Judge Orders ISPs to Block Pirate Bay in the UK
Published: May 01, 2012 at 6:07 am
File sharing sites have seldom been popular with the authorities, but the battle took a new twist last night when a judge in Britain ordered UK ISPs to block access to the website for British web users.
The BBC broke the news last night, revealing that the High Court ordered the blocking of the Swedish file sharing website The Pirate Bay.
UK ISPs, including Sky, Everything Everywhere, TalkTalk, O2 and Virgin Media must all prevent their users from accessing the site.
"Sites like The Pirate Bay destroy jobs in the UK and undermine investment in new British artists," the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) said.
British Telecom (BT) asked for a few more weeks to consider their own position on whether to block access to the site.
BPI's chief executive Geoff Taylor said: "The High Court has confirmed that The Pirate Bay infringes copyright on a massive scale.
"Its operators line their pockets by commercially exploiting music and other creative works without paying a penny to the people who created them.
"This is wrong - musicians, sound engineers and video editors deserve to be paid for their work just like everyone else."
The BPI asked for the most popular ISPs to voluntarily block access to The Pirate Bay last November but when that did not happen they took to the courts instead.
Virgin Media said it will comply with the legal order but feels that blocking access to websites is only part of the measures that need to be taken to stop piracy.
"As a responsible ISP, Virgin Media complies with court orders addressed to the company but strongly believes that changing consumer behaviour to tackle copyright infringement also needs compelling legal alternatives, such as our agreement with Spotify, to give consumers access to great content at the right price."
The Pirate Bay was founded in 2003 and has since become one of the foremost file sharing websites on the Internet, so this ruling represents a significant development for media producers.
Critics of the ruling suggest that it can easily be circumvented by using proxy servers, and represents a slippery slope towards Internet censorship. It comes after plans were leaked last year on UK plans to censor the Internet.
Do you agree with this move or is it pointless censorship?

A young Spanish Springs squad is hoping to make the most of its mat time this winter and continue its reign as the most dominant team in the North. Reed is looking to find its identity under first-year coach Mike Klapp. And Sparks is working with a short-handed roster.
Reed Raiders
Like nearly all prep wrestling programs, the Raiders have used the extended holiday break and time before league matches to compete outside northern Nevada. Reed competed in Chico, Calif. last weekend.
The Raiders boasted fifth- and seventh-place team finishes in 16- and 20-team fields respectively.
"We've been competitive but I think we are certainly a different team than we were last year with the absence of Spencer (Empey)," Klapp said. "But we have some kids that are doing pretty well."
Empey has been the face, and vocal leader for the Reed wrestling program and now competes at Cal Poly.
Klapp listed freshman Israel Casarez (120-pound class), Jake Otuafi (145) and Erik Stockwell (170) as his group's most consistent wrestlers this season.
"It is a bit of an interesting thing being a first-year head coach and trying do that right," Klapp said. "But they (the team) have been really receptive and I've had some supportfrom some good assistant coaches as well. I feel positive moving forward. I think we are improving each week."
The rookie coach said continuing to teach his group to "wrestle correctly" and develop "good foundations" to make smart decisions on the mat will be points of emphasis moving into league meets.
The Raiders host McQueen next Wednesday in their second High Desert League dual of the season. They topped Hug a month ago.
Spanish Springs
For a program that has been a model of consistency, winning four of the last five North titles, Spanish Springs is treading in uncertain waters early this season, featuring a young roster.
"We have a lot of freshmen in our lineup right now and it's about getting them some high school mat time," Spanish Springs coach Joe Imelli said. "We have been to a couple pretty tough tournaments. They're coming along. We have some kids that are doing really well."
Outside of an early-season HDL win over McQueen, who many believe could be the team to challenge the Cougs this winter, the Purple has competed in a number of large tournaments in preparation for what appears to be another playoff push.
"You see some different kids and you don't know their names and don't know how they did from youth so they can just kind of wrestle," Imelli said. "You have to get away from seeing the same people every time."
Among this year's returners Imelli said he has been pleased with are: Tyler Poalillo (106-pound class), Brik Chesley (182) and Blake Boswell (132). But he said there is still plenty to improve upon heading into the middle of the season.
"With the younger guys who are used to youth wrestling, and having a lot of success, they have to understand they're wrestling some seniors," Imelli said. "We have to throw them into that fire and let them know what varsity wrestling is about and they've responded really well."
The Cougars compete in a tournament Friday and Saturday hosted by Douglas High.
Sparks Railroaders
Sparks started the season with 11 wrestlers and is now down to single digits – nine.
