WATCH LIVE ON APRIL 19TH The race is called “The Growler”, and is but one component of the 16 year old mass-participation ride known as Levi’s GranFondo. The ride has existed here since 2009, and was founded by former WorldTour professional Levi Leipheimer as a way to give back to his community, and share the very roads that shaped his career. The event hosts thousands of participants from around the world each year, but fewer than 200 with the capacity to reach the top step are invited to compete in The Growler. The Growler of Levi's GranFondo is America's toughest road race. There is no equal. It is as hard if not harder than some of the biggest one day classics, and will be the most difficult challenge many of today’s competitors will face as it features 4,200 meters of elevation spread over more than 220 kilometers of highly technical, narrow roads that Sonoma County is famous for in the world of cycling–a selection of roads that were pivotal during the late Coors Classic, and Amgen Tour of California races. The beauty and ruggedness of this mythical place at the edge of our continent is indescribable. Coupled with the pure exhilaration of racing a bicycle through such sinuous roads is the inspiration for what you will see today. There will be ten winners in each of the men’s and women’s fields as our top athletes of the day battle for a share of a $156,000 prize purse. This payout makes The Growler the richest one-day professional road bike race in the world, thanks to the incredible support of our title sponsor Skipstone Winery, nestled at the end of the final mountain of the day: the Geysers.

Figured I’d make a little different post as I did some racing myself last week! I’m coming down off an incredible week Tour of the Gila where I raced in the cat 1 field. I won a stage (yes crazy!), finished 5th overall (also crazy), and won the masters cat 1 40+ overall over Italian legend Fortunato Ferrara. Now after having sometime to reflect I want to share some of the thoughts I had from the race. 1. Family made the racing experience so special for me. I’ve done a lot of bike races, but this one was so good having much of the family together for it. @kourtneydanielson was there keeping me on track, @stevedanielson237 was there grinding in his race at the same time, @alpha_zulu_6 was in “no-fail mission mode” running the race logistics, and Sarah was there inspiring us to dig deep. We just need @stelladdanielson for the next one with the little ones and watch out world! 2. To win you have to be ready to lose. I’ll be honest, racing has so much trauma around it for me I have a long ways to go to really enjoy it, but I am getting there. But what I did “re-experience” was how if you are worried about winning you will often paralyze yourself and not be able to give what it takes. I did have moments where I completely locked into “racing” and just enjoyed going for it. 3. You don’t have to feel well to do well. As a coach I preach this one all the time but man, I really felt it this week. I got that gnarly sinus virus going around and wow, does it bite hard. I really struggled each day on the bike and off the bike I spent wayyyyy too much time worrying about what was going to happen in the bike. Kourtney came to the rescue to keep sending me back out there despite me trying to negotiate with her to sit it out. Wow, I was so glad I did listen to her! 4. The future is bright. Let me tell you, there is some big talent out there coming. I got to race with a lot of the young pros and I also got to hear about the talent coming from my son’s field. There were 5 riders I saw in my race that were all u23 and absolutely could make it to the World Tour. This race always brings talent out, but I would say there is more than in the past this year. I hope these riders keep working hard and team up with someone who actually knows how to get to the world tour. There’s so much to build and the right progression is everything. 5. I’m not done yet. This week was just the beginning of a new chapter for me. Back to work!

