East Rutherford, N.J. -- Walner (Tim Tetrick) was the easiest kind of winner of the $600,000 Breeders Crown for harness racing 2-year-old trotting colts and geldings in a track and stakes record 1:53 by 4½ lengths on Saturday at The Meadowlands. The record had been 1:53.2, shared by Pinkman (2014) and Manofmanymissions (2010). Walner is trained by Linda Toscano and owned by Ken Jacobs. Moonshiner Hanover (Scott Zeron) was second and Sortie (Andy McCarthy) was third. The early pace was set by Moonshiner Hanover who got to the :28 first quarter alone at the lead, after an early break by Giveitgasandgo (Corey Callahan) left the second spot temporarily empty. Walner was up front to take away the lead at the three eighths, and he was in front at the :57 half. Jake (Sylvain Filion) tried to overtake the lead from fifth and got up to third at the 1:26 three quarters, with Moosnhiner Hanover second inside him along the rail. When the field straightened for home, the son of Chapter Seven got mild urging from Tetrick and the two put distance between them and the field for an unpressured win in record time. "He can do it either way," said Tetrick. "He's got a ton of ability and he's very special. I just wanted to get around there safe and make sure I didn't mess it up. I knew I had a good horse, so if I got him in there with decent fractions I knew he would be hard to catch." "I was nervous this time because I expect big things from this colt, said trainer Linda Toscano. "He's a good colt, he has a great attitude. He loves his job." by Ellen Harvey, Harness Racing Communications
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - On a night that saw 10 trotting events on a 13-race harness racing program, two performances stood out at the Meadowlands Friday night. In a division of the Kindergarten Classic for 2-year-old colts and geldings on the trot, Walner rebounded to dominate in his second career Big M start. The Linda Toscano-trained colt brushed to command at the three-eighths before romping his way to a 6½ length win in 1:53.4 with Tim Tetrick doing the driving. A week ago in a similar spot, Walner went off stride as the 2-5 favorite, suffering the only loss of his brief four-race career, but the bettors forgave that outing, sending him to the gate as the 4-5 choice. The Kenneth Jacobs-owned son of Chapter Seven returned $3.60 to win. In the overnight feature for non-winners of $15,000 in their last five starts, Sutton ($8.80), who finished third in the Hambletonian last month, sat a perfect pocket trip and vacated the rail at the eighth pole to grab the top before holding off the late-charging Cash Me Out to record a neck win in 1:51.4 for the husband and wife team of driver Andy and trainer Julie Miller. Canepa Hanover, the 4-5 favorite after facing the likes of Obrigado and Resolve in his last two starts, moved to the lead at the three-eighths and led to the stretch before weakening to third. FOUR PAIR: Joe Bongiorno, Andy Miller, Ake Svanstedt and Yannick Gingras all recorded driving doubles on the program. ... Over the first three cards of the abbreviated four-program September meeting, Miller has driven nine winners. ...

Nichols, N.Y. - Just over a month removed from her 5-1/2 length win in the Geers Stakes, harness racing owner Kenneth Jacobs's Planet Rock ($13.80) proved victorious again at Tioga Downs, sustaining first-over progress and parrying two late-charging 2-year-old pacing fillies in a $110,200 New York Sire Stakes event on Friday (September 16) evening. The daughter of Rock N Roll Heaven and Villa Hanover was forced to abort a leave attempt as Artrageous (Jim Morrill, Jr.) led a :26.2 stampede through the first quarter. John Campbell would put Planet Rock in play with a circuit to go, advancing first-over to the clubhouse turn while 3-10 favorite Tequila Monday (David Miller) slipstreamed live cover through middle splits of :57 and 1:24.3. Planet Rock would succeed in dueling down Artrageous off the far turn, but she wasn't home free upon cornering. Tequila Monday--who drifted to the four-path after fanning off cover--quickly righted the ship and charged boldly, as did Robin J (Mike Simons) after finding room to vacate the pocket. Still, Planet Rock ultimately prevailed, driven out to hold sway by a neck in 1:52.3. Tequila Monday and Robin J finished second and third respectively, while Roaring To Go (Brett Miller) stayed on for fourth. Linda Toscano trains Planet Rock, who earned her seventh career win in just eight starts. In the sub-featured $13,500 Open 1 Trot, Dragin the Wagon ($8.10) made every yard a winning one en route to a 1:53.3 triumph. The 6-year-old Angus Hall gelding sprinted to the fore to evade a host of leavers to the first turn, and held clear of a belated rally from Prairie Fortune (Jim Meittinis), who emerged off third-over cover to take second. Aaron Byron drove the 31-time winner for owner James Cantelon and trainer Jeff Byron. An 11-race Closing Night card awaits on Saturday (September 17); first post is slated for 6:30 p.m., with full coverage on the Tioga Downs Racing Network to commence at 6:05 p.m. by James Witherite, Tioga Downs