With Washoe County's new school calendar this year, the semester ended before the Holiday Break and a pair of wrestlers did not make grades. Sparks coach Ric Fehr added that his "middle weights are backed up so we don't have a lot of team scores."
Despite early season difficulties, senior Tymon Dozier (145-pound class) has won a pair of tournaments, claiming the Lowry Tournament title as well as the Lovelock Invitational crown.
"We are still working at building the program, trying to get the numbers, but we are having fun," Sparks coach Rick Fehr said. "The kids are getting some success and we're mostly young kids."
Fehr said he enjoys his team's ability to mix work with pleasure, saying his athletes enjoy their time on the mat but also work to improve daily.
With a freshman- and-sophomore-heavy group, Fehr said the biggest area he is stressing is simply putting his kids on the mat.
"The biggest thing we have is mat time. One of the biggest challenges we have is we don't have any kids that have come through club wrestling per say," Fehr said. "I try to take every opportunity to put them on the mat. If they are not in the right weight class, we have to bump them up, getting that mat time and that experience. That's our main goal."

Can anyone take me through the steps of what i need to activate it to use the iPod Wi-Fi Etc
ANYONE.... Anyone at all
man there is a search button.
Search for the point and click method
that was so far the best activation for me with no problems
Well first things first ....
Windows or Mac ...?
Take your Phone out of the box
use the wall plug and usb cable and charge your phone for at least 3 hours
this will charge up your battery
This is for ------ WINDOWS ONLY -----
Download these two files:
Run iBrickr to "jailbreak" the phone. This basically opens up the iPhone so that you can access files to it. Once you have the iPhone unjailed, run the point and click activation with youtube. Worked great for us.
There's a gigantic thread about it here if you need more info. But doing what we did was the fastest and easiest:
Hope this helps...

Surprised me!!!! This matco wire striper is amazing im a ford tech and i bought this to remove wires in tight spots like underneath steering wheel and dash area. It makes installing/removing alarms super easy definitely recconend February 26, 2014
This product has always been great I've had this tool once before and it never failed me then. Someone used it leaving it in a customers car and it was never returned. I purchased another and it works just the same as my last one. Great tool!!! October 10, 2013
Standard equipment on our trucks we issued these on our service trucks and we love them, they strip even the caked on, oily wires. October 1, 2011
An absolute must for an audio/electronics guy!! I had my first set of these strippers about 12 years ago. They lasted me up until about a year ago...being used at least 5 days a week. The only reason they failed is because a PT green employee tried to strip 4ga with them! I called my Matco Distributor and bought another set that same day. I use these to strip wire anywhere from 18ga to 8ga - even though the aren't rated for it, they do the job beautifully. If you don't own these wire strippers, you should! October 13, 2011
wire strippers these are decent strippers, ive had a couple different kinds and these do pretty good on the smaller gauge wire, the bigger gauge wire and thicker nomex covering is a little difficult but it also has an adjuster on it to open and close the teeth more or less to the size of the wire you are stripping December 18, 2011
very good strippers i use these quite often. gauge adjustment and length of strip easy to control. wire cutter a plus! a defintate goto tool. January 23, 2012
Does what it's supposed to the wire stripper works great. also very durable, i have dropped it several times from numerous heights and works just as well as when i first bought it. October 25, 2011
Great to use! This product made my electrical work so much easier and allowed me to finish my work quicker. This is a great product. October 20, 2011

Favre spent 17 years – some heroic, some pitiful – in the National Football League. Selected by the Atlanta Falcons in 1991 as their 33rd overall draft pick, Favre's first four passes were interceptions. Atlanta traded him to Green Bay the next year.
Favre found a home with the Packers and became their offense's Big Cheese over the next 16 years, wining one Super Bowl after the 1996 season and returning the next year, only to get spanked by Denver in one of the greatest Super Bowl games in history.
During his career in Green Bay, Favre was a three-time MVP and went to nine Pro Bowls. He is one of only three quarterbacks in the NFL to have five 4,000-yard passing seasons and has a phenomenal 55 300-yard passing games. He is retiring with the career records for most touchdown passes, most passing yards and most victories by a starting quarterback. He was also the Cal Ripken of football, with 275 consecutive starts for the Packers.
Unfortunately for Favre and Green Bay fanatics, he left the field the same way he entered it – by throwing an interception, this time in the NFC Championship game against the G men to end Green Bay's run to the Super Bowl.
After his retirement was announced, Favre admitted that he was simply tired, and I don't blame him.
"I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, 'I am just tired mentally. I am just tired,'" Favre told ESPN after Monday's announcement. "I know it shouldn't feel unsuccessful, but the only way to come back and make that be the right decision would be to come back and win a Super Bowl. And honestly, the odds of that, they're tough. Those are big shoes to fill and I guess it was a challenge I wasn't up for."