On March 19, 2021—his seventy-first birthday—a man walked to the pond on his farm and threw himself into it. He had said it again and again, almost like a prayer: “When I leave this world, I don’t want it to be without winning the Derby. I can’t accept that. I absolutely can’t. It’s nothing like the other G1s. For those of us who live in the world of horses, it’s a race apart.” Yet he never held a single classic title, the Japanese Derby included. His name was Okada Shigeyuki. They called him the Commander. He called himself “the man with Japan’s greatest eye for a horse,” and many agreed. It never felt like boasting. He simply saw too much. He traveled to Britain and America when he was young, quarreled with his family, and built everything from scratch. Big Red Farm. Its satellites. The club. He challenged taboos in Japanese breeding—things no one dared attempt—until those very acts became standard practice. Horses he bought, pedigrees others dismissed, kept turning up in the classics. Again and again. It was as if he could see not just what a horse was, but what it might become. Then came Sunday Silence, and the axis of racing shifted. Okada searched obsessively for a stallion who could surpass him. He looked everywhere, spent heavily, and invested without hesitation. Yet deep down, he knew the truth: Sunday Silence was a once-in-a-lifetime existence. There would be no second. Still, for the sake of the Derby—the dream he could not abandon—he kept struggling. In 2008, on the Japanese Derby, a jockey called him. The colt had been favorite for the Satsuki Sho. Okada had even instructed him to ride with the Derby in mind, saying it was fine not to win the Satsuki. And yet, just before the Japanese Derby, Okada said quietly: “Today, ride however you like. We can’t beat Deep Sky.” The jockey was stunned. From a man who had given everything to the Derby, such resignation felt unbearable. Deep Sky won. That was the curse of possessing the finest eye: he could see not only greatness, but also defeat. He continued to challenge the system—JRA, local racing, entrenched power itself. Cosmo Bulk was his provocation. Favorite for the Satsuki Sho, yet the horse Okada feared most was the tenth choice, Daiwa Major. Daiwa Major won. Later came the era of Deep Impact and King Kamehameha. As they kept claiming the Derby, Okada could only smile bitterly. Northern Farm was simply too strong. And then—at last—a different thread. He managed, somehow, to bring Gold Ship in as a stallion. From his prized broodmare band came a filly: Uberleben. Two months after Okada died, she won the Japanese Oaks. It was the first classic victory for horses connected to him. The first time the dream—his dream—broke the surface of history and became real. After the finish, the jockey Mirco Demuro pointed to the sky. A win offered upward. A message. A payment, long overdue. People from Big Red Farm had brought Okada’s photograph to Tokyo Racecourse, holding it as an altar in a place made of noise and speed. And then, from the rival camp—Northern Farm—Yoshida Shunsuke stepped over, looked at the picture, and said with a rough tenderness that only rivals earn the right to show: “What is this… You should’ve brought a bigger one.” There was someone there—usually composed, always steady—who, at that moment, could not stay standing inside himself. Tears spilled out. Then a sob that escaped the body’s permission. A collapse into grief so loud it startled the air. They had finally won a classic. And the one person who should have been there… wasn’t. Over the racecourse speakers, the announcement came—formal, measured, incapable of hiding what it meant: “Thoroughbred Club Ruffian records its first classic victory. This win is dedicated to Okada Shigeyuki, commander of the Meiner stable, who passed away on March 19 this year.”

Let’s be absolutely clear with the facts from today’s “march against the far right” which I attended from the start. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 1. These were left-wing organisations from all over the UK. Every union under the sun was in attendance. National Education Union are definitely indoctrinating children within the teacher and school environment, just look at their presence today. It is very concerning. Watch what they teach your kids. They, as an education union, along with Unite the union: join a union, were also fighting over who got to be at the front of the march today, thanks to two lesbian powerhouses not having it. Comedy gold 😂 2. The second video shows over 100 coaches being used to bus in all these so-called “concerned citizens” on organised transport. They are all part of a left-wing narrative which just doesn’t work anymore, we see exactly what they are doing. That was the entire left-wing loony left in attendance. That’s it. That’s them. This is a major point! We have millions who know what’s right, and the left wing in this country is about to get the shock of their lives in the next elections, swept off the map. That was a panic march. They know it’s coming! 