Pompano Beach, FL...June 6, 2015...A sizzling victory by Northern Companion and the contesting of the Spanish-American Friendship competition highlighted the Pompano Park Saturday night harness racing card with the icing on the cake coming in the finale when a 20 cent Super Hi-5 ticket was cashed to the tune of over $6,400.00. Northern Companion, Dorothy Zarza's splendid seven year-old son of Cambest, took advantage of a "suicidal" pace before picking up the pieces in the lane to score a handy win in 1:51 for driver Tom Sells. A game Raji's Blue Line (Ben Mc Neil) finished second with Who's Your Maddy third, over the 3 to 5 favorite No Bad Dreams. The early leader, Histoire Eternelle, finished fifth in the quintet after hitting the opening marker on top in :27. Shortly thereafter, Raji's Blue Line made a quarter move to the top with a battle shaping up between that one and No Bad Dreams (Marc Aubin) with that pair reaching the half in :54.2. On the backstretch, Raji's Blue Line kept up his sizzling pace, reaching the third station in 1:22.1 with No Bad Dreams settling in the pocket back of the leader and Who's Your Maddy now on a first over bid. Following "Maddy's" live cover was Northern Companion as this Howard Klohr trainee swept widest of all turning for home and easily mowed by his competition on the strength of his :28 finale. In a post race interview, driver Tom Sells said, "While they were in that war up front, I was just kind of licking my chops because this is just how this horse likes it--a very fast pace up front. There wasn't really much to do turning for home...Northern Companion did that all by himself!" For Northern Companion, it was his 43rd lifetime win, pushing his career earnings to $272,572. He's six-for-17 this semester, good for $33,475. The 1:51 clocking was a seasonal best and two-fifths off his lifetime best. As 3 to 2 second choice, Northern Companion paid $5.00 to his faithful followers. The Spanish-North American competition featured four of the best amateur drivers from Spain and nine from the Florida contingent of the Florida Amateur Driving Club in a three race extravaganza that proved to be hotly contested. The first event went to Spanish driver Jaume Riera, who guided the 12 year-old trotter Good Feeling to a 1:58.3 win over fellow countryman Agustin Pou, who drove Pacific Cyclone. Favored Zeitgeist, with Dein Spriggs handling the lines, finished third while the only female in the competition, Luanna Beeson, finished a fast closing fourth with her own Total Freedom. Spanish driver Miquel Capo finished fifth with Sir Cypress Bend. Riera was on the prowl for the lead as the gate opened and assumed command shortly after the :28.3 opener and carded fractions of :59.1 and 1:29.1 along the way. Good Feeling is no stranger to the winner's circle--this being the warrior's 49th lifetime win, good for career bounty of $453,952. Good Feeling is trained by Allen Saul for owner Dein Spriggs. Good Feeling paid $9.60 to win. The second Span-Am event went to the four year-old Leonardo, trained and driven by Leon Cable for owner Anthony Chiniara. With the action very hot during the early going, Cable sent his charge on a double-bubble binge on the backside, taking the lead in upper stretch and holding off the spirited late surge between horses by Touchdown Teddy Bowman's Explosive Muscles to score by three-parts-of-a-length in 1:59.1 for his initial win of the year in 20 starts. Lukie Duke finished third for Jamie Marra while The Muscler and Super Duke picked up the final two awards. Off at 9 to 1, Leonardo paid, in hindsight, $20.20 to win. The Span-Am Pace went to Allamericanextra, driven by Joe Pennacchio, in 1:54.2. This nine year-old son of Astreos, owned and trained by Donna Riedel, went an ultra-game mile, sitting on the outside of Angle Of Attack (Agustin Pou) through hot fractions of :27.2 and :55.3 before pushing his head in front around the final turn and on to a handy victory measuring 5 1/4 lengths in 1:54.2, equalling a seasonal best. Despite being parked throughout the mile, Allamericanextra paced a final quarter in :29.2, easily the fastest in the event, and pinned the defeat on Master Of Puppets (Jaume Riera) with Progresive Hanover teaming up with Dein Spriggs to be third. It was the pacers 40th lifetime victory and sent his lifetime bounty over the $250,000 mark. Angle of Attack did hold on for fourth while Blended Whiskey picked up the nickel. After the event, driver Pennacchio expressed his surprise by saying, "You know, I don't get to drive many pacers and I really thought that, being hung out that long, that the trip might take its toll. He really did this all on his own. This pacer made me look good tonight. The winner paid $30.40 to win and was just one of the components necessitating a Pick-5 carryover going into next Wednesday's program. Bruce Ranger and Mickey McNichol both had driving doubles on the card with McNichol's win in the last race with the favored Four Starz Kyle keying a 20 cent Super Hi-5 payoff of $6,491.32 to the one unique holder cashing in on the 6-7-3-1-4 combo. Post time for the Wednesday program is 7:30 with $1.00 fan appreciation nights beginning on Wednesday and continuing through the end of the season on June 27. Pompano Park's Lone Wolf Cafe', located on the grandstand apron, will offer $1.00 hot dogs, cheeseburger sliders, chips, soft drinks and more to all fans at the track from 6:30 p.m. to the end of the racing program. by John Berry for Pompano Park