Favre was a popular quarterback on a national scale. Both his and Green Bay's success and popularity garnered the team a large number of nationally televised games. For me, having Green Bay on Monday Night Football a couple times a year was exciting, whether I liked them at the time or not, which I usually didn't.
But I could always respect Favre and his work ethic. Granted, I thought he should have hung it up two seasons ago. He was terrible in the 05/06 seasons, throwing more interceptions than touchdown passes.
But last year he had records to break and, much to my dismay went ahead of John Elway in most victories by a starting quarterback. With that, he surprisingly started playing well again – salt-and-pepper-hair and all. That's when I became a fan.
Favre was playing football for fun and that attitude put him and the rest of the Packers into the NFC Championship game. Did anyone see how gleeful he was when he took the touchdown record earlier in the season? After the catch that broke the record, Favre shook hands with every Tom, Dick and Harry for at least 10 minutes in complete joy.
I also became a Favre fan last season because it seemed Green Bay was the only team that could compete against the then-undefeated New England Patriots. Yes, I was willing to jump on any team's bandwagon that had a shot at beating the Pats, and I still think they could have done it had they made it to the Super Bowl.
Unfortunately, Packer fans have a tough time ahead of them. We here in Bronco country have been reeling from the retirement of football-God John Elway since 1999. There will never be another Elway, but we can't seem to let go of the glory years.
It will be the same for Packers' fans. Every new Green Bay quarterback, no matter how good or respected, will be compared to their patron-saint Favre. And it will be decades before cheeseheads will forget about his greatness and move on. So I say to you Green Bay fans, good luck in your mental gloom over the next few years. I know what you are going through. Stay away from the Favre highlight films, it only opens old wounds.
And for God's sake, don't pick up Brian Griese as a quick fix for your quarterback woes.

Creating a fairer Britain
This page provides information about the Commission's monitoring and enforcement work on the equality duty.
Public authorities in England (and non-devolved bodies in Scotland and Wales) which are subject to the specific duties had until 31 January 2012 to publish information to demonstrate compliance with the general equality duty. Schools and pupil referral units had until 6 April 2012 to publish their information. The Commission published guidance to help public authorities decide what equality information they need to publish. If public authorities do not publish equality information as required by the specific duty regulations, they risk being subjected to legal challenge (including enforcement action by the Commission), as well as potential damage to their reputation.
The Commission undertook an assessment of the information published by public authorities (not including schools) between February and April 2012. This covered 1,159 public authorities in England. The websites of public authorities were reviewed, to assess to what extent they had published relevant and accessible information. The aims of the assessment were to
A report, Publishing equality information: Commitment, engagement and transparency sets out the findings of the assessment. The report not only looks at performance on the specific duty, but it also sets out what good practice looks like. The report concludes with a number of recommendations for public authorities on how to improve their performance. The findings in the report should enable public authorities to learn from each other and to improve the quality, extent and clarity of the equality information that they produce and publish, in order to improve their equality outcomes.
Public authorities in England (and non-devolved bodies in Scotland and Wales) which are subject to the specific duties had until 6 April 2012 to publish equality objectives. The Commission published guidance to help public authorities to develop their objectives. If public authorities do not publish equality objectives, as required by the specific duty regulations, they risk being subjected to legal challenge (including enforcement action by the Commission), as well as potential damage to their reputation.
The Commission undertook an assessment of the objectives published by public authorities between September and December 2012. This covered 2010 public authorities in England. The websites of public authorities were reviewed, to assess to whether they had published equality objectives. The report documents the number and proportion of public authorities publishing objectives. Where objectives were published, it reports on:
The Equality Objectives report PDF | Word
Factsheets by sector assessed
Government departments PDF | Word
National organisations PDF| Word
This section provides information on enforcement issues with regard to the equality duty.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission uses a range of strategies to ensure compliance with the equality duty, including:
We select the most appropriate tool to ensure we achieve the best outcomes depending on the circumstances. For example, we recognise that working with organisations can, in appropriate cases, achieve wider and more sustainable change. The availability of our enforcement powers encourages organisations to work with us, so where appropriate, we have built positive, collaborative relationships rather than adopting an adversarial approach.
The Commission has strategically used its enforcement powers to bring about positive change with maximum and lasting impact. We have applied agreed criteria - set out in our legal strategy - to determine whether, when and how we might use our powers to best effect.
As a Commission, we have pursued a range of actions to secure compliance with the equality duties. The Commission has worked to support public authorities and to bring about outcomes which change organisational culture, policy and service provision. Within this context, we have undertaken extensive pre-enforcement action work with numerous authorities relating to all the equality duties.