3. There was no working class at this march! Fact! It was all middle and upper class people who attend the usual Palestine marches and Palestine Action events. They hate the Union Jack flag and they hate the working class. This was a stunt by the well-organised unions to pretend the country is behind them which it is not. And that was clear as day to witness today. Also a clear panic march. 4. We don’t have much to worry about. These people are not in the real world. They are privileged and wealthy. And as I said, that’s the crowd, that’s them. They are in total fantasy land, and it’s now time for the adults to get back in charge. 5. Long live England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✝️🇬🇧

The Horse That Once Collapsed and the Change No One Could Have Expected 🐎💗 When the rescuers first saw that horse, they almost did not know what to think. He was so thin that his bones showed clearly beneath the skin. His four legs were spread wide to keep his balance, his body swaying, and he nearly fell into the trailer. Looking at him, one had the feeling that just a little more and he would no longer have the strength to stand. They brought him to the foster home with worry. A horse that has become so weak and has been down for too long can face many difficulties getting back on his feet. No one knew how far he would recover. Then the next morning, when the stall door opened, the caregivers saw something that took them by surprise. The horse was standing. He was not only standing on his own legs but also pawing the ground, as if waiting for the caregiver to bring him food. It was a small sign, but a very important one. He still had strength. And he still wanted to eat. From there, the recovery process began with the most ordinary things. He was given enough food and water, a safe place to rest, and caregivers who monitored his condition every day. No change happened overnight. His health returned little by little. His body gradually filled out. He stood more steadily, moved more, and finally was able to run across the pasture. Looking at that image, it is hard to connect it with the horse that once could barely stand beside the trailer. But the most thought-provoking part of this story is not how much he changed. It is that the rescuers did not know the outcome in advance. They could not be sure the horse would recover. They simply saw an animal in very poor condition who still had a chance, and they decided to give him that chance. Perhaps we humans often make a similar mistake: looking at someone in their hardest moment and thinking that is who they are, or that is where their story will end. But one bad day is not always an entire life. This horse did not need a miracle to begin changing. He needed food, water, care, and time. The rest, his body found on its own. And then one day, the horse that once had only enough strength to lean against a trailer was able to run across the pasture. Perhaps that is the most memorable image of this story: not a life that was turned into something else, but a life that was given the chance to return to itself.

They want to buy X and TikTok and Instagram so that they can supposedly get rid of all the anti-semetic content - as if these crimes are imaginary! This happened just now in the South Lebanese town of Zibdeen-Nabatieh, where a husband and wife were killed by an Israeli airstrike on their way to pick up their kids from school. The man was blind - a pager attack victim from last year - which was obviously known by his killers. His wife was the one driving the car. They could have struck the man - their target - or the car at any time, but notice how they waited for the woman to enter the car, ensuring that their children are orphaned. This morning the drones were flying so low in the skies of South Lebanon that we thought they were going to land. It's a surreal feeling when you someone from your town is going to be killed today and you don't know who, it could be you, and you just go about your life whilst it could be your last day on earth and you're forced to be a sitting duck, just watching the sky, wondering if you and your children will make it to school this morning. This airstrike will not be on the news. No one seems to care about us here in South Lebanon, not even our own government will condemn this act which happens to us every single day because it only does what the US tells it to do. Tomorrow is another day in which Israel will act with impunity, and there will probably be another airstrike, and it may even be me because this post will probably piss them off. Well, even if it is, who cares? The world will move on as it does every day. Only Allah hears and sees. Ya Allah, may you strike them with mighty vengeance for all they have done to your oppressed people.

