following such a huge performance, Glyshaw was pleased to move forward to the GI Breeders= Cup Turf with the latter.

AYou may never get an opportunity like this again and I=m not completely certain he can=t run that same race back. I know the numbers guys may disagree, but this horse runs hard every time and if he runs anywhere close to that, he will be competitive. If his best effort puts him third, fifth or seventh, I=ll be happy, as long as it=s his best. AI know the history on him says he=s best on softer turf courses, but I believe he could have won if he was not impeded badly in the (GIII) American St. Leger (at Arlington) on firm ground,@ he continued. AHe just needs a softer pace earlier, so he can be within range. On firm turf, sometimes they run off and he is too far behind, which isn=t the way he naturally runs. He=s had plenty of excuses and some bad luck, but that=s turf racing. It all worked out at Woodbine and he ran big. Eurico (Rosa Da Silva) rode a beautiful race and kept him to task, as he can get to waiting on horses, which is why he won by as far as he did. He came out great and he=s definitely a better horse this year than last year.@ Bullards Alley, an $11,000 bargain from the 2014 Eugene Melnyk dispersal at Fasig-Tipton, is back at Churchill Downs. Bucchero, on the other hand, is with Glyshaw=s Indiana Grand string and worked four furlongs in :52.80 Friday. AIt=ll be a nice slow work by design for him,@ Glyshaw said. AWe know he=s fast, so he doesn=t have to show it in the morning. He really likes it up in Indiana and that=s where his exercise rider is, so I don=t want to change anything with him. AHe would have been a turf sprinter his whole career if he didn=t have the AIN@ next to his name,@ Glyshaw continued. AHe has taken advantage of the Indiana-bred program and done really well. He=s won four stakes on the dirt against them, but he is a better horse on the grass and showed that. I know there are better horses in the country, but if you=re looking at Del Mar and the way he can sit behind the speed and make a big run, I=ll take my chances with my horse. He has never had a physical issue in his life and beat some very good horses.@ A pair of big chances in the Breeders= Cup is a welcome panacea for the former school teacher and assistant to Bob Holthus and Cole Norman. He and wife/assistant Natalie, daughter of legendary Louisiana jockey Ron Ardoin (5,226 wins), weathered a tough winter at the Fair Grounds [due to the equine herpesvirus outbreak] in which they only won three races from 77 tries, but finished second 12 times. A trip back west could also heal the woulds of 2013, when an in-form Taptowne (Tapit) was a vet scratch with a bruised hoof the morning of the 2013 Breeders= Cup Dirt Mile.

What really stuck with me about our nearly two-hour EBP conversation that day was Nash's enthusiasm and passion for a counter plan he was trying to orchestrate in which testing for illicit drugs was just a small part of a grand vision he had for a tool that could also quickly and accurately screen for diseases and pinpoint infectious outbreaks before they raged into epidemics.

    By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist's Book

    By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist’s Book Judith May Walton School of Communication and the Arts, Faculty of Arts, Education, and Human Development, Victoria University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (by performance / exhibition) (December, 2010) Abstract By Hand and Eye: Dance in the Space of the Artist’s Book is a practice-based research project that explores what potential there might be for dancing, or an expanded notion of dance, to be found and/or created in book form. For instance, how might a book dance, rehearse its contents? What relationships can be found or forged between the body and the artist’s book: the movement of the eye, the spacing of thought, temporality and duration, and the choreography of the page? These propositions have been explored and expanded through a tactile, experiential examination of selected artists’ books from the National Art Library (NAL) of the Victoria & Albert Museum, a translation/re-working of existing performances into book form, and the creation of unique artist-made books. The project seeks to embody and enact concepts and questions considered through the research; signalling, suggesting, amplifying, and marking, gestures and rehearsals for movement. This process has resulted in three outcomes: an exhibition of artist-made books with a performed opening, a recuperation of selected past performances remembered and re-made in book form, and a series of written discussion papers and accompanying video essays based on the artists’ book collection at the NAL at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

    ARE SUPER TRAINERS GOOD OR BAD for the SPORT? by Chris Mcgrath Bill Finley Has Part II of His Two-Part Series on “Super Trainers” Dominating the Game of Racing

    THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2018 LETTER FROM ASCOT: HEROES AND GOATS ARE SUPER TRAINERS GOOD by Dave Johnson OR BAD FOR THE SPORT? When I heard the Ascot track announcer say, "Tony Curtis is heading to the stalls," it took me a while to put two and two together. "I thought Tony Curtis was dead," the guy next to me in the press box muttered. I was sure he was, too. But then I realized the announcer was talking about #16 in Wednesday's G2 Royal Hunt Cup Handicap. For those of you who always complain about short fields and favorites with ever blinking low odds, consider the fact that 32 were entered for this race today, and 30 ran. They needed three starting gates for the straight-on one-mile test. The favorite was 7-1. And it wasn't Tony Curtis (GB) (Rock of Click above to watch TDN video of trainers discussing the Gibraltar {Ire})--he finished nineteenth at 40-1.
