  • 250000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU
    $250,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 92nd Running – Saturday, May 7, 2016 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Top Beyer Speed Figure – 112, Richter Scale (1997) Average Winning Beyer Speed Figure (since 1992) – 99.9 (2,398/24) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.

The facility has long been a part of the community of Wendover, Utah. About 1920 the Bonneville Corporation was formed by J. L. Silsbee. In 1964 Kaiser Aluminum acquired the facility which had by then been owned by a series of companies. The original tract of land consisted of 31,360 acres. Today, Reilly Wendover encompasses 88,000 acres which includes lands leased from the state and federal governments. When operating at full production, Reilly Wendover employs over 50 employees. The facility can annually produce over 100,000 tons of potash which is used as a fertilizer. Other products produced at the facility are magnesium chloride used in sugar processing and Dust-Top@ dust control compound; Ice-Stop" ice control agent for roads, and a small amount of sodium chloride (table salt). Potash is a freight sensitive product and thus the product produced in Wendover is sold primarily in the Western United States, particularly Califomia and Idaho.

  • Thrustssc Supersonic Land Speed Record Car
    ThrustSSC Supersonic Land Speed Record Car Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark Designation Ceremony, 15 March 2014 Coventry Transport Museum, Coventry CV1 1JD , UK 1 History of Land Speed Record for Cars 1898 Jeantaud Land Speed Record Car The Land Speed Record (LSR) for cars is a competition for 4- wheeled vehicles that aim to achieve the highest possible speed over either a measured mile or kilometre. Regulations of the Fédération Internationale du Sport l’Automobile (FIA) require that the speed is the average of two officially timed runs – one in each direction – and that the second run be completed within one hour of the first. The first World Land Speed Record was set in 1898 by Count Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat driving a battery-electric powered, 36 hp, 1400 kg Jeantaud on the road in Acheres Park near Paris, France. On 18 December 1898 he achieved a one-way record speed of 63.1 km/h (39.2 mph) for the flying kilometre. The record then went to Camille Jenatzy driving his own torpedo shaped Jenatzy at 49.2 mph on 17 January 1899. During 1899 the record went back and forth between these two battery-electric, chain-driven vehicles until on 29 April 1899 Jenatzy set the record speed of 105 km/h (65.8 mph) at Acheres – a record that would stand for three years. These early records were all set in France because it had long, straight roads that encouraged high speed racing. This road system was built by Napoleon in order to march his armies from one city to another.

As aircraft speeds gradually increased over time, the power needed to overcome the aerodynamic inefficiencies of the propeller to greater speeds and altitudes were quickly realized as a hindrance to the potential of aircraft.

  • My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written By: Jerry D
    My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written by: Jerry D. Petersen Date: 20 May 2017 Article Number: 259-2017-15 The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Horse Racing, better known as the Triple Crown, is a title awarded to a three-year-old thoroughbred horse who wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. The three races were inaugurated in different years, the last being the Kentucky Derby in 1875. These races are now run annually in May and early June of each year. The Triple Crown Trophy, commissioned in 1950 but awarded to all previous winners as well as those after 1950, is awarded to a Triple Crown winner. The Triple Crown Trophy Churchill Downs thoroughbred racetrack is located on Central Avenue in south Louisville, Kentucky. It is most famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby annually (on the first Saturday of May). This race is nicknamed, “The Run for the Roses.” The track is named for John and Henry Churchill who provided the land. It officially opened in 1875 and held the first Kentucky Derby and the first Kentucky Oaks in the same year. Churchill Downs has also hosted the renowned Breeders' Cup on eight occasions, most recently in 2011. Churchill Downs Front Inside Churchill Downs The Kentucky Derby Pimlico Race Course is a thoroughbred horse racetrack in Baltimore, Maryland, most famous for hosting the Preakness Stakes. Its name is derived from the 1660s when English settlers named the area where the facility currently stands in honor of Olde Ben Pimlico's Tavern in London.
