Download Pedigree Notes Justify Scat Daddy sired eight Gr.1-winning sons (including one in Japan), the eldest of which - No Nay Never - is firmly established as one of Europe’s best young sires. This bodes extremely well for Justify, who rapidly proved himself as Scat Daddy’s outstanding son with a sequence of six victories which saw him develop into only the 13th American Triple Crown winner - and only the fifth since 1948. In winning from 7 to 12 furlongs, Justify displayed an exceptional blend of speed and stamina, and he is also an exceptional physical specimen. There is every reason to expect Justify’s versatility to extend to his stallion career. Scat Daddy owed his total of 50 GSWs in the northern hemisphere to no fewer than 46 different broodmare sires. This suggests that Justify will also work with a wide range of bloodlines. With the nearest of Justify’s three lines of MR PROSPECTOR being in the fourth generation of his foals there’s ample scope to add extra lines. Scat Daddy sired the very successful No Nay Never from an ELUSIVE QUALITY mare and much of his phenomenal success in Chile was based on mares by Gone West’s son SEEKER’S REWARD, with the U.S. Gr.1 winner Dacita being an excellent example. It was a grand-daughter of Forty Niner, by END SWEEP, who produced Scat Daddy’s very fast daughter Acapulco. Mares by DISTORTED HUMOR have obvious appeal. Scat Daddy also sired Graded winners from mares by SMART STRIKE and his son CURLIN. Scat Daddy’s son No Nay Never has a Gr.2 winner out of a mare by Smart Strike’s son ENGLISH CHANNEL. Two other grandsons of MR PROSPECTOR which have done well with Scat Daddy are STREET CRY (broodmare sire of Gr.1 winners Skitter Scatter and Con Te Partiro) and THUNDER GULCH. EMPIRE MAKER mares have 20% SWs with Scat Daddy. Scat Daddy has also sired GSWs from mares by UNBRIDLED’S SONG’s sons BUDDHA (Gr.1 wnr Valid Point), SONGANDAPRAYER, FIRST DEFENCE and ROCKPORT HARBOR. Scat Daddy was successful with the SEATTLE SLEW line, siring Gr.1 winners from mares by HOUSTON and SKY MESA. TAPIT mares create 4x3 to PULPIT and 4x5 to MR PROSPECTOR, while mares by MINESHAFT, MALIBU MOON, CONGRATS and FLATTER create 5x3 to A.P. INDY and 4x4 to MR PROSPECTOR. DANZIG line mares are good options as BOUNDARY is broodmare sire of Scat Daddy’s 2020 Gr.1 winner Combatant. Scat Daddy proved tremendously effective as a sire of European turf horses, even though he raced exclusively on dirt – as did Justify. European breeders looking for an outcross should consider using him on their DANZIG line mares, especially as No Nay Never’s two-time Gr.1 winner Ten Sovereigns has a dam by EXCEED AND EXCEL and his 2020 Gr.1 2yo winner Alcohol Free is out of a HARD SPUN mare. Scat Daddy’s exceptionally fast Lady Aurelia is inbred 4x3 to STORM CAT, her dam being by FOREST WILDCAT. Scat Daddy sired the Gr.1 winner Nickname from a grand-daughter of El PRADO, so daughters of MEDAGLIA D’ORO and KITTEN’S JOY should be considered for Justify. HOLY BULL mares did very well with Scat Daddy, notably producing the top sprinter Caravaggio. .

    SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2019 TDN Q & A: MARK TAYLOR DEBERNARDIS, WOLFE EARN ECLIPSE AWARD FOR TDN WEEKEND ON ABEL TASMAN Christie DeBernardis and Patty Wolfe have earned the Eclipse Award for Audio/Multi-Media Internet for their piece chronicling the journey of Cozmic One, first foal of champion Zenyatta, from the racetrack to the show ring through the Retired Racehorse Project (RRP) and the careful eye of 17-year-old show rider Isabela de Sousa. The entry appeared first online in the July edition of TDN Weekend, a publication of Thoroughbred Daily News and can be viewed here. The story of Cozmic One is told by DeBernardis, who came up with the idea, wrote the text, took the pictures and interviewed de Sousa on camera, and Wolfe, who shot and produced the video of de Sousa, in which the young rider extols the By Lucas Marquardt opportunity of second careers for retired racehorses and the Headlining the Keeneland January Sale this year is the 2017 success of Off-the-Track Thoroughbred (OTTB) programs.

  • 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.
