  • In Legislative Drafting
    M E M O R A N D U M To: John A. C. Keith Chairman, Boyd-Graves Conference From: Committee on Using “Shall” in Legislative Drafting Date: August 16, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Committee was asked to study the use of the word “shall” in legislative drafting and to make appropriate recommendations. We have unanimously concluded that shall is susceptible to significant ambiguity and that the better practice in legislative drafting would be to eliminate shall altogether and to use the more precise term intended—such as must, may, will, should, is, or is entitled to. This is the so- called “ABC Rule,” named for the Australian, British and Canadian scholars who strongly advocated it in the late 1980s. The ABC Rule has been recommended by the vast majority of modern scholars of legislative drafting and was adopted in the mid-1990s by the federal Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure. The alternative approach is the so-called “American Rule,” followed by most but not all States. Under the American Rule, the term shall is used only to indicate a mandatory duty or obligation. We are informed that the Division of Legislative Services generally tries to follow that rule as well. But the Committee agrees with the scholars and the federal Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure that, notwithstanding their best intentions, lawyers and legislative drafters have not used shall with sufficient consistency to warrant continued confidence in that approach. Our conclusion is confirmed by selected examples drawn from the Code of Virginia and from the Rules of Supreme Court of Virginia.

  • Kentucky Derby Winners Vs. Kentucky Derby Winners
    KENTUCKY DERBY WINNERS VS. KENTUCKY DERBY WINNERS Winners of the Kentucky Derby have faced each other 43 times. The races have occurred 17 times in New York, nine in California, nine in Maryland, six in Kentucky, one in Illinois and one in Canada. Derby winners have run 1-2 on 12 occasions. The older Derby winner has prevailed 24 times. Three Kentucky Derby winners have been pitted against one another twice, including a 1-2-3 finish in the 1918 Bowie Handicap at Pimlico by George Smith, Omar Khayyam and Exterminator. Exterminator raced against Derby winners 15 times and finished ahead of his rose-bearing rivals nine times. His chief competitor was Paul Jones, who he beat in seven of 10 races while carrying more weight in each affair.

  • Setting the Standard
    SETTING THE STANDARD A century ago a colt bred by Hamburg Place won a trio of races that became known as the Triple Crown, a feat only 12 others have matched By Edward L. Bowen COOK/KEENELAND LIBRARY Sir Barton’s exploits added luster to America’s classic races. 102 SPRING 2019 K KEENELAND.COM SirBarton_Spring2019.indd 102 3/8/19 3:50 PM BLACK YELLOWMAGENTACYAN KM1-102.pgs 03.08.2019 15:55 Keeneland Sir Barton, with trainer H.

For res- idents of Lexington, Kentucky — even those not closely attuned to racing — the name Sir Barton has an addition- al connotation, and a local one. The street Sir Barton Way is prominent in a section of the city known as Hamburg. Therein lies an additional link with history, for Sir Barton sprung from the famed Thoroughbred farm also known as Hamburg Place, which occupied the same land a century ago. The colt Sir Barton was one of four Kentucky Derby winners bred at Hamburg Place by a master of the Turf, one John E. Madden. Like the horse’s name, the name Madden also has come down through the years in a milieu of lasting and regen- erating fame.

  • The History of Oaklawn Park
    The History of Oaklawn Park 1900s Desiring to build a track closer to downtown, John Condon and Dan Stuart, who also ran Southern Club and Turf Exchange, a popular downtown Hot Springs night spot, and brothers Louis and Charles Cella of St. Louis formed the Oaklawn Jockey Club in 1904. Celebrated Chicago architect Zachary Taylor Davis is hired to design Oaklawn’s glass-enclosed, heated grandstand – among the first of its kind in the country. The grandstand reportedly seated 1,500 people and cost $500,000. Davis designed Wrigley Field, the longtime home of the Chicago Cubs, a decade later. Feb. 15, 1905 – The inaugural meet opens and runs through March 18. 1910s March 11, 1916 – Owner Louis A. Cella returns racing to Oaklawn after nine years 1 of political uncertainty in Arkansas. Cella, from St. Louis, was a bookmaker, horseman and financier and started running tracks, both in his hometown and in New Orleans. He later joined his brother, Charles J. Cella in operating Douglas Park and Latonia Race Course in Kentucky. For a time, they challenged the preeminence of Matt Winn and Churchill Downs in the Blue Grass state. Fabled mare Pan Zareta won the feature that opening day and goes 3-for-3 on the meet. March 8, 1917 – After one race in Mexico, Old Rosebud makes a winning debut at Oaklawn, 33 months after winning the Kentucky Derby in 1914. He would win again a week later, but would finish third at 137 lbs. to Pan Zareta at 113 when they met March 24. Old Rosebud would turn the tables April 6 in an allowance race en route to leading the nation in handicap earnings that year.