Where appropriate, we use our statutory enforcement power (section 31 of the Equality Act 2006) to assess the extent to which or the manner in which a person has complied with both the general and specific duty. In doing so, the Commission must make clear to the public authority the areas to be covered by the assessment and allow public authorities to make representations.
The Commission has a power to enforce breaches of the general equality duty by serving a compliance notice upon completion of a formal assessment (under section 31 of the Equality Act 2006). It also has a power to enforce breaches of the specific duties by serving a compliance notice.
The Commission has a power to institute judicial review proceedings in matters of relevance to its functions including where a public authority has breached the general equality duty. See more on judicial review.
The Commission has a power to intervene in proceedings to assist the court in clarifying the law. The Commission has intervened in a number of legal cases and it will continue to do so. When it intervenes in a case, the Commission is not supporting one side or the other but offering expert advice to the court on how to interpret the law. It has already used this power extensively with the intention of ensuring that the courts set helpful legal precedents. See examples of our interventions.
Where the Commission suspects that a public authority is breaching the equality duty, it may enter into an agreement with the authority whereby the authority agrees to take certain steps to comply and in return the Commission agrees not to issue a compliance notice.

As part of the MAKYBE strategic business plan implemented 3 years ago it was decided to sell a portion of the property to increase productivity for the operation.
The Makybe brand has another blueblood ready to rise to the big occasion. Wales (2c Redoute's Choice - Valkyrie Diva by Jade Robbery) defied a betting blow-out and a protest to win the LR Redoute's Choice Stakes (1200m) on debut at Caulfield on Saturday.
MAKYBE shuttler Street Hero sired his first winner with his first starter in Florida on Sunday. The brilliant David Vivian trained filly Street Magic won by five lengths and change over 900 metres at Calder.
The 2012 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale is done and dusted for another year, so what did we make of it and who were the winners, read on for the annual A to Z wrap up of Australia's premier bloodstock event.
They sold the two top lots of the sale. Tony and Deslee Santic's Makybe Stud sold nine youngsters at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale at an average $580,000 including the top colt and filly, the half-sister by Redoute's Choice to Black Caviar (consigned on behalf of Gilgai Farm) fetching $2.6 million and the half-brother by Street Cry (IRE) to Makybe Diva selling for $1.2 million.
It was a day for well-bred young horses around Australia on Wednesday with winners at Canterbury in Sydney and Sandown Park in Melbourne hinting at more to come in the future, writes Darryl Sherer.
When you call Makybe Diva your aunty and you cost $600,000, it's only to be expected that you can run.
MAKYBE topped day four at the Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale with four yearlings selling for a total price of $309,500. Overall the draft presented by Team MAKYBE has performed exceptionally well at the sales with the stud securing second position by aggregate selling twenty five yearlings for a total of $2,342,000.
Street Hero's first crop of Australian yearlings were presented for sale on day one of the Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale at Oaklands Junction and averaged a sale price of $93,750, over six times his service fee.
The Gai Waterhouse trained Pure Hustle is Golden Slipper bound after producing a super impressive trial at Randwick yesterday morning.
Makybe's exciting young sire Purrealist posted his third winner at Moonee Valley on Friday night when the Hawkes Racing trained filly Anjea bolted away to win as she pleased.
First-season sire Purrealist (Tale Of The Cat) has made a bright start at stud and last night at Moonee Valley added his third winner when Anjea (2 f ex Smytzer's Rose, by Danehill) dashed away from her rivals to win the $30,000 William Cook's 90th birthday Plate for juveniles over 1000m.
The dream start to the stud career for Victorian stallion Purrealist (Makybe Stud) has continued with Pure Whisper winning at Doomben on Saturday.

The Gai Waterhouse-trained Pure Hustle made a winning career debut in a 2yo handicap over 1100 metres at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday to credit his sire Purrealist (Tale Of The Cat) with a winner from his first runner.
Slick times were the order of the day at today's first breeze up session for next month's Magic Millions National Horses in Training Sale.
When it comes to the Makybe Diva family anything is possible.
MAKYBE owners Tony and Deslee Santic today confirmed they would be returning Tugela (photos attached), the dam of the triple Melbourne Cup winning legend Makybe Diva to the Diva's sire, Desert King.
The hype continues surrounding MAKYBE resident stallion Purrealist with the first of his 2yos presented at the official trials at Cranbourne this morning. Purrplexed, ridden by Jamie Mott and trained by leading trainer Danny O'Brien is the first Victorian 2yo trial winner for the season.