Dear Racing Community, This Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs is a huge one for us: Powershift in the Tampa Bay Derby, Time to Dream in the Florida Oaks, Disruptor in the Challenger. But last Saturday at Gulfstream was different. No stakes horses. Just a maiden and an allowance runner. Our races were early. My ADHD was kicking in 😂, so instead of rolling in 50-deep with the usual chaos and preparation, I went to the track with my childhood friend of 40 years and my 10-year-old daughter, Gioia. No entourage. No spotlight. Just us. And it hit me. I was 13 again. Going to the track with my friends. Falling in love with this sport. Now I get to share that same feeling with Gioia. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d have a bond this strong with my daughter, built in large part around the racetrack and these horses. Over the last 10 years she’s learned lessons you can’t teach in high school, college, or an MBA program: Joy. Anxiousness. Winning. Losing. Grit. Failure. Partnership. Family. Passion. The racetrack has been a classroom. The Thoroughbred has been the teacher. That’s why my fight has never been about power. It’s never been about control. It’s about protecting this sport for the next generation, for daughters like mine. I left that modest race day emotionally spent. People from 10 to 90 years old came up to me. Handshakes. Encouragement. “Keep going.” “Don’t stop.” “We’re with you.” It meant more than you know. Two days earlier, Pat Cummings, Aron Wellman and Anita Motion hosted an Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners Town Hall on the state of this movement and the issues with the The Jockey Club. The 23-minute opening was clear, powerful, and courageous. Aron’s explanation of why he chose to add his voice after patiently watching this unfold for three years was compelling. I understand not everyone likes my tone or my style. But this isn’t figure skating and I’m not here for style points. Horse racing is at a fork in the road. One path is comfortable and leads to a dead end. The other is harder. Longer. Uncomfortable. But it leads to a bigger, brighter, sustainable future. I’ve always chosen the harder road. If you love this sport, if you care about the people in it, and most importantly, if you care about the Thoroughbred, please listen to that 23-minute opening. This mission has always been about three things: The sport. The people. And above all, the horse. Thank you.

I’ve been called “wog” before. It nearly destroyed my life. I have no idea how I coped. It stopped me from starting a family, building a business and buying a home. It stopped me from being involved in Australian politics and even impeded my ability to sue a sitting Prime Minister from the executive of a major political party. It was debilitating… ahhhh, no. In truth, Australia is one of the most welcoming and fair-minded places in the world. When my grandparents migrated here from southern Europe some more than 100 years ago, they assimilated. They wanted to be Australian, their kids wanted to be Australian. After all that’s why they came. I was brought up Australian. We spoke English at home, and had friends of all backgrounds. But the one thing we had in common was our shared love for this country and a common Australian culture. I started growing up here before Paul Keating talked about multiculturalism. I don’t understand why people would leave their homelands and not want to be a real and full part of the Australian experience. If people want to keep their culture intact, and raise their children as something other than fully Australian, why come here at all? Some might say that there are cultures that are totally incompatible with our Western system, and I am not prosecuting that case, but if immigration (which has always been a part of the Australian story) is going to work and serve Australia, then surely people must be prepared to accept a new way of life upon arrival. It’s not as if the country has not afforded everyone great opportunities in the past - before the new post Covid era today, where there seems to be a total lack of opportunity for anyone. I always find it disturbing to hear politicians and talking heads in the media call Australia a racist nation - calling Australians racist. Many of these speakers are themselves recent immigrants. They sit in the Australian parliament and are paid by the Australian taxpayer, or they work for the ABC among other senior private and public sector positions. Many have much better lives and opportunities than people who have been here for hundreds of years, and even tens of thousands of years. They are privileged to have a voice, and instead of using that voice to thank the people of this country for the opportunities afforded to them, they slander us all. Call us names and try to shame us. Many of us gave up the cultures of our heritage to be a part of the Australian story and that is the only way we will have anything like social cohesion moving forward. Gratitude goes a long way, especially when one considers the fact that most immigration has been an imposition. There has rarely been a national conversation, or even any airtime given to those who would want to insist on a reduction or ending of the immigration programme. More, it is a sin to suggest that multiculturalism has failed. Forget the loss of trust and rights (like speech) that have been the absolute consequence of a system so obviously under pressure. I don’t care where you come from, what you believe, or who you think you are, if you don’t think you get a fair go here – you could always go back to wherever it is you come from. I’m sure it is the same advice I would be given if I were to go to whatever country that is and whinge about just about anything. The reason people stay is, even with the terrible political situation, it is still the best country in the world to live and raise a family and there are opportunities for anyone who wants to have a go. We must restore trust, and that starts with frank and honest conversations – even if they are unpleasant or inconvenient. I just want Australia back.

