Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 OF 9 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 11 NOVEMBER, 2016 HF: I started Newgate on a leased farm which was 250 acres. We were pinhooking foals and buying and selling horses and boarding mares. That was our business. The Bateman family, the late Dr. Bateman and his wife Belinda, in conjunction with James WITH HENRY FIELD cont. from p1 Harron, gave me the opportunity to stand Foxwedge (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), and our stallion business has grown from there. We were able to buy a very fine property in the Segenhoe KR: In just six years of existence, Newgate Farm has became an Valley and we developed Newgate into a partnership then industry leader in many aspects. You=ve become a leading between myself, SF Bloodstock and Matthew Sandblom, who consignor and breeder and also stand champions and Golden are not only business partners but close friends and mentors for Slipper winners. Can you talk about Newgate=s business plan? me. They=re very successful businessmen in their own right. It=s just developed from there. We=ve tried very hard to look after HF: Our business plan is to stand the best stallion prospects in our partners and our shareholders in our stallions with the Australia and try to develop them into champion stallions. We=re highest level of regard. It=s paid us back because we can go and very much focused on getting horses we really believe in as sire buy stallions we believe in. We=re very fortunate to have prospects. We=re very fortunate that so many of the really good wonderful partners to come into these stallions with us. breeders in the country are partners in our stallions with us. It We have four very exciting colts due to retire to stud either puts us in a position where we can really sculpt these horses= next year or the year after. Capitalist, who retired this week, will careers and get really high-quality mares to them. We breed a go down as one of the all-time top 2-year-olds, and he has a lot of our own mares and we support our horses with high-class huge 2-year-old pedigree and a massive chance to be a very mares.

And it=s a privilege to have bought into Flying Artie (Aus) (Artie Schiller), who is a pure outcross and in our opinion a HF: What I=ve really learned is that you need to surround monster of a racehorse. yourself and work with really high-quality people. A length is a long way in this game, so it=s really about the one-percenters. It=s a real cliche, but this game comes down to the one- percenters, because the margin for error is so small. AYou need to surround yourself Operationally, in and work with really high-quality decision making you people. A length is a long way in really have to get all this game, so it=s really about the the small things one-percenters.@ right. That=s probably why we=ve grown the business so successfully. We=ve always tried to employ a really good person, 12 months before we really require them, so we=re ahead of the growth rather than trying to play catch up. Future Newgate stallion Flying Artie KR: You=ve talked about your partners, and China Horse Club is Darren Tindale another one you=ve been doing a lot of business with. KR: Those four future stallions are all very smart sprinters, and HF: China Horse Club has been a really great partner to us. Mr. this is of course what the Australian Thoroughbred is best Teo Ah Khing, Michael Wallace, Mick Flanagan; it=s a great known for. Is standing sprinters at stud an important focus for working relationship. We work on a lot of deals together and you? we=ve really had a lot of success with them. I=m not sure if we=ve been lucky or they=ve been lucky for us, but it=s probably a HF: There are certain things we believe in to make stallions and I combination. Cont. p4 don=t really care whether we retire a horse to stud that stands for A$10,000 or A$100,000; we have to have things that are important to us and we believe in. In Australia, natural speed is a very important thing. So it=s not that we=re focusing on that, it=s just an ingredient that seems to have worked that is a tried and true ingredient for making a champion stallion in Australia. We work really hard to not only manage the stallions when they go to stud, but recruit them. It all comes down to the owners of these colts trusting what we do. A lot of times the people that race these colts will co-own them with us when they go to stud, and that=s built some great friendships and some great relationships. For example, Alan Bell and Ananda Krishnan, who raced Deep Field, are two of the people we co-own the stallion with, but they have actually developed into people I=ve become very close to and I=ve learned so much from them. I=m a young guy and we=re building a business. We learn all the time, so to be able to learn off good people that have integrity and intelligence is a real honour and privilege for me.

    THURSDAY, 28 JANUARY 2016 RAMSAY: SHOW ME THE DRAMA FASCINATING ROCK HEADS Story and photos by Lucas Marquardt EURO CUP ENTRIES From access to jockeys' and stewards' rooms to employing new technologies like helmet cams, racing can and should do much more to shape a dramatic narrative for television viewers, according to Jim Ramsay, who spoke at the "Racing Media and the 21st Century Fan" panel during Wednesday's second session of the Asian Racing Conference in Mumbai. Ramsay is a director and producer, and has worked for IMG and Channel 4 Racing on such events as the Cheltenham Festival, the Grand National, the Epsom Derby and Royal Ascot. Ramsay's case was simple. Racing has a natural tension and excitement built into it, so why not take advantage of it and use it to create a better entertainment experience? By way of example, he reminded attendees of the 2001 G1 Cox Plate in Australia, which saw eventual winner Northerly (Aus), Sunline (NZ) and Viscount (Aus) finish in a blanket photo after a roughly run final 100 meters.

  • Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: a Shi’Ite Perspective Mohamad Younes
    Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: A Shi’ite Perspective Mohamad Younes Master’s Thesis in Sociology Spring Term 2017 Humanities and Communication Arts Western Sydney University 1 17481784 Mohamad Younes 2 17481784 Mohamad Younes ABSTRACT Despite the strong emphasis on ethics within the Islamic tradition, Islamic ethics itself is scarcely represented as a discipline within academic scholarship (Ansari 1989). Even within this area, Islamic ethics have predominantly been studied from Sunni perspectives, with little attention being paid to Shi’ite or other minority understandings. This thesis will, therefore, use qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus groups, to sociologically study the perceptions, understandings, and applications of Islamic ethics in Australian Shi’ite Muslim everyday living. It will investigate the overarching understanding of Islamic ethics and its specific application in Australian Shi’ite Muslim context. The project's objective, therefore, is twofold: one to strengthen Islamic ethics as an independent discipline; and two to address the scant attention Shi’ite Islamic ethics has received in Islamic ethics scholarship generally. Conceptually, this project will contribute to the understanding of Islamic ethics through a particular analysis of Shi’ite Islamic ethics in an Australian Shi’ite context. This is significant as specific understandings of Islamic ethics in certain contexts help to explain how minority groups such as Shi’ite Muslims develop their own ethical standards to shape social relations in society. In addition, this thesis argues for Shi’ite Islamic ethics to be highly Imamate based; that is, very reliant on the actions and sayings of 12 divinely guided Imams (leaders).

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.