Batavia, NY---A heavy early rain dampened the track, but not the enthusiasm shown by the eight harness racing 2-year-old pacing fillies competing for one of the largest single purses ever offered at Batavia Downs on Saturday night (Aug. 20). And when the all the moves were made, Robin J (Roll With Joe-Mommy Robin Q) saved her best one for last and captured the victory in the New York Sire Stake event.

Shortly after they passed that marker the outer flow set up with American Cheer (Billy Davis Jr.) coming first over and Pleasant Roll (Chris Lems) and Roaring To go (Kevin Cummings) following right behind. At the three-quarter pole they fanned four across the track when Pleasant Roll tipped three wide and Roaring To Go went four abreast. Pleasant Roll took the lead from Artrageous by a half-length in the last turn, but Artrageous dug in and took it back before they hit the stretch. As they headed down the lane Artrageous was in the middle of the track trying to fight off Pleasant Roll when Marohn moved Robin J into the passing lane and powered by them both to take the win in 1:56. "She was real good tonight, but I couldn't have asked for a better trip. The way it set up and the way the race went; it was all about the trip" said Marohn after the race. It was the fifth win in six lifetime starts for Robin J ($4.50) and the purse enhance her lifetime total to $131,605 for owner Ken Jacobs. Robin J is trained by Linda Toscano.

Nichols, N.Y. -- Tim Tetrick and Linda Toscano teamed up to capture all three divisions of the Geers Stakes for harness racing 2-year-old pacing fillies on Friday (August 12) night at Tioga Downs, while Cougar Bait ($6.10) led 2-year-old pacing colts and geldings with a track-record performance in his Geers split.

They teamed up again with Planet Rock ($2.10), who kept her undefeated record intact in the $26,856 fifth race.

The If I Can Dream-Every Play colt responded to a late push from Bettor's Western (Brett Miller), holding sway by three-quarters of a length in 1:51.1 for the fastest mile on the night.

Vernon, N.Y. -- Planet Rock ($7.90) remained undefeated through four career starts via a sparkling 1:52 mile in her $55,500 New York Sire Stakes event for harness racing 2-year-old pacing fillies on Saturday (August 6) night at Vernon Downs. Planet Rock enjoyed a cozy midpack stalking spot early on, perching just off the top trio as 48-1 outsider Takeyourbreathaway (Billy Davis, Jr.) worked to command before rating a :56.1 half-mile. With seven-sixteenths of the mile to go, Planet Rock slid second-over to draft behind a strong middle move from even-money favorite World Apart (Tim Tetrick), only to be left uncovered on entry to the far turn. Jim Marohn, Jr. continued to progress with the daughter of Rock N Roll Heaven and Villa Hanover, achieving the lead midway on the far turn. Planet Rock would face stern resistance from World Apart off the corner, but she started to edge away at the eighth pole just as World Apart stumbled. Planet Rock ultimately drew off to win by 2-3/4 lengths, missing See You At Peelers's track record for freshman pacing fillies by two-fifths of a second. That's the Ticket (Marcus Miller) worked into second off live cover, while Artrageous (Jim Morrill, Jr.) emerged from traffic to save third.

YONKERS, NY, Monday, July 18, 2016 - Yonkers Raceway Monday night hosted the $150,425 New York Sire Stakes Clyde Hirt Pace for harness racing 2-year-old fillies. Five divisions went at it, with a 'dead-heat' for fastest femme. Odds-on numbers Planet Rock ($2.90) and Robin J ($2.10) both owned by Ken Jacobs, trained by Linda Toscano and driven by Tim Tetrick, won in life-bests 1:56. The first two events went for $29,725 and $30,325, respectively. The former is a daughter of Rock N Roll Heaven, while the latter is a Roll with Joe lass.