ANOTHER DAY MINNEAPOLIS HOLDS POLITICAL HOSTAGES!!!!!! Yesterday Jacob Frey, the Minneapolis police department and numerous media outlets, all conspiring to brainwash and force a certain narrative, put out LIES about Jake and his security BLAMING THEM FOR THEIR RABID VIOLENT RESIDENTS causing chaos and destruction. FIRST OF ALL, Jacob Frey said them driving up onto the sidewalk was to insight violence.. WELL actually, Jakes security spoke with the police before the rally to discuss where they could go and gave them their exact plan. THE POLICE NEVER SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE. They also went to city hall beforehand and spoke with their security to plan where Jake and their vehicles could pull up to!!!! WHY DO YOU THINK THE BARRICADES WERE ALREADY SET UP THERE? NEXT, if you watch the video footage I have attached you will see Jake and his security simply pulled up in the trucks in their designated area, while the people who were waiting for them across the street began giving orders for violence OVER A MICROPHONE and they all rushed over to him and start attacking him. They swarmed the truck, climbed inside, brutally assaulted everyone in there, threw objects at them, slashed their tires, held knives up at them, and we’re trying to jab them in the skull with the bottom of a stop sign. These violent animals were trying to kill Jake and his Security, and left them shielding themselves in the back of their truck. THE POLICE THEN STOOD IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK AS THE TRUCK MOVED AT A SNAILS PACE, and the police created a barricade, so the truck was able to get out of there and they could flee for their lives. SO NO, There was never a time a truck drove through people or into people. THE POLICE REMAINED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK, GUARDING THEM OUT UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE A CLEAR PATH TO LEAVE. There was also no one on the sidewalk when the trucks arrived and I have attached that picture also on this post. Jake was unable to even speak any words before they began attacking him!! Also, in the video you hear a man by the name of Andrew Mercado, continuously, screaming that this is what happens if Jake comes to his city… and threatening to kill the man standing next to Jake in the truck. That is premeditated attacks and threats against somebody they do not like because of words. It is clear as day these people came there to insight a riot and even using their own words, wanted to kill them! Now Jacob Frey, the Minneapolis Police Department and the local news work together trying to cover up what truly happened yesterday. Unfortunately, for them, it is all on video and they will be exposed for taking in political prisoners for their own disgusting satisfaction and into appears the violent thugs that control their city. Please help Jake and his Security as we fight this battle.

I am not arrogant and self indulged enough to think I speak for ALL Australia unlike our dickhead champagne socialist class who declare shit like they have any fucking idea what ALL Australians think. But I guess recent evidence suggests I do share views on a lot of topics with an awful lot of fed up, working class, lower class and middle class Aussies who have had a gutful of woke, entitled, arrogant arseholes who think they are special, politicians, celebrities, purple haired banshees and blokes in dresses who think they should play in women’s sports, professors, judges and other systematised wankers who think indoctrinating kids to be cats is acceptable and the sort of silly cunts who want to tell little boys they can become pregnant and have their period, all while desperately trying to instil white guilt into our kids and drive race based policy all because of climate change. You people are retarded no ifs buts or maybes so it’s fair that I am probably a bit of a spokes person of sort for the opposite people. The ones who get up early to work their asses off, the ones who love Australia, the ones who think these third world middle eastern shit wars should stay over their, the ones who believe Australia should regardless of racial background, religion sexuality be a merit based society where those who come and assimilate and work hard and put Australia above their homeland as a priority where their kids can grow up safe and successful without having to dodge bullets and bombs, where women are actually equals where it matters and put on pedestals where appropriate, where motherhood isn’t “just a mum” role but actually is the most important role in our children’s lives and the homemaker mother and wife should be the most exalted role in Australia. Where schools should be teaching our kids to read, write and count not jibbering diatribe about left wing socialist ideology, where police should be serve and protect citizens not the militant wing of corrupted political parties. I love Australia, I love liberty and I love my fellow average Aussies. Have a great day and at 5:30/6 pm tonight myself Dean McCrae - The spirit of self determination and Paul Funnell Future Wagga City Councillor will be releasing an invitation for everyone