Pompano Beach, FL...May 9, 2015...No Bad Dreams, handled by harness racing driver Wally Hennessey, avoided trouble around the final turn and went on to post a two length win over E Z Noah (Matt Romano) in Pompano Park's feature $8,500 "Winner's Over" Pace on Saturday night (May 9). Cartoonist (Walter Ross, Jr.) finished a courageous third after being knocked off his feet momentarily around that final turn while Who's Your Maddy, also suffering the same fate around turn three, re-composed and finished fourth while Johnny Grippa picked up the nickel, this, too, after suffering some interference around the final bend. The mile was clocked in 1:50.3, a new lifetime mark for the winner. It was Canadian Touch, off at 9 to 2 on the board with Kevin Wallis driving, showing the most alacrity when the gate opened, taking the field to the opener in a red-hot :26 with Johnny Grippa, 4 to 1, (Bruce Ranger) third and E Z Noah, off at 2 to 5 with Matt Romano in the bike, next. Approaching turn two, E Z Noah was out and beginning to apply some pressure on Canadian Touch with the half clocked in :55.4. On the backside, things really began heating up again and a :26.3 third panel left Canadian Touch on top in 1:22.2 with E Z Noah still applying the tourniquet with Johnny Grippa still in the garden spot and No Bad Dreams second over and 2 1/2 lengths away. Just past that third station, Canadian Touch made a nasty break with only E Z Noah and No Bad Dreams escaping the fray. In the lane, E Z Noah surged to a short-lived lead but No Bad Dreams bursted on by on leaving E Z Noah in his wake. In a post race interview, driver Wally Hennessey said, "This was a case of just being in the right place at the right time. I followed some live cover and when the leader made that break, I shifted wide and that was that. I had driven this horse last week and he did have some pace around the final turn and to the wire. They just went a little too much at the end for him to dent any further...but he did have good pace. He probably came home under :28 tonight (he did--:27.4.) so he's turning out to be a good one." For No Bad Dreams, a four year-old son of Dream Away, it was his fourth win in six starts this season, sending his 2015 bounty to $14,550, surpassing his earnings of last season encompassing 20 starts. Trained by Mark Aubin for owners Jacalyn and Dan Boddie, No Bad Dreams rewarded his followers with a $21.80 mutuel. Another noteworthy performance was turned in by the seven year-old Northern Companion as this son of Cambest relished his class relief this night and recorded his 41st lifetime win--this one for Tom Sells, who handled the lines for trainer Howard Klohr and owner Dorothy Zarza. Known for his ferocious stretch brushes, Sells took no chances with this 1 to 5 favorite, leading at every pole--:27.2, :56.4 and 1:25.1--before a :28 sprint home sealed the issue in 1:53.1. Northern Companion won for the fourth time this semester, sending his seasonal bounty to $21,580. He's banked $260,915 career-wise. Pompano Park's Super Hi-5 featured several winners receiving $61.14 for their 20 cent investment on the 1-4-2-3-5 combo on Saturday night, sending the carryover for Wednesday's program to $192,000. Post time is 7:30 p.m. by John Berry for Pompano Park
Pompano Beach, FL...March 28, 2015...Northern Companion, off at 26 to 1, scored the upset victory in Pompano Park's $15,400 Open Handicap Pace on Saturday night, covering the mile in 1:51.2. The seven year-old son of Cambest, trained by Howard Klohr and driven by Dave Ingraham for owner Dorothy Zarza, stormed home from sixth at the top of the stretch to score a win measuring three-quarters of a length over P L Hellcat with Dan Clements handling the lines. Panocchio, making his initial start of the 2015 campaign, finished third for Bruce Ranger, but was disqualified for a pylon violation and set back to eighth, allowing Duc Dorleans, to move up one notch to third after cutting fractions of :26.2, :55.2 and 1:23. Cruizin K C was also moved up a spot to fourth after putting heavy pressure on the leader around the final turn. Do Wop Hanover, also making his 2015 debut was also moved up a spot to catch the nickel. The field was cut to nine with the scratch of Remissionofsins. In a post race interview, Driver Dave Ingraham lamented, "My horse (Northern Companion) can really turn it on late, especially off of some hot fractions. Actually, when Remissionofsins was scratched, I thought that might hurt us a little bit because that one can really sizzle early and possibly set things up for closers. But it all worked out for us and I am thrilled for Howie (trainer Klohr) and, especially, Dotty (owner Zarza). For Northern Companion, it was his third success of the year in seven starts, sending his 2015 bounty to $18,088. He's banked $257,185 lifetime. His win payoff of $54.80 was, by