HAMBURG, N.Y. --- She's A Billionair's front-running style paid big dividends in the New York Sire Stakes for the 2-year-old filly pacers on Wednesday night (June 6) at Buffalo Raceway as she set a new track record for that classification with an easy three-length win over Artrageous in 1:56.2. The time erased the old mark of 1:56.3 established in 2011 by Silky Purse and tied by Summertime Lea in 2012. It was also great night for driver Tim Tetrick, owner Ken Jacobs and trainer Linda Toscano as the trio teamed up to win two Sire Stake divisions. Robin J was the fastest winner for the connections with a gate-to-wire victory in 1:57.2 while stablemate Planet Rock covered the fast Hamburg half-mile oval in 1:58.0. Okidoki Blue Chip (Jim Morrill Jr.) took the final $27,750 leg by rolling to a 1:59.0 triumph over Rollingndiamonds (Brett Miller). She's A Billionair ($10.20) was in command the entire mile as she stepped off panels of 29.0, 58.4 and 1:28.1. There was little doubt was the winner was going to be in the stretch as Brett Miller was in a prone position under the wire with She's A Billionair in 1:56.2. Artrageous (Jim Morrill Jr.) was second best while Yourlipstogodsears (Tetrick) took third. "She's a small filly who is built for this kind of track," Miller said She's A Billionair. "She felt really good, is good gaited, and can scoot around these tight turns on a half-mile track." The Winbak Farm-bred She's A Billionair (Artiscape-She's Game) is owned by Frank Chick and trained by Dylan Davis. Robin J had little problem in disposing of her field as she went wire-to-wire to defeat That's How We Roll by 2-1/4 lengths while Lady Of Heaven (Brett Miller) took the show spot. Setting fractions of 29.2, 59.2 and 1:29.3, Robin J (Roll With Joe-Mommy Robin Q) was never threatened along the way in posting her first pari mutuel win. Planet Rock (Rock N Roll Heaven-Villa Hanover) let Roaring To Go (Brett Miller) do all the dirty work on the front end and then rolled on by late to capture the opening division in 1:58.0. Roaring To Go zoomed out to the lead off the gate and set splits of 29.2, 59.3 and 1:29.4 but had no answer in deep stretch as the pocket-sitting Planet Rock ($7.10) uncorked a 27.4 final panel to key the half length victory. Rockinsangria (Morrill Jr.) took the show position. Okidoki Blue Chip took the last division that was scratched down to a field of five as Roll With Faith, Twin B Onaroll and Under The Bus were all under the weather. The front end was the place to be as Okidoki Hanover had no problem in getting the advantage and never looked back in posting the solid 3-1/2 length score over Rollingndiamonds while Donato's Artist (Chris Lems) finished in third. Okidoki Hanover (Roll With Joe-Mattaroni) is trained by Tracy Brainard and co-owned by Brainard, Blue Chip Bloodstock, Howard Taylor and Charles Iannazzo. In the $15,000 Excelsior Series A races, Funkymonkeysunshine (Yannick Gingras) covered the mile in 2:02.0 and paid $4.90 in the opening leg. Gingras made it two straight in the A division as he guided Bullvillestephanie to a $19.20 upset in 2:00.1. Haviture Way Honey ($3.70) went coast-to-coast and just held on by a nose to tip Megyn K in 2:00.2 with Andy Miller in the sulky in the third bracket. Hayleigh's Hat (Kevin Cummings) pulled a $23.00 surprise in the final division with a 2:01.4 time. In the $6,700 Excelsior B Series event, Island Adventure had a trouble-free 2:02.1 journey for Morrill Jr. and posted the popular $4.10 victory. Mach This Way (Brett Miller) rallied in the passing lane and took the $9,000 feature for the filly and mares pace in 1:56.4 and returned $8.90. Morrill Jr. finished the night with a triple while Gingras, Brett Miller and Tetrick all doubled. JD Perrin, Brainard and Toscano all had a pair of training victories.