On the 16th August 2011, MAKYBE Racing & Breeding confirmed that legendary mare Makybe Diva gave birth to her fourth foal, a magnificent Lonhro colt weighing 52kgs.
This week officially signalling the start of the breeding season the team at MAKYBE were happy to share the latest photographs of Makybe Diva and her foal at 10 days old.
MAKYBE has confirmed that Makybe Diva has given birth to her fourth foal, a magnificent Lonhro colt weighing 52kgs at 3.00am this morning. This is the first time that Makybe Diva has foaled in Victoria.
Game on at MAKYBE...a strong well boned colt arrived last week to mark the start of the foal season at MAKYBE. The colt is by Wilander out of a well bred mare Our Indian Rose.
He cost $600,000, so you'd like to think he could run.
Mares in foal to Purrealist, Street Hero, Tale of the Cat and Casino Prince.
Mares by leading broodmare sires Sadler's Wells, Anabaa, Singspiel and Rainbow Quest.
Opportunity beckons,
MAKYBE has confirmed that PURREALIST will stand his fourth season at $8,800 inc GST. The 2011 service fee remains unchanged from his previous three seasons.
While all attention has been on Rocket Man for his comeback to Singapore racing in Sunday's Group 1 $500,000 Lion City Cup over 1200m, Better Be The One is somewhat the forgotten horse.
The Lee Freedman trained first starter Specter saluted at Mornington on Sunday.
THEY say Black Caviar's little brother looked a million dollars up in Sydney - and they were right.
With Black Caviar due in Sydney to burn the turf at Randwick this Saturday in the Group I ATC TJ Smith Stakes there was always going to be tremendous interest in her yearling half-brother by Casino Prince who was sold at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale on Wednesday afternoon for $1,025,000.
MAKYBE bred and part owned Shadowofexcellence takes his place in the Gr 1 AJC Derby on Saturday. Whilst a rank outsider his pedigree and racing style suggest he will give a good account of himself in the Derby.
MAKYBE bred Better Be The One ran an incredibly brave race in the $US1M Group 2 Al Quoz Sprint on Saturday at the prestigious Dubai World Cup meeting.
Purrealist's sire Tale of the Cat (USA) (pictured) enjoyed a two state stakes double with Pureness staking a claim for the Doncaster in winning the Group II ATC Ajax Stakes at Rosehill and Booklet snaring her first Black Type success in the SAJC Adelaide Guineas at Morphettville.
A GOOD number of Easter yearlings have genuine international appeal, but none more so than the siblings to champions Makybe Diva and Black Caviar.
TALENTED MAKYBE bred More Than Ready son Common Interest will add an Australian flavour to Saturday's Dubai World Cup meeting, with the expat-now called Better Be The One - set to line up in one of the co-features.
MAKYBE had good reason to cheer on the weekend with stocks soaring in the pedigree of exciting shuttle stallion Street Hero, standing at MAKYBE. Representatives from both sides of his pedigree achieved Group success with promise of more plenty more riches to come.
Shadowofexcellence (pictured as a yearling at MAKYBE 2009), the three quarter brother to Makybe Diva looks on track for an AJC Derby campaign this Autumn after a decisive win at Newcastle today.
Bought for $1,2 million at the 2009 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, this colt was the most expensive winner in Australia over the weekend.
At this week's Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale at Oaklands, MAKYBE sold the 2nd highest priced yearling of the sale to Ricky Yiu from Hong Kong for $320,000. Lot 473, from the all conquering Fastnet Rock from the family of outstanding sprinter Isca was viewed by many judges throughout the sale as one of the colts of the sale.

Blue Sky Stallion Fund 2008 graduate Better Be The One, has been invited by the Dubai Racing Club to contest the US$1m Alquoz Sprint (1000m) at next months Dubai World Cup meeting on March 26.
MAKYBE bred Vatican ran a sensational race at Sandown today in the Listed Chairman's Stakes over 1000m. The race was an important lead up race to the major 2yo races of the autumn and looks a very strong form race with some well credentialed two year olds in the field including Rosehill winner Hollyweird and Moonee Valley winner Metonymy. The winner of the race the debutante, Atomic, rumoured to be the best two year old in work at Lee Freedman's Markdel stables is now Golden Slipper bound.
With the yearling market focus today across the Tasman at the Premier Sale at Karaka MAKYBE's exciting young stallion Purrealist had a close relation sell for $440,000, a price tag which pushed the handsome bay colt into the top 10 on day one of the sale.
Analysis by Tara Madgwick from Breednet of the sales results of the first season sires at the Magic Millions Gold Coast revealed that PURREALIST (pictured) had an amazing sale.
Magic Millions will be holding its 24th annual yearling sale in less than two weeks time and thousands of thoroughbred industry identities from around the world will travel to Queensland to participate in the BMW Magic Millions summer carnival.
The carnival runs from January 7th through until Wednesday, 19th, includes a tip-top race day and the first major yearling sale in Australia.
Two track record holders reside at MAKYBE both are bay mares and both broke their tracks records at Flemington.
MAKYBE is proud to present its 2009 crop starting with ten outstanding yearlings at the Magic Millions 2011 Gold Coast Yearlings Sale starting on the 12th of January.
Talented Tale of the Cat (USA) gelding Gathering was competitive with some of the best three year-olds in the land last spring, so it was no surprise to see him go all the way and post a Group I victory at Ascot in Perth on Saturday when forging clear to win the WATC Railway Stakes.
On Tuesday night it became official at the Cartier sponsored Horse of the Year awards at the Dorchester Hotel in London, with MAKYBE bred Starspangledbanner recognized as Europe's Champion Sprinter.
MAKYBE's exciting stallions Purrealist and Street Hero have representatives of their respective sirelines set to do battle on the Breeders Cup Program in the the US this weekend. Street Hero's sire Street Cry has the wonder mare Zenyatta in the Gr 1 BC Classic. Whilst Purrealist's sire Tale of the Cat has Gio Ponti in the Gr 1 BC Turf Mile.
Four-time Group 1 winner Starspangledbanner has been retired from racing and will stand his first season at Coolmore in Ireland
in 2011. The Aidan O'Brien trained son of Choisir is set to achieve the rare distinction of being crowned a champion sprinter in both Europe and Australia within a calendar year on the back of an
outstanding three year old season that has seen him win at Group 1 level in both hemispheres.
Promising two year old colt Premier Pegasus the Fusaichi Pegasus half brother to MAKYBE's exciting young Street Cry stallion Street Hero (pictured) made it two wins in as many starts when saluting in the Jack Goodman Stakes at Oak Tree in California on the weekend.
Amongst the quality undercard for the Cox Plate is the third running of the newly renamed Inglis Banner, a $250,000 race over 1000m restricted to two year old's nominated to the Inglis Race Series.
There's a lot to live up to when you are a half-brother to three stakes-winners and one of them is a legend.
MAKYBE Racing and Breeding continued their outstanding record to produce Group performers with Heartsareforlove running a gallant second in the prestigious Group 1 Schweppes Thousand Guineas at Caulfield yesterday.
While Purrealist's sire Tale of the Cat continues to do the job here in Australia with the phenomenal run of Trusting in the Gr 1 Epsom, Purrness and a recent stakes winner Gathering, he remains at the top of the sire tables in America. Gio Ponti, his star US representative won over the weekend over a mile on turf at Gr 1. Bloodhorse.com reports on the impressive victory.
Street Hero's sire Street Cry has well and truly asserted himself as a global super stallion. He is the sire of the highest rated Timeform femail in the US, Zenyatta. Incredibly her unbeaten record is now 19 straight with the recent victory in the Oak Tree's Lady's Secret Stakes (G1) at Hollywood Park on the 2nd of October.
His half-brother has been strutting the world stage this year winning a pair of Group One sprints in the UK as well as being crowned Australia's best sprinter at the recent Australian Horse of the Year Awards, so it is little wonder this colt is a star already.
With Whobegotyou back to his brilliant best when taking the Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes at Moonee Valley on Saturday, it was the turn of Godolphin's two-year-old colt Saamidd to keep the Street Cry (Ire) flag flying in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes on St Leger day at Doncaster, after which he was installed as favourite for next year's 2000 Guineas.
Unbeaten Tale of the Cat (USA) gelding Pureness made a successful transition to Saturday company with a courageous win at Rosehill on Saturday.
A half-brother to triple Melbourne Cup winner Makybe Diva has made an encouraging start to his racing career at Friday's Geelong Synthetic meeting.
Makybe Diva's a legend, officially
At the Australian Racehorse of the Year and Hall of Fame Awards on Sunday night at Melbourne's Crown Palladium, MAKYBE bred Starspangledbanner won two awards for Champion Sprinter and Champion Australian Bred International.
MAKYBE is delighted to announce its highly credentialed stallion STREET HERO back for his second season at MAKYBE in 2010 had his first Australian foal early Saturday morning.
Mark Kavanagh, Street Cry (IRE) and Laurence Eales is a winning recipe that has produced Melbourne Cup winner Shocking and dual Group One winner Whobegotyou, plus a new winner who caught the eye at Geelong on Friday.