far, the largest in his 40 lifetime victories. In Pompano's $10,000 Open "2" Pace, Steelhead Hanover, again confidently handled by trainer Joe Pavia, Jr., scored another handy victory in "carbon copy" fashion from last week's open lengths win. The six year-old son of Bettor's Delight, scoring last week in 1:49.2 by 4 3/4 lengths, hit the wire 5 1/4 lengths to the good in 1:50 on this night, after carving out front end panels of :27.2, :55.3 and 1:22.1 along the way. Cadillac Phil and Mike Micallef teamed up for place honors while Cartoonist, in the garden spot all the way with Wally Hennessey, finished third, 5 1/2 lengths away. Twin B Speedo finished fourth while Prairie Jaguar picked up the nickel. In a post race interview, driver Joe Pavia, Jr. said, "It was, pretty much, a carbon copy of last week's win. He's very sharp now and, again, when we hit the backside, he just went into another gear, I really didn't realize that he was going that much during that third quarter--:26.3--but he did the same thing last week, too. He's just doing it so comfortably. He's amazing!" Owned by the consortium of Steven Held, AGC Stables, Dijo Racing and Joseph Barbera, Steelhead Hanover is now 2 for 3 this year and 18 for 70 lifetime with $494,270 in career bounty to go along with a mark of 1:48.3 last year at Pocono Downs. As the overwhelming 1 to 5 choice on the tote-board, Steelhead Hanover paid $2.40 to win. Multiple Carryovers Fuel Big Sunday Night at Pompano Gold Star Spike (Aaron Byron) rallied from last to get his nose up on the wire in Saturday night's 5th race, returning $129.60 for the win and keying a $2,631 exacta. The longshot was part of the Pick 4 and Pick 5, ensuring carryovers in both wagers into the Sunday night card. The 50-Cent Pick 5 features a carryover of $1,842 into Sunday night, with track officials placing a $7,500 guarantee on the total pool. The 50-Cent Pick 5 is a nightly wager featured on Races 2 – 6. The 50-Cent Pick 4 will begin with a $2,662 carryover on Sunday, with track officials placing a $15,000 guarantee on the total pool. The Pick 4 is a nightly wager featured on Races 5 – 8. Longshot Northern Companion (David Ingraham), returned a healthy $54.80 to take Saturday night's finale, but there were two winning tickets out on the Jackpot Hi-Five with the 20-cent consolation returning $1,626.66. The Jackpot Hi-Five carryover into Sunday night is up to $73,551. Live racing continues at the Isle Casino Pompano Park on a four night per week schedule, with a first post of 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings. by John Berry for Pompano Park
Pompano Beach, FL...October 3, 2014...Pompano Park begins its second half century of racing on Saturday night, October 4, with eight Sunshine State Stakes events and three Open events highlighting the action. The top Open event features Prairie Jaguar, the only horse to record five wins in 1:50 or faster on Pompano's five-eighths mile oval, including two wins in 1:49. Owned by Laurie Poulin along with trainer Mike Deters, the six year-old altered son of Spy Hard has banked over $75,000 this season and will have the driving services of newcomer Aaron Byron. Byron, 25, comes into the action with 1,330 lifetime wins--165 of those so far this year. "Jaguar" has been installed as the 8 to 5 morning line favorite and is coupled with T's Electric, fresh off of a 1:52.4 win at Tioga downs featuring his last half in :54.3. Tom Sells will handle T's Electric. Also in the field is Northern Companion, trained by Howard Klohr for owner Dorothy Zarza. "Buddy," as he is known around the barn, has amassed 36 lifetime wins and $223,272 in lifetime bounty, including a mark of 1:50.3 recorded at Pompano last season. Freshened up after a two month vacation, Northern Companion comes into the action off of a handy qualifying win in 1:56.1. Mike Micallef will take this six year-old to Pompano Park's Hummer Starting Gate. Damon Blue Chip, I Do Hanover and Cartoonist complete the talented field. The Sunshine State Stakes covers Florida bred two and three year-olds, all of which are seeking a coveted spot on the FSBOA's $400,000 (est.) Super Night in late November, The pari-mutuel portion of the 13 race program kicks off with the class of three year-old trotting fillies. Jay Sears' Markie, last year's two year-old champion, has been dominant this far in her sophomore class, scoring victories in her only two starts this year--both measuring 20 or more lengths--with her last win in a lifetime best 2:00.1. Bob Roberts will be in the bike for trainer Kim Sears. Markie has been labeled the 4 to 5 morning line favorite in her event. Beauty in the Bridle Stable's Limelight will tangle with eight others in her division for three year-old pacing fillies. The talented daughter of Cracking Light comes to Pompano Park off of a pair of dominant wins in Sunshine State Stakes action at Sunshine Meadows. Tom Sells will handle the filly's lines for trainer Rosie Huff. In the two year-old events for trotting colts and geldings, Railee Workable and Victory Park have been locking horns with each scoring a win against the other at the recently concluded two session affair at