Incidentally, Royal Academy covered his last mares at the age of 22 in Australia in 2009, siring nine live foals from 14 mares. This winner of the July Cup and Breeders= Cup Mile was represented by Group 1 winners in the U.S., Britain, Ireland, France, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Brazil and South Africa, so it is going to be interesting to see where he makes the longest-lasting impact. It could well be Australia, as Bel Esprit is his second Australian son to sire a major sprinter, the first being Ihtiram, sire of Miss Andretti. One of Royal Academy=s daughters is the dam of Fastnet Rock, a Lightning S. winner who is now covering his second book of mares at Coolmore in Ireland, having become a six-figure stallion in Australia..

Golden Horn, Gleneagles Slated to Finally Meet in Irish Champion The much anticipated matchup between star European miler GLENEAGLES (IRE) and fellow standout GOLDEN HORN (GB) appears set to finally take place Saturday in Leopardstown’s $1.33 million “Win and You’re In” QIPCO Irish Champion (GI), with an eight-horse field in place, and a berth in the Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf going to the winner. The Irish Champion is one of three Challenge races at Leopardstown and highlights a weekend that features 10 total “Win and You’re In” races, including the prestigious Ricoh Woodbine Mile (GI) Sunday. A rainy forecast for Friday has caused Leopardstown officials to move the Irish Champion to the outside course, and to start Saturday’s race about one hour earlier in the program. The connections of both Coolmore’s Gleneagles and Anthony Oppenheimer’s Golden Horn, the pair of 3-year-old standouts are expected to meet in the 1 ¼-mile race after the latter withdrew from a potential clash in the “Win and You’re In” Juddmonte International (GI) at York August 19 due to the soft turf.

FY20 guidance is bleak, given the housing construction downturn has as yet no end in sight and increased infrastructure construction is not sufficient to offset. The suspension of the dividend also came as no shock, but an intent to acquire and build out an integrated, infrastructure-oriented business model carries risk and reduces dividend prospects near-term.

The results suggest continuing strong sales momentum and stable margins across the business. Morgans downgrades FY20-21 earnings estimates, factoring in higher investment expenditure associated with offshore expansion. Traction in the US is strong but the key for Ord Minnett in the FY19 result were the initial customer acquisitions in the UK, which were well above expectations.

  • Unemployment Insurance and Takeovers*
    Unemployment Insurance and Takeovers* Lixiong Guo† University of Alabama Jing Kong‡ Michigan State University Ronald W. Masulis§ University of New South Wales December 11, 2019 Abstract We examine whether unemployment insurance (UI) mitigates shareholder-employee conflicts of interest and improves takeover market efficiency. Exploiting within state changes in UI benefits, we find that increased target state UI benefits raise acquisition likelihoods, expected deal synergies, and gains to both acquirer and target shareholders. UI effects on acquisition likelihood are stronger in highly unionized industries, in firms with concentrated employee ownership, and in firms with employee friendly boards. The passage of directors’ duties laws increases the UI effect on acquisition likelihood. Lastly, increased acquirer state UI benefits raise acquirer returns and likelihood of acquirers making within-industry acquisitions.