Nichols, N.Y. -- Harness racing driver Tim Tetrick and trainer Linda Toscano swept the 3-year-old Geers Stakes divisions at Tioga Downs on Monday (July 4) afternoon, with both Missile J ($3.80) and Cut and Paste ($3.60) prevailing in convincing fashion. In the $66,375 Geers for pacing colts and geldings, Missile J pushed clear of Mr D's Dragon (Jim Meittinis) midway on the first turn, controlling a :57.1 first half before accelerating clear on the backstretch. The 3-year-old American Ideal gelding used a :26.3 third quarter to get the jump on his eight rivals, ultimately besting pocket foe Mr D's Dragon by 3-3/4 lengths in 1:51.2. Fine Diamond (Matt Kakaley) circled belatedly to save third while detached from the top pair. Missile J, a 7-time winner, is owned by the KJ Stables, LLC and the Purple Haze Stables, LLC. Cut and Paste took advantage of a pocket trip through the first eleven-sixteenths of the $53,375 filly division, tracking Mother of Art (Mark MacDonald) before vaulting clear on approach to the far turn. As soon as Tetrick vacated the pocket with the Well Said filly, she sprinted clear with authority. The 6-time winner mounted a six-length margin over eventual runner-up Encore Deo (Mike Simons) before Tetrick geared her down in the last 70 yards to a 1:53 triumph. Ghose Runner (Tom Jackson) used a third-over trip to take third, just missing Encore Deo for the place spot. Early pacesetter Mother of Art faded on the far turn, finishing last of the seven fillies. Cut and Paste is owned by the Stake Your Claim Stable, the Camelot Stable, and Fred Wallace. Tetrick completed a driving hat trick on the nine-race card with Nitro Seelster ($3.60) in the $11,000 Open Pace, fanning three-wide off the far turn and out-sprinting Andreos Kardia (Aaron Byron), who found a seam up the pegs in the last sixteenth with an abundance of pace, in 1:51.2.

It was as uneventful an eight-hole trip as Missile J and harness racing driver Brian Sears, (part of entry) could possibly have wished for Saturday night, winning Yonkers Raceway's harness racing $300,000 Art Rooney Pace. A week after winning the lone, $40,000 elim for the 26th Rooney, Missile J was blind-drawed behind the eight-ball in a field of two 3-year-old colts and six geldings. He was in play early over a track that was moisturized by a fair amount of pre-card rain. Missile J fell into an open three-hole behind pole-sitting entrymate Artmagic (George Brennan) and Rodeo Rock (Dan Dube), who left a bit wide from post position No. 2 to make sure Missile J couldn't get around him early. Artmagic had things his own way over the "good" surface, getting a :27.3 opening quarter-mile and :56.1 intermission. The leader then lost his closest pursuer, as Rodeo Rock gave up the ghost chasing a :27.2 third quarter (1:23.3). Missile J had taken out of third by then, getting into second and picking up the scent of the leader. Artmagic owned a length-and-a-half lead into the lane, but his night was about to end. Missile J and a handful of closers rolled by, with Missile J drawing out to win by 2¼ lengths in 1:53. Second-at 37-1-went to a much-improved Tailgunner Hanover (Ray Schnittker), with Yankee Artillery (Jordan Stratton), Artmagic and Manny (Brent Holland) settling for the smaller remainder. No Shame Blue Chip (Tyler Buter), Rodeo Rock and a breaking Tap into Power (Jason Bartlett) completed the order. For Missile J, an unraced-at-2, $100,000 American Ideal gelding co-owned by Ken Jacobs' KJ Stables and Wanda Polisseni's Purple Haze Stables and trained by Linda Toscano, it was his fifth (consecutive) win in eight seasonal starts. The exacta paid $51.50, with the triple returning $194.50. "Last week was his first (half-mile) start and he was a bit aggressive," Sears said. "Tonight, he was more relaxed and the trip, from an eight-hole, certainly worked out. I was happy with him in the elimination and happier tonight." "He just wasn't ready (last season)," Toscano said. "We had to take our time with him, and it's begun to pay off. The Rooney was always where we wanted to try him. He has (New York) sire stakes and open stakes on the schedule, and tonight was a good first step." Sears won the Rooney for a fourth time (Badlands Hanover-2008, Pet Rock-2012, In the Arsenal-2015), matching the number of one John Campbell. The race began in 1989, one year after the death of Art Rooney Sr. Frank Drucker
Ken Jacobs has enjoyed his share