The Horse’s Mouth I May 2015 Kentucky Derby Women’s World Cup by James Beasey by: Lilliana Schalck Are you excited for the Women’s World Cup. Well, I am. It happens American Pharoah won the every four years like the Olympics. It is going on June 6, 2015 - July 141st Kentucky Derby! The race was 5, 2015. Here are all the soccer teams in group A is Canada, China PR, held on May the second, and the New Zealand, and Netherlands. In group B is Germany, Cote D’ivoire, dash only lasted two minutes, that’s Norway, and Thailand. In group C is Japan, Switzerland, Camroon, and Ecuador. In group D is U.S.A, Australia, Sweden, and Nigeria. In group 6 BLA BLA BLA Exero 01, 5555 why the derby is nicknamed ‘’the best two minutes in sports’’. If you’ve E is Brazil, Korea Republic, Spain, and Costa Rica. In group F is France, noticed, American Pharoah’s name England, Colombia, and last but not least Mexico. All the teams will was misspelled. When The Jockey Club play each other in there division and see who will get to the finals. I went to Zayat Stables to get American hope the U.S.A gets to the finals to go to the next round and if they win Pharoah entered for the race with that championships here they come. The thing I love to watch when I Ahmed Zayat (American Pharoah’s owner), they didn’t notice the error in the horses see professionals soccer players men or women they most of the time name when they entered him into the derby. The correct spelling for his name have great positing and if you have good positing on your team will was American Pharaoh. They spelled Pharaoh wrong. American Pharoah’s racing get a lot of goals and if you get a lot of goals that means you might number Is 18. His jockey’s name is Victor Espinoza, who rode California Chrome, last win the game and you might be one of the players who scored a goal. years winner. In the 2000s a lot of the favorite horses won( like this year’s winner), I hope you are looking forward to Women’s World Cup. unlike the 1900. Dortmund never lost a race until American Pharoah ran past him..... and won. Every one went crazy with excitement, especially Ahmed Zayat and Victor Lets Hear That Cheer Espinoza. The race was held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. American By: Kristian Overman Pharoah’s birthday was on February 2,2012. So it’s a little late if you want to sing Duke overcame the Wisconsin Badgers by nine points in the second half of the Happy Birthday to him. The horses born in 2013 are going to race ‘’the best two game not getting into any foul trouble. The Duke blue Devils won the National minutes in sports’’ next year, because each horse has to be three exactly years old, Championship 66 - 63 and the Wisconsin Badgers missed a large pair of long three so they only have on shot to win the Kentucky Derby. Now, there is one big question: - pointers near the end of the championship. But at the end of the championship it will American Pharoah win the triple crown? all comes out as a game of college basket ball. So its ok for a team to lose because in every game there is going to be fun in it the coaches are trying to get you very active Florida: America’s Sunshine State and get your heart pumping and get you healthy. Some people say that college basket ball is a game of mystery well it’s a game of mystery in the sweet sixteen and the By: Josie Steppe championship. I think that the Wisconsin Badgers did really well agents the Duke Blue You may have been to Florida before, but if you haven’t I will tell you a little Devils. I think Duke deserved the NCAA Trophy because they played really well in all about it. Florida has lots of beaches because it is by the Atlantic Ocean. Florida used their games . Some people can be mad or sad that Wisconsin lost but at least they to be owned by Spain before the United States won the Indian war. Then people came played and did what they could do to try to win. Wisconsin played such a good game back to live in the state we now call the Sunshine State. . so I hope the next time you play a game just remember it is just a game it doesn’t Florida is one of the many American vacation hotspot. So, you can bet there matter if you win or lose it all comes out as a really important basketball game so are many tourists there. However many people live in Florida. In fact, in 2014 19.89 remember that so put it in your brain now ok now! Well I hope you remember that million people lived there! That is a lot of people! this is surprising because from well by Have a very good summer every body ok by now. 1790 through 1820 no people lived in Florida. That is 30 years without any people! Anyway, about forty million people visit Florida yearly. That is a lot of people Universal Studios compared to how many people actually live in Florida. by Emma Cooper The beaches in Florida are lots of fun. However, when you go in the middle of the summer, they might be crowded. When I Have you ever been to Universal Studios? If you haven’t it’s mean crowded, I mean crowded! It might take a super cool. It’s in Orlando, Florida. There are plenty of things search crew just to find a good spot! However, to do there, like riding rides, seeing shows, and if you are there are also lots of days when it is not lucky you may be able to get picture with a TV character. One crowded. Even days when it is very peaceful. of my favorite rides is Rock-It Roller-coaster, but you might Those, I think, are the best. not be tall enough. A To conclude, Florida is very interesting and fun.

I’m a 4th grader and I still go in the kids go shark fishing, you can catch fish or sharks bigger than 3-4 feet. Hilton section and my favorite ride there is the Woody Woodpecker Head is located in South Carolina. Hilton Head is connected by one long ride it’s a short roller-coaster that is still one really good bridge. Hilton Head was established in 1983. Hilton Head barely gets cold ride there, there is a waterpark that you can run around in its normal degrees are at 70-60.
