Lidari returned cobalt readings of 380mg/L of urine and 410mg/L of urine in two separate samples after finishing second in last year’s G1 Turnbull S. The allowed threshold is 200mg/L of urine. Moody is charged with two instances of administration and a presentation offence, according to Racing.com. Moody’s representative Matthew Stirling said at the hearing the product Lidari was on for his brittle hooves, Availa, was said to contain 0.18% cobalt, but the bag tested at Moody’s stable was found to be 0.236% cobalt. cont. p3 Sprinter Sacre, best son of the NH sire Network | Racing Post SCAT DADDY PASSES AWAY Leading sire Scat Daddy passed away suddenly at the age By John Berry of 11 of an apparent cardiac arrest Monday at Ashford Stud For those outside Europe, it goes without saying that Flat in Versailles, KY. racing is much bigger business than jumping.

    Many Days at the Races By: Joe Sexton May 4,2016

    Many Days at the Races By: Joe Sexton May 4,2016 The concrete grandstand at Belmont Park was moving under my feet. It was hard to hear the track announcer. But still possible. “He’s moving like a tremendous machine,” Chic Anderson roared. It was June 9, 1973. The race was the Belmont Stakes. The “tremendous machine” was Secretariat. The margin of victory in the final leg of the Triple Crown was an unheard-of 31 lengths. “A miracle horse,” Anderson declared after Secretariat hit the wire. Thus began my love affair with horse racing — a lasting, intoxicating relationship involving much wonder and way too much wagering. It could be thrilling to watch. And it could be dizzying to then cash a ticket. Over the years — I was 14 that day at the Belmont, my dad at my side, a $2 win ticket in my hand — the relationship, like all love affairs, had its ups and downs. The wagers could occasionally feel more important than the wonder. My devotion could feel cold, remote, cynical. The horses could come to be just numbers — “Get up, 6! Get up, 6!” When the 7 horse at Penn National broke down at the wire one night, most people at the Winner’s Circle bar gasped. The horse having tumbled gruesomely across the finish line, I instead asked if my $20 win ticket was still good. The relationship, in truth, could be worse than sterile. It could be downright unhealthy. When you are delaying going to visit your premature twins in the neonatal intensive care unit until the eighth race at Santa Anita has gone off, you have to take some serious personal stock.

  • Whom Do You Worship? Ephesians 1:3-14 How Many of You've Seen

    Whom Do You Worship? Ephesians 1:3-14 How Many of You've Seen

    Whom Do You Worship? Ephesians 1:3-14 How many of you’ve seen the movie “Secretariat.” It’s a true story about the amazing thoroughbred who won the Triple Crown in 1973. He set records that still stand today. One of my favorite scenes is at the end, with the story of Secretariat at The Belmont Stakes. Secretariat set a fast early pace, which no one thought he could maintain. But he did. Chic Anderson, the announcer said, “Secretariat is widening now! He is moving like a tremendous machine!" He won by 31 lengths, the fastest 1½ miles on dirt in history. Paul was a theological Secretariat, a theological thoroughbred. And Ephesians 1:3-14 is sort of like his Belmont Stakes! He writes like a tremendous machine as he exalts the Triune God. He starts off in verse 3 with a general, topic sentence, and then widens out with phrase after phrase, to touch on various redemptive themes, without stopping for a period! This is a long (202 words), complex, and glorious sentence (one sentence in Greek) that oozes with God-centered worship. One writer quipped that this is the “most monstrous sentence conglomeration that I have ever found in the Greek language” (E. Norden, in Obrien). This is relevant for a variety of reason. Here's one reason it is important: you were made for praise. And we must have the right object of worship. Look around and you will find expressions of praise: young teenage girls screaming at boy band concerts; sports fans exalting the virtues of their team, paying big money for tickets, and adjusting their schedules for the games; dads getting fired up about going to Home Depot to work on a new project; adulterers praising their mistresses; consumers praising their favorite stores, television watchers praising their favorite new series, and coffee drinkers commending their favorite coffee shop.