Sunshine Meadows. Joining the fray this time around is first time starter Prairie Fortune, coming off a very sharp qualifying event at Tioga Downs, where he was, literally, nosed out in 2:02. Railee Workable, a son of Basil, is trained by Lou Ginesi for owners Ken Fritz and Fred Morosini and will have Mickey McNichol in the bike. Victory Park is owned by the consortium of Turcotte, Howard, Roccasano and Ruggles and will have Bruce Ranger in the sulky for trainer Mel Turcotte. Two year-old pacing fillies will also take the spotlight on opening night with Paxxie and Gold Star Dynasty renewing their rivalry. Paxxie, the sharp looking Six Of Diamonds lass owned by trainer Warren Harp along with Joan Harp, beat Gold Star Dynasty by a neck the first time around at Sunshine Meadows in stakes action with Warren in the bike. The next week, "Dynasty," also a Six Of Diamond filly, owned by trainer Tom Audley, turned the tables on Paxxie, scoring the neck decision over her main rival in a lifetime best 2:01.1 for Walter Ross, Jr. Paxxie is listed at 8 to 5 while Gold Star Dynasty is tabbed at 9 to 5 on the morning line. Amante Standardbreds' Caesar's Forum, trained by Marc Aubin, appears to have the upper hand in his division for juvenile pacing colts and geldings. The talented son of Six Of Diamonds is, thus far, sports a perfect two-for-two scorecard to go along with a lifetime best 2:00.3--:58.3 performance at Sunshine Meadows. Bruce Ranger will take Caesar's Jackpot post-ward in his Sunshine Stakes event. Pompano will offer the popular .20 cent superfecta on all races with the highly anticipated Super Hi-5 expected to be added to the racing programs in the very near future. Post time for the pari-mutuel program is 7:30 while four non-betting Sunshine State Stakes events get underway at 6:15 p.m. by John Berry, for the Isle Pompano Park
Pompano Beach, FL...February 15, 2014...In a five horse photo, Northern Companion, again handled by Dave Ingraham for trainer Howard Klohr and owner Dorothy Zarza, gutted out top honors in Pompano Park's $10,000 Open Pace on Saturday night. The six year-old son of Cambest showed remarkable gameness and resiliency, refusing to give up when he appeared beaten in mid-stretch, and scored in 1:52, his winning margin officially a neck over the late surging Who's Your Maddy (John Macdonald). Freeneasy Hanover (Wally Hennessey), stablemate of "Maddy," finished third just a half length away, edging past pacesetting Hillybilly in the final stride. Cruizin K C picked up the nickel in the six horse field. It was Hillybilly who rocketed out of the gate into the lead just past the first eighth pole but, midway around the turn with positions now established, driver Bruce Ranger grabbed a hold of his charge and rated him through an opener of :27.3 with Freeneasy Hanover, Who's Your Maddy and Northern Companion next, about 4 1/2 lengths off the lead. Sensing the very moderate pace, Ingraham began his grind forward with one lap to go and was third, two lengths off Hillybilly through a soft opening half in :57. On the backside, things really started heating up and, by the final turn, were sizzling as Northern Companion was put through a supreme test during a third panel in :26.4--his one tick faster. Turning for home, Hillybilly kicked clear again with Freeneasy now taking up the chase with Northern Companion now two lengths away and drifting out a bit and Who's Your Maddy flying between horses. But, when it counted, Northern Companion refused to be denied in the photo finish victory. In a post race interview, driver Dave Ingraham said, "...this was not easy! To grind forward through a quarter like that is amazing and, yes, I thought we were beaten in mid-stretch but this horse really has that rare quality about him that, when he gets some racetrack in front of him, he wants to gobble it up! He just never quits!" "Buddy's" win (he's called Buddy around the stable), was his third this year and 35th lifetime, sending his lifetime bounty to $208,082--$21,250 this young season in seven starts. As the 1 to 2 public choice, Northern Compani paid $3.00 to win. by John Berry, for Isle Pompano Park
Pompano Beach, FL...February 8, 2014...Northern Companion earned his 34th lifetime victory on Saturday night by scoring a sharp 1:51 victory for Dave Ingraham in Pompano Park's $10,000 Open Pace. The six year-old son of Cambest, trained by Howard Klohr for owner Dorothy Zarza, wore down the game Lyons Johnny, handled by Wally Hennessey, to score by a length and a half. Hillybilly and Bruce Ranger teamed up to finish third while Eastend Eddie, last in the field for the first half mile, rallied to finish fourth. Who's Your Maddy picked up the nickel in the seven horse field. Lyon's Johnny out-dueled Electric Lad in the early stages and took the field to the first station in :27.2 with Northern Companion nestled into third and remaining in that position through the opening half in :55.3. On the backside, three-eighths out, Northern Companion left his comfortable surroundings and began gnawing in on Lyons Johnny's lead, cutting it in half turning for home and collaring that one in mid-stretch before drawing clear late. In