Makybe Diva's first foal, a three-year-old called Rockstardom, has made an encouraging start to his racing career with a fourth placing in a race at Geelong.
There are few better-bred racehorses anywhere in the world, but bloodlines are hardly a guarantee of instant success as the owners of Makybe Diva's first foal, Rockstardom, discovered yesterday.
Arguably there will seldom have been as much interest in a Maiden race at Geelong as there will be today, writes Darryl Sherer. Race three, slated to jump at 2pm, features the debut of Rockstardom, the first foal of three-time Melbourne Cup heroine and darling of the Australian turf in Makybe Diva.
David Hayes trainer Redoute's Choice filly Maraaseem broke through over 1300 metres at her third race start and looks a filly of some potential.
The world renowned Magic Millions Yearling Sale in January has received a tremendous boost with news the yearling half brother to international sensation Starspangledbanner will go under the hammer at the Gold Coast sale.
Recent events in the US both on the track and in the sale ring have put the writing on the wall that MAKYBE's exciting young sire STREET HERO is destined for great things.
Top mare Headway has just two starts this spring to convince premier trainer Peter Moody that she deserves another Group One campaign.
In a fairytale result for the Australian thoroughbred purist, Darley and MAKYBE Racing & Breeding today confirmed that one of the great racemares of the modern era - Makybe Diva - will be covered this season by leading sire Lonhro.
The Racenet Bloodstock colours tasted success for the very first time at Caulfield on Saturday when two year-old Lonhro colt Breitling raced clear for a commanding win in the open juvenile event over 1000 metres, collecting a valuable $100,000 Inglis incentive bonus.
Australia's latest global superhero Starspangledbanner took the next step in his international career with a tenacious win overnight in the Group One Darley July Cup at Newmarket defeating seasoned Group One sprinter Equiano and Aussie mare Alverta, who ran a gallant third.
Master Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien labelled Starspangledbanner as "an incredible horse" after the Australian-bred galloper took out Friday's Group I July Cup (1200m) at Newmarket.
Boutique Victorian breeding operation Makybe has achieved fame and fortune through the deeds of champion mare and triple Melbourne Cup Makybe Diva, but it is the performance of a champion sprinter that is writing the latest chapter in their growing success.
Coolmore's purported $10 million investment in dual Group 1 winner Starspangledbanner paid off handsomely on Saturday at Ascot when the three-yearold emulated his sire Choisir in scoring a dominant win in the Golden Jubilee Stakes (Gr 1), writes Darryl Sherer. Away sharply, Starspangledbanner was quickly on the lead and he galloped all the way to the line on ground officially described as goodto- firm, to score comfortably.
When he thrashed a high class field to win the Group One MRC Caulfield Guineas last spring, many believed MAKYBE bred colt Starspangledbanner was the best three year-old sprinter miler in the country and at Royal Ascot last night he proved he was also probably the best in the world.
Starspangledbanner became the second Australian-bred winner of the Group 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes when emulating his sire and fellow Inglis graduate Choisir at the famous Royal Ascot carnival overnight.
The wonderful affinity Australian-bred horses have with the famous Royal Ascot carnival continued last night, with Starspangledbanner scoring a dominant win in the Group 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes.
Well done Starspangledbanner (pictured at MAKYBE). Born and bred at MAKYBE Starspangledbanner charged to victory overnight in the Golden Jubilee at Royal Ascot in a scintillating exhibition of pure speed.
Street Hero (pictured), MAKYBE's exciting young shuttle stallion has a pedigree second to none with exceptional racehorses from both hemispheres on both sides of his pedigree.
MAKYBE DIVA has certainly left her mark in the sale ring in the last couple of years with her Galileo colt and her Fusaichi Pegasus filly reaching million dollar price tags.
PURREALIST (pictured at MAKYBE) a magnificent son of Tale of the Cat and the half brother to Racing To Win had his first weanlings sell at the Melbourne Great Southern Weanling Sale this week. Purrealist certainly made his mark with his weanlings catching the attention of the best judges in the country.
AUSTRALIAN sprinters will tread the international stage this week, with Starspangledbanner in action in England and Eagle Falls and Gold Trail in Singapore.
Dual Gr1-winning 3YO colt Starspangledbanner (pictured spelling at MAKYBE in 2009) "who in March parted company with his native Australia as one of the southern hemisphere's top sprinters, could attempt to make a perfect start to his life in Europe next Wednesday after being confirmed for the Gr2 Duke Of York Blue Square Stakes (6 furlongs)" reported racingpost.com.
Leading Victorian racing and breeding operation, MAKYBE, is delighted to announce their 2010 fees for Purrealist and Street Hero.