‡ Might (the) Grass Ultimately Prove Greener? Golden Tempo, a two-year-old colt by Curlin, owned and bred by Phipps Stable & St. Elias Stables, LLC, recently won his debut in eye-catching style. It was a 6f. MSW race at the Fair Grounds, and he came from the clouds, as they say, to win going away. He earned a 78 Beyer figure, and a 12 on Ragozin sheets. The attached video clip begins roughly midway through the turn, with the announcer saying that "Golden Tempo has dropped back to last", but the colt actually raced at the back of the pack from just after the break. With only one race under his belt, it is a bit early to be making confident assumptions, particularly as he was both bred to be, and appears to be a later-developing physical type. But the challenge of using even scant available evidence to make projections can be both fun, and potentially useful. So let's dive in. *** Given the colt's pedigree and physical type, I would say that it would be safe to assume that he will prove better suited to longer races, though the question of whether or not he is likely to stay effectively beyond 9f. is very much open at this early stage. What interests me the most, though, are a couple of more nuanced, and possibly connected aspects of Golden Tempo's debut, and what they may imply when filtered through the lens of his pedigree and physical characteristics. First, does the fact that the colt rallied from last to win over 6f., a distance well short of those to which he is likely to prove better suited, necessarily imply that he is a "one-run" horse? Or will he, given more ground, and experience, prove capable of displaying good tactical speed? I would note that when inexperienced horses fail to break alertly, and/or take some time to get their feet under them after the break, some, like Golden Tempo, lag back for a few furlongs before mounting a late run, while others show some, if not a burst of speed, earlier in the running. I think it's fair to say that broadly speaking, the former are more likely to prove to be one-run types than the latter. While that is far from sufficient evidence to confidently assume that Golden Tempo will necessarily turn out to be a one-run horse, it does at least hint in that direction. Another, even more nuanced hint, is his action. When I first watched the replay of the race, my initial thought was that the colt was finishing like a typical one-run horse. What do I mean by that? The best way to explain it is to say that he appears, in a sense, to be pulling with his forelegs, more than pushing from behind. The distinction is subtle, so bear with me. Dirt surfaces are, albeit to differing degrees, "break-away" surfaces. Think of what it is like when you run on a beach over loose sand, as opposed to concrete, or a running track. Some horses handle dirt surfaces well, while others don't, and there are several variables that contribute to such preferences. Pedigree is, of course, a primary consideration, but often the more important variables are conformation, physical type, and action. In the U.S., dirt horses are often, though not always, more heavily muscled than those best suited to turf. I'd suggest that one of the more likely reasons is that speed is such an important quality in American dirt racing, and muscular horses, especially through the hind-quarters, are typically able to accelerate more quickly. It may also be the case that strong propulsion from behind helps horses to, in a sense, power through looser surfaces. There are exceptions, of course, and plenty of them. Fierceness, to use a recent example, had a very high cruising speed, yet was not heavily muscled, nor did he have a powerful looking hind end. But every aspect of the game features exceptions, and they help to define, rather than diminish the value of pattern recognition. Beyond the "pulling" action that I mentioned above, I found the embedded photo posted by his trainer to be interesting as well. While it's not an ideal conformation shot, he does give the impression of a leggy, later-developing type, and not yet fully "furnished", despite being an early February foal. He also gives me the impression, both overall and in terms of foreleg conformation, of a horse that would likely be suited to turf racing. Now, needless to say, due to typical preferences and the incentives found in American racing, there is little, if any chance of Golden Tempo ever racing on turf, as long as he continues to perform well on dirt. But setting that aside, I dug into his pedigree in an effort to see if there were any further hints to be found. Superficially, it's easy to see why most would assume that the colt was bred to be a dirt horse. After