a post race interview, driver Ingraham said, "...he had a nice trip but, to tell you the truth, i was concerned a bit when we weren't gaining that much around the turn. Lyons Johnny can't be taken lightly. He gave "Jaguar" (Prairie Jaguar) a good tussle the week before and I wasn't sure we were going to get there but Northern Companion just has that attitude that he wants to win. He's got that winning attitude! It's a great quality in a racehorse--a winning attitude. The draw helped us this week, too, because we were a lot closer from the two post than the previous week from the six." Northern Companion's scorecard now reads 2-2-1 in six starts and the victory pushed his lifetime earnings over the $200,000 mark--$203,082 to be exact. As the even money favorite on the tote board, Northern Companion paid $4.00 to win. The Open 2 Pace went to Freeneasy Hanover, who dug in late for driver Bruce Ranger to hold off Legends Luck and Wally Hennessey by a head in 1:52.2. Avantage (Dave Ingraham) finished third, four lengths away, with McGreat and Restless Yankee garnering the final awards in the octet. The six year-old son of Western Ideal, trained by Jim McDonald for Ciro Gentile and Twenty Four Carrot Racing, went right to the front and carded an opening panel of :27.1 in thwarting any ideas of an early challenge. After a breather that brought Freeneasy to the half in :56, Ranger throttled his charge a bit on the backside and a :27.3 third quarter brought the pair to the third station in 1:23.3 as Legends Luck left the coziness of the pocket to challenge turning for home. In deep stretch, the pair raced side-by-side with Freeneasy prevailing in the photo for his second straight success of the year in six starts. He's banked $156,765 lifetime--$10,250 of that so far this young season. Stepping up from a "non-winners" class, Freeneasy Hanover was the public's fifth choice in the win pool and paid $14.40. In the $20-$25,000 claiming handicap, Ahead Of the Curve was given a picture perfect drive by George Napolitano, Jr. and captured that event in 1:52 over the late charging Rick's Sign, handled by Simon Allard. The winning margin was 2 3/4 lengths with Red Hot Yankee third after posting red hot fractions of :26.1, :53.3 and 1:22 with Ahead Ofthe Curve right on that one's tail the entire way, only leaving the pocket turning for home and scoring easily from there. Masters Champion and Mach Wheel also earned minor awards in the field of six. Trained by Pete Pellegrino for the Baron Racing Stable, Ahead Ofthe Curve, an eight year-old son of Real Desire, won for the 27th time during his career and pushed his lifetime bounty closer to $300,000--now at $298,149. He paid $3.60 to win as the public choice. Finally, Fox Valley Griffin, driven by Rick Plano, lit up the tote-board, by scoring at victory in a claiming event in 1:53.1 at odds of 52 to 1. The six year-old, trained by Richard Macomber for wife Carol and Emilinda Manzi, paid $107.00 to win, keying two dime superfecta payoffs (there was a dead-heat for second) of $945.83 and $756.68. The big upset also set up a Pick-4 carry-over of over $3,000 going into Sunday's racing program. Sunday also is the kickoff of Pompano's $20,000 Championship Driver's Challenge, which gets underway with a round one pairing of Dave Ingraham and Rick Plano. by John Berry, for Isle Pompano Park
Pompano Beach, FL...January 25, 2014...Northern Companion and Rick's Sign shared the spotlight as they captured the duet of co-features Saturday night at Pompano Park. Northern Companion, handled by Dave Ingraham, captured the $8,500 Open Handicap Pace, grinding forward from last the entire last lap to nail a 1:52.1 victory in the final strides. The six year-old son of Cambest, trained by Howard Klohr for owner Dorothy Zarza, achieved his initial victory of the year by a half length over Thebestofjoel (Ed Hensley) with Southern Sport (Joe Pavia, Jr.) next, 2 1/4 lengths away. Restless Yankee finished fourth and the 7 to 5 favorite, Eastend Eddie, picked up the nickel after making a very confident brush to the front just after the :26.4 opener and carding subsequent panels of :55.3 and 1:23. Assigned post eight in the field, Northern Companion got to move in a notch with the scratch of Electric Lad and was away in a relaxed manner as Thebestofjoel and Southern Sport mixed it up early with the ladder carving up the opening number. Meanwhile, Northern Companion was out by turn two but still sixth about a half dozen lengths away from the leader. On the backside, the pace quickened but Northern Companion was still able to dent the official :27.2 third quarter and was about three lengths away turning for home. At that point, Eastend Eddie was being attacked from all sides by Southern Sport and Thebestofjoel with Northern Companion grinding widest and fastest of all, collaring the remaining competition near the wire. For Northern Companion, it was his 33rd lifetime victory, sending his career bounty to $197,282. In a post race interview, driver Dave Ingraham said, "...I'll tell ya, this horse can take a lot of air. He just keeps mowing forward and doesn't quit. He can be kind of lazy leaving but, when he