The vendors list by average is a competitive affair as we move into the final session of the 2010 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale on Thursday.
The first filly from Melbourne Cup legend Makybe Diva was knocked down to the man responsible for the most recent winner of Australia's most famous race for $1,2million at today's opening session of the Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
Melbourne Cup winning trainer Mark Kavanagh described Makybe Diva's daughter as "the nicest filly" he'd ever laid eyes on before shelling out $1,2 million for the filly at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale at Newmarket on Tuesday.
With a clearance rate on day one of the 2010 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale of just over 72% there were as many deflated vendors as happy ones, but for those who had the right article there was a good market.
The Aga Khan's world renowned female families are some of the best in the world and one of them, featuring Group One Dubai Sheema Classic winner DAR RE MI, appears in the 2010 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling catalogue.
SHE looks like any other yearling but Princess is a champion in grooming - it's in her blood.
MAKYBE part owned Captain Coltish could be freshened for a tilt at the Goodwood in May after a hard-fought win in the $125,000 Listed Schweppervescence Trophy (1400m) at Flemington this afternoon.
Outstanding colt Starspangledbanner once again hoisted the flag for the Melbourne Premier Sale in taking the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield today.
There are always a few updates required after the catalogues are printed.
Take Makybe's 2010 Inglis Premier draft for example.
We know it was a Sale juvenile maiden over 1200 metres run on a very slow track on a Sunday, but when the winner is by Encosta de Lago, is trained by David Hayes and scores by seven we figure it's worth a story.
Heartsareforlove brought up on the weekend MAKYBE's first metropolitan bred two year old winner for the season with a resounding 6.5 length win at Doomben.
At the recent Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, MAKYBE for two years running achieved the highest price lot for a Victorian prepared horse with a bay filly by Fastnet Rock out of Prospering, a grand daughter of Oakleigh Plate winner, Dantelah. After a spirited bidding duel she was knocked down to her sire's trainer Paul Perry for $320,000.
Most of the pre-sale feeling was that this year's Magic Millions Gold Coast yearling sale would be solid rather than spectacular, the majority of opinion prepared to settle for figures on a par with 2009, writes Darryl Sherer. And while the auctioneers had put on a brave show of talking the sale up before the first horse entered the ring, they must be satisfied with the opening session.
John O'Shea concedes Racing To Win (half brother to MAKYBE stallion Purrealist) is nearing the twilight of his career but he is adamant the multiple Group One winner still packs enough punches to give the Hong Kong Mile a mighty shake.
After spelling at MAKYBE for the last six weeks, the MAKYBE bred and part-owned Starspangledbanner has big Autumn riches firmly on his agenda reports Adrian Dunn in the Herald Sun.
Spectacular Caulfield Guineas winner Starspangledbanner will be restricted to an autumn sprinting campaign aimed at securing an invitation to Royal Ascot.
Tuesday's opening session of America's Keeneland November Breeding
Stock Sale commenced on Tuesday and Street Cry the sire of MAKYBE's Street Hero made headlines once again.
Street Cry rounded off an amazing week of stud achievements when the filly Zenyatta stretched her unbeaten sequence to 14 by winning America's richest race, the $US5M Breeders' Cup Classic at California on Saturday.
Tony Santic, owner of triple Melbourne Cup winner Makybe Diva and Laurence Eales, owner of this year's Melbourne Cup winner Shocking share a common interest.
Typhoon Tracy was the second leg of a Group 1 female double act
for Moody and Nolen, the pair having combined earlier in the day
with the Tony Santic-owned Headway, who got her nose in front
where it counted in a head bobbing finish to the Coolmore Ascot
Vale Stakes down the straight six.
From sprinters to stayers the win of MAKYBE bred stayer Zupacool in the Listed Jayco Bendigo Cup over 2200m yesterday shows the diversity of distances produced off the property.
STARSPANGLEDBANNER is the latest Group One winner to emerge from one of the most successful modern-day families
in the stud book.
MAKYBE DIVA proved that good things really do come in threes, but Tony Santic and wife Deslee are more than happy to settle for two this time around. The Santics gave new meaning to Super Saturday with a couple of unforgettable moments to savour last weekend.
The win of Starspangledbanner in Saturday's Caulfield Guineas provided MAKYBE with an enormous thrill. A 3200 acre thoroughbred breeding enterprise nestled in the Barrabool hills by the banks of the Barwon River, MAKYBE is devoted to breeding and nurturing superstar thoroughbreds. Saturday's victory marked the second group one winner born on the property since it began in 2002 and signaled MAKYBE was a force in the thoroughbred breeding industry.