all, his sire, Curlin, and dam-sire, Bernardini, were both dirt performers, and are best known as sires of dirt horses. His dam, Carrumba, also performed well on dirt. However, on closer inspection, I wouldn't be so confident in that thumbnail reading. Consider that Golden Tempo does not closely resemble Curlin, in part in terms of coat color. And while many would consider that to be of little importance, I would disagree, based on long experience. What I mean is that I have often found value in connecting the appearance of horses which don't closely resemble their own sires, with other genetic influences that are not too distant. And in this case, I would say that Golden Tempo reminds me more of Curlin's sire, Smart Strike, and some of his offspring. Though he only raced on dirt himself, Smart Strike got plenty of good turf horses (e.g. Champion English Channel) through a successful career at stud. As for Golden Tempo's dam, Carrumba, she has thus far produced one other foal to race, Hype House, a filly which failed to place in three starts. She was trained by Shug McGaughey, and, interestingly, all three of her starts were on turf. His second-dam, Castanet, was by El Prado (Ire). Though a versatile sire, El Prado produced top turf horses such as Artie Schiller and Kitten's Joy. Castanet was also trained by Shug McGaughey, and she only started twice. The first race was on dirt, and the second on turf, in which she placed third. Castanet produced Dancing All Night, a filly also trained by Shug McGaughey, which began her career with a number promising dirt races, before appearing to plateau, and being switched to the turf for her final two starts. That she was unplaced in both (the latter was taken off the turf) is not nearly as important, to my mind, as why Shug might have chosen to make the surface switch. Golden Tempo's third-dam, Dancinginmydreams, produced the Gr. I turf winner Dancing Forever, and several other good turf runners. So, while I wouldn't say that Golden Tempo's bottom-line screams turf, it has been more than versatile enough to consider the possibility, given other hints, or encouragements. *** Finally, there is a good chance that this analysis will ultimately prove to be purely academic, and I'd be perfectly happy to see Golden Tempo thrive on dirt, and perhaps develop into a serious KY Derby prospect. But if, by chance, he were to plateau at some point, or for any other reason be given an opportunity to try the turf, I have a fairly strong suspicion that he would adapt very well, and reward the colt's connections.

Dear Australians, From here in Israel, I've been watching the news about President Isaac Herzog's visit to your country. His trip to console the Jewish community after the horrific Jew-eating massacre at Bondi Beach, Albanese's invitation and calm welcome, and especially those big protests in Sydney. Hard to miss any of it. You might have seen the crowds, heard the chants, and thought it was just about Israeli policies or the president showing up. But take a closer look at the videos from those rallies. Grace Tame, former Australian of the Year, led the crowd in "from Gadigal to Gaza, globalise the intifada." Those words aren't coming from some far-off place. They're in clear Australian accents, right there in the middle of Sydney. When Herzog gets back to Israel, he returns to a Jewish state that's proud, knows who we are, and stands firm against the growing hostility. We deal with this connected movement every day, one that mixes jihadi ideas with political activism and has reached Western cities like yours. The same people chanting for intifada, shouting slogans many see as calls to violence, waving Palestinian flags, often hiding their faces, and leaving out the Australian flag. They'll still be in Australia. Your neighbors, your fellow residents or citizens. Understand this: these protests aren't only about one leader or one country's actions. They're aimed at what Herzog and Israel stand for. The liberal democratic Western values of freedom, rule of law, and openness that made Australia the strong, successful country it is. Here the Palestinian flag is being used more and more not for self-determination, but as part of a bigger push to weaken and break down the West from the inside. A modern Trojan Horse. I'm not claiming your country. It's yours, built by your people and your history and your ideals. I'm just an Israeli watching from afar, worried for everyone who cares about those same freedoms. Europe shows what happens when you ignore these signs too long. Don't let it get to the point where it's too hard to turn back. This isn't just about standing with Israel or Jews, though that matters a lot to me. It's about standing up for Australia. For the future you want for your kids, and for the principles that make your nation great. With real concern and hope, From Israel