gets going, he REALLY gets going...and, of course, it helped that there were no jaguars (meaning Prairie Jaguar) in there tonight." As co-second choice in the wagering, Northern Companion paid $7.20 to win. In the $20,000-$25,000 Claiming Handicap worth $8,500, Rick's Sign, handled by Simon Allard, went a monstrous mile grinding out a 1:53 victory measuring three parts of a length over Red Hot Yankee (Ed Hensley) with the favorite Premier third in that same photo, Gentleman Friend finished fourth with Just Fred fifth in the quintette that, front to back, were separated by just a shade over two lengths. Red Hot Yankee cut the moderate opening fractions of :27.2 and :57.1 with Rick's Sign out and pressuring from the second turn all the way home, the latter engaging the leader through a wicked :26.4 third panel and then finally squeaking on by inside the sixteenth pole for the win. For Rick's Sign, it was his 49th career victory--second this year--with this nine year-old's lifetime bankroll now at $322,577. Highland Thoroughbred Farm co-owns Rick's Sign with trainer Marty Fine. As second choice in the win pool, Rick's Sign paid $9.00 to win. Carry-overs in both the Pick-5 and Pick-4 wagers highlight the Sunday night card, which gets underway at 7:05 p.m. John Berry
Pompano Beach, FL...December 21, 2013...Northern Companion scored a repeat win in Pompano Park's feature $10,000 Open Pace on Saturday night but had to share the spotlight with Prairie Jaguar as the latter scorched the "PPk" five-eighths mile oval in a lifetime best 1:50 to win the Open 2 Pace. Prairie Jaguar, a Florida bred five year-old son of Spy Hard driven this night by Jason Dillander, rocketed out of the gate from his outside eight post and put together panels of :26, :53 and 1:21.1 to report home 2 3/4 lengths to the good of Souther Sport, handled by Joe Pavia, Jr. The lukewarm 5 to 2 favorite, No Gin, teamed up with Bruce Ranger to finish third, almost eight lengths away while Oozie's Bad Boy and Avantage picked up the final two awards in the field of seven. Owned by Laurie Poulin along with trainer Mike Deters, Prairie Jaguar won for only the fourth time this year--but third in a row--to send his lifetime bounty over the $50,000 mark. Though on a bit of a roll coming in, Prairie Jaguar, whose last two victories are timed in 1:50.4 and 1:51.4, went of as the fourth choice in the pool and returned $11.20 to win. After the official sign was posted, driver Dillander said, ...what can I tell you? He's really good right now...but that's obvious off of his last three miles. I'm not sure how far he can go on, but, to tell you he's razor sharp would be putting it mildly. Mike (trainer Deters) has done a great job with him." Meanwhile, Northern Companion handled this week by Dave Ingraham for trainer Howard Klohr, used his usual strong backside brush to surge into the lead around the final turn but just did hold off the surging B N Bad and Simon Allard to score by a nose in 1:51.1. Military Stratcom (Dillander), prominent early, seemed to get a second win in deep stretch to finish third while Thebestofjoel, driven by Ed Hensley, finished fourth after cutting the early panels of 26.3 and 55 before surrendering the lead to the winner past 3/4s in 1:22.4. Hillybilly picked up the nickel. Owned by Dorothy Zarza, Northern Companion won for the 12th time this year and 29th time over the past two seasons to send his 2013 bankroll to $84,605 and $186,032 lifetime. Finally, in the $20,000-$25,000 claiming handicap, the eight year-old Rick's Sign scored his Third Straight win for Ingrid Glassmeyer--this one in 1:50.3--for his 47th lifetime win. He's banked a career total of $312,897. The win equalled his lifetime best performance--the previous time being at age six--and was his ninth success of the year, good for seasonal bounty of $76,218. He was claimed off this win by Marty Fine and Highland Thoroughbreds of Ontario, Canada. by John Berry for Isle Pompano Park
Northern Companion, making his final start of the Pompano harness racing meeting before heading northward, paced his final three-quarters in 1:22.2 and rolled by the entire field in the stretch to score a decisive win for driver Rob Hoffman in 1:51.1 in Pompano Park's top pace on Saturday night.
Northern Companion resumed his winning ways at Pompano Park with a sharp winning harness racing performance in 1:51.3 on Saturday night.
Northern Companion, with harness racing driver Rob Hoffman in the bike, stretched his winning streak to three with a handy win in 1:51.4 over Freeneasy Hanover and Woodmere Ultimate in Pompano Park's Open I Handicap Pace on Saturday night.
Dorothy Zarza's Northern Companion overcame his assigned post position eight and, again, cruised to a harness racing victory in Pompano Park's Open Pace on Saturday night.
Northern Companion, given a picture perfect journey by harness racing driver Rob Hoffman, collared the pacesetting Keemosabe (Bruce Ranger) turning for home and went on to score a neck victory in 1:51 over Special Strides (Rick Plano) and the late charging Amillionpennies (Matt Romano) in Pompano Park's $11,000 Open Handicap Pace on Saturday night. Keemosabe was fourth.
