  • Flat Season 2017 Winning Profiles Page 1
    Flat Season 2017 Winning Profiles www.againstthecrowd.co.uk Page 1 Key trends point to big-race winners The big-race narrative unfolds across the British flat season in a series of races designed to find the best of the best in specific divisions…. The 2000 Guineas and the 1000 Guineas – run early in May at Newmarket – are designed to find the best of the 3yo milers…. The Derby and the Oaks – run at Epsom on the first weekend in June – are designed to find the best 12-furlong colts and fillies from the classic generation. Later in the season at Doncaster, the St Leger provides an additional test of stamina and sets out to find the best of the 3yo stayers…. Races like the Eclipse, the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the Arc De Triomphe in France provide top-level G1 races that set the younger horses against their older counterparts – and set out to establish the best horses across the generations…. These races are difficult to read. All the most talented horses in each division – at least those which are fit – tend to show up. All the major yards are represented. Every single runner is trying. A horse can run the race of its life in one of these big races and it can still get beaten. So how do we solve these betting puzzles? It’s never ‘easy’ to solve these races – but help is at hand in the form of historical evidence. Over the years, specific types of horses tend to come out on top time and time again in the biggest races.

  • The Role of Secondary-Stressed and Unstressed-Unreduced Syllables in Word Recognition: Acoustic and Perceptual Studies with Russian Learners of English
    THE ROLE OF SECONDARY-STRESSED AND UNSTRESSED-UNREDUCED SYLLABLES IN WORD RECOGNITION: ACOUSTIC AND PERCEPTUAL STUDIES WITH RUSSIAN LEARNERS OF ENGLISH Elina Banzina A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2012 Committee: Laura Dilley, Advisor Lynne Hewitt, Chair Sheri Wells-Jensen, Graduate Faculty Representative Alexander Goberman John Folkins © 2012 Elina Banzina All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Laura Dilley, Advisor Identifying those phonological factors that native listeners rely on most when perceiving non-native speech is critical for setting priorities in pronunciation instruction. The importance of accurate lexical stress production, particularly primary stress, has been explored. However, little is known about the role of Secondary-stressed (SS) syllables and Unstressed-unreduced (UU) syllables, and the importance of their accuracy for speech perception. These questions are of relevance for Russian learners of English, who often reduce English SS and UU vowels—a phenomenon which is arguably due to the fact that only one stressed syllable per word is allowed in Russian phonology. Moreover, second language research has not addressed the issue of vowel over-reduction, which is a pattern typical of Russian learners. Low-accuracy productions of SS and UU syllables are generally not expected to lead to unintelligibility; however, they might interfere with the ease and accuracy with which speech is perceived. An acoustic study first compared realization of SS and UU syllables in words produced in isolation by six Russian learners of English and six native English speakers. Words were selected to contain low vowels and specific UU and SS syllable positions to optimally reflect vowel reduction by Russian speakers.