I just heard a story that left me truly speechless and gave me chills. A little background. Tziri Preis is a young woman who started an organization called InKredible Kids. In addition to her successful podcast, Tziri hosts daily Zoom meetings for kids to connect, talk, and build their self esteem. Every day, between 5,000 and 10,000 kids join the zoom. Anyway, on the Zoom two nights ago, Tziri invited an IDF solider who spoke to the kids, sang with the kids, and gave them an opportunity to feel this war on a more personal level. The soldier’s name was Noam and his stories and songs really inspired the kids but they also inspired Tziri, so she did something she never did before. After Noam was done singing, all the kids recited Psalms together and prayed for our soldiers. Instead of just saying the words, Tziri asked the kid who was leading the prayers to do something for her. She asked him if he’d be willing to say a certain verse with more strength, even shout it. Which verse? אלה ברכב ואלה בסוסים ואנחנו בשם יהוה אלהינו נזכיר It means: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.” In other words, it means that we don’t only rely on our army. We rely on Hashem. She asked Moshe, the kid leading the psalms to yell those words. She never did anything like that before but she was feeling very emotional and spiritual, so she asked. He obliged. He yelled those words, and the thousands of kids repeated after him. The Zoom ended and everyone went on with their lives. Until the next morning. Like many of us, Tziri woke up to the news of the heroic rescue mission in which two hostages were rescued and brought home. She was getting tons of texts telling her it was her prayers that led to this. She thanked those people and didn’t make much of it. Until… She opened the news to hear more about this mission and the reports said that the rescue happened at 1:49 am, Israel time. That’s 6:49 pm, EST. Tziri had to check. What happened at that moment in the Zoom? Could it be….? Yes, it could. 6:49 pm EST, 1:49 am Israel time, thousands of children of all walks of life shook the heavens. They yelled to Hashem to please reveal Himself. They screamed as hard as they could that we are lucky to have the IDF, but Hashem runs the show. Hashem could not ignore them. That magical moment happened at EXACTLY 1:49 am Israel time as our heroes declared that they have our hostages in hand. I know some people have a hard time seeing God in all the darkness. Sometimes I do too. And maybe this is just a crazy coincidence, but also, maybe it’s not. I’m no statistics expert but the chances of those two events happening at exactly 1:49 am? I am thankful every day for our heroes on the front lines and I am thankful every day for Hashem who helps the IDF do what it needs to do to keep all His children safe. These children stormed the heavens and Hashem couldn’t ignore them. We all need to use the power of prayer to help keep our soldiers safe and achieve complete victory over our enemies. What a story. Thank you, Hashem!

Whites are the only race with high enough compassion levels to care so much about the well-being of other races, that they will literally adopt them into their own family, KNOWING that it will at the very least be a sizeable challenge for the rest of their lives. I personally knew multiple people back in middle/high school who were in these do-gooder Christian families, and adopted these African kids, as that was "the good Christian thing to do." And looking back now, I cannot remember a single one of these African adoptees who didn't do the black teenager thing when they hit that age, and create significant distress in the family unit they were brought into. (I even remember one example where my White friend and his adopted Ghanan "brother"—who were both on my rec soccer team—got in a fight so bad over some family dispute that they both ended up in the hospital, and missing school) In another case, a very rich, childless White couple in my town adopted a Mexican kid, and gave him EVERYTHING (beautiful house surrounded by nature, a nice car when he turned 16, private tutors/all the help he needed with school)...and he still burned out into drug addiction & alcoholism in his late-teens/twenties, because that's what his biological parents imprinted on him during those first few critical years of his life, before dumping him into an orphanage for some sucker White people to deal with. Last I heard, he was in jail. Tragic story, and very unfortunate for the kid who never had a chance due to shitty parents who never should've had him...but again, an example where White people need to STOP TRYING TO FIX EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEMS THAT THEY CANNOT FIX. Whites need to completely boycott adopting non-Whites (especially Africans), cold-turkey, and ONLY adopt White children if that's the familial path they choose to take. Otherwise, they are setting them up for practically-guaranteed disaster. [🎥IG: artorius.exe]