Most astute observers had written Northern Companion off when he trailed by nearly seven lengths at the halfway point of Saturday night's harness racing $11,500 Open Handicap Pace at Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park.

Dear Human,
I have worked with the finest furry tailors in the world, and am here to share my bounty of knowledge. Here's how to measure your pet...
Measure from the base of the tail (where it connects to the hindquarters) up to where the collar typically sits at the base of the neck, then follow up with a generous back scratch.
This is measured by giving your pet a
hug, during which you measure the entire circumference (all the way around) at the widest point of your pet's chest. This is typically right behind the front legs.
First, plenty of kisses. Then, measure the neck's circumference
(the distance around it) at the point where the collar sits.

I love the selection of items. wish they;d have more free shipping deals.

Access to the source code confers an advantage
Service Call
In times of economic stress, you can add value to your services by leveraging the resources of the FOSS community.
"How do you make money with Free Software?"
To me, the answer is simple. How do most people make money with proprietary software?
After all, most "computer people" do not work for a company that packages software for consumption by end users. Most computer people are systems administrators, integrators, educators, value-added resellers (VARs), and other people that do not contribute to the actual packaged software product. Others are "support people," who answer customer's questions about how to use the software.
All of these people are "service people" who provide services to customers. Some of them act as resellers of the licensed code, and a portion of the sales price is their pay in the form of commission, but this is only a portion of the money that they make. Most of their money comes from providing a service to the customer on the basis of the software that they re-sell.
What the customer is buying, of course, is a solution. Ideally, customers do not care which software they use, as long as they can get their job done. Other factors enter in, such as the ability to get support for the software in the form of training and questions answered. Companies that hire a lot of temporary help also tend to prefer popular software so that they have a large pool of people to call on as contract employees.
One of the similarities between Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and Closed Source Software (CSS) is that either can be used as it comes, without modification. With CSS you open the box; with FOSS you pull it over the Internet. With FOSS, though, you typically do not have to pay for a license, and you typically do not have to worry about an agency, such as the Business Software Alliance, coming after you to see whether or not your software has been pirated.
The larger difference is that you do not have the source code for the CSS software, so it is harder to integrate into the customer's business.
Try to imagine integrating two CSS software products. Maybe they work fairly well together, except for some little incompatibility that causes difficulty. Like two glass rods with perfectly smooth ends that you try to glue together, you might get them to unite for a while, but it is a lot of work, and you are not sure whether the bond will hold.
Now try to get two FOSS projects to work together. As a VAR, integrator, or other person involved with the customer's solution, you can change the source code of the two pieces of software and get them to play nicely with each other. It's a little like sandpapering the ends of the glass rods before gluing them together, giving the glue a better grip.
With so much software piracy around, much of the licensed software is actually unlicensed. This not only puts your customer in jeopardy but also cheapens the real value of the software.
FOSS software, however, is freely licensed. The customer knows what he or she is paying for, which is your service. Typically, you can either reduce the price of the overall solution so you are more competitive with the closed source solution vendors, or you can legally put more money in your pocket because you do not have to pay for the licenses.
Another difference between CSS and FOSS is in education. If you are developing educational materials for CSS and you are not on the development team, it is hard to develop those materials because you cannot see the source code. The people who develop the code are (almost by definition) the people who know the program best; therefore, your materials and instruction will be at a disadvantage.
With FOSS, there is no reason why your materials and instruction cannot be just as good, or even better, than the materials from the people who are developing the programs. Because you can see how the program works, you could, for example, give tips on the basis of the algorithms chosen, which the developers might not think important. Additionally, with a truly open project, you can join the development team and feed comments back to them from your customers to improve the ongoing development of the software.
Finally, as a systems administrator, you are paid to provide good support to your co-workers. With closed source software, you are dependent on what the CSS companies develop for you. With FOSS, you can either make changes yourself or work with a team to develop the changes you need to give better support to your work community.
In your monthly report to management, don't forget to tell them about leveraging your time and skills with those of the FOSS community. In times of economic stress, your management might appreciate that.

Really great tutorials. Perhaps you could tell us how to make a pokemon shiny (like the Red Gyarados in Shiny Gold)? Because I am pretty sure that you just used some sort of flag.
But again, great tutorials. I went from an almost entirely unhacked ROM to something that is actually starting to look awesome.

Caves, The Cops, the Girls
Chop Suey, $8, Friday, 9 p.m.
All of them clad in black and illuminated only by the dark, glowing crimson of the big "C" at the Comet Tavern a couple of years ago, Portland quartet Caves seemed the epitome of modern-rock cool, like the Northwest's version of Interpol or something. Though there were elements of that band's shivery, nocturnal post-punk in their own tunes, Caves also mixed in jumpy, angular guitar parts and dance-y rhythms a la Wire and Franz Ferdinand and the Killers that night, while front-dude Jacob Carey tapped into both his inner Joe Strummer and Billy Idol (not so much the angry snarl as that deep "I dried your tears of pain" warble) to deliver his gravelly, charismatic vocals. On their recently released Get On With It, Caves work plenty of dub and prog textures into their dramatic, sensual slink, so tonight could be even more of a hot fuss.
Voyager One (CD release), Head Like a Kite, the Upsidedown, the Kindness Kind
Tractor Tavern, $8. Saturday, 8 p.m.
Burbling, underwater guitars, reverberations that pierce the atmosphere and dive deep underground, slow and steady bass, and the chink of a tambourine, drawn out like the slowest bump and grind of a dancer's hips: that's "Give," from Voyager One's newest album Afterhours in the Afterlife, and it isn't even the best track. That'd be "Sine Waves," a multilayered daydream praised with expletives on the BBC, or opener "Here," which sets the album's narcotized tone perfectly. Did I mention how Peter Marchese's voice now seems to transmit all the sex of Black Celebration era Dave Gahan's, minus the gothic airs? It's no wonder that "Gun," from V1's Monster Zero made its way into the pants of a Suicide Girls soundtrack. If only the other bands knew how to do it so well. With Head Like a Kite, the Upsidedown and the Kindness Kind.
Black Whales, Bird Language, Fences
Cha Cha Lounge, Sunday, 9 p.m.
Despite the fact that the South Eastern quadrant of Capitol Hill is now home to four of the cities best rock clubs, there've been a handful of quality bookings at some bars in between—namely the Wild Rose and Cha Cha Lounge. Wild Rose has played host to the likes of Dan Deacon and new Hardly Art-ists the Dutchess and the Duke, while long time Cha Cha employee Kerry Zettel holds it down in the new space by bringing in bands like Loving Thunder and Night Canopy, and tonight: Fences, Black Whales and Bird Language. Fences is a one man indie show as performed by Seattle's Chris Mansfield, who's vocals on The Ultimate Puke EP are at times eerily similar to Conor Oberst and at others, a mellower Rufus Wainwright, while his gentle acoustic melodies recall echoes of Elliot Smith. Black Whales is local rock culled from quality bands of the same brand who've gone before including the Catheters/Tallbirds, Tourist and Spacesuit; and openers Bird Language recall the urgency of punkers like Seven Seconds, with a slightly softer underbelly.

McGrath and Sayers trump Sutcliffe
Anthony McGrath and Joe Sayers took a Yorkshire record away from two of the county's pre-war legends on a run-filled second day in the LV= County Championship Division One match against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.
A partnership of 346 in 98 overs surpassed the previous best of 323 for the third wicket set by England batsmen Herbert Sutcliffe and Maurice Leyland against Glamorgan at the Fartown ground in Huddersfield in 1928.
The systematic mauling of Warwickshire's attack allowed McGrath, who made the first double century of his career, to declare on 600 for eight in time to give his bowlers 18 overs before the close.
Set 451 to avoid the follow-on, the home side lost Tony Frost, edging Deon Kruis to first slip in the fourth over, but Ian Westwood and Ian Bell avoided further trouble in reaching 81 for one.
If Sayers was the rock in Yorkshire's innings, facing 441 balls for his 173 in not far short of 10 hours, McGrath was the destructive force in hitting 26 fours and three sixes in an impressive 211 from 324 deliveries.
Resuming on 258 for two, with their stand already worth 134, they eventually kept Warwickshire waiting the equivalent of a full day for their next wicket.
Bowlers have had a rough time in the first two championship fixtures in Birmingham this season. When McGrath called his batsmen in, four innings had produced 1,906 runs, two double hundreds, four centuries and two county record partnerships. Jim Troughton and Tim Ambrose broke Warwickshire's fifth-wicket record in the draw with Hampshire.
Yet for all Yorkshire's dominance - McGrath advanced from 50 to 150 at exactly a run a ball - they should have been reined back for a lesser total.
In all, Warwickshire put down four chances and when Neil Carter hit the right spot, albeit with the score past 500, he took three wickets in eight balls.
Andrew Gale found second slip, attempting to drive the left-armer, McGrath's marathon innings ended when he chopped on, and Adil Rashid touched a lifter into the slips.
Until then, the day had brought nothing but drudgery for Warwickshire as they failed to take even a single bowling bonus point when Yorkshire reached the 120-over cut-off at 374 for two.
Left-hander Sayers was clearly in no mood to vacate the crease after going through 26 innings without a first-class half-century.
Adding only one run in the first 35 minutes on the second morning, he was on 115 after 100 overs but gradually picked up the tempo to hit 24 boundaries before Rikki Clarke held a chance at slip. The wicket was a first in the championship for New Zealand off-spinner Jeetan Patel.
Wicketkeeper Ambrose took two catches, the first from Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, who made 32, giving Carter a return of 4-129, before Yorkshire's closure with Gerard Brophy unbeaten on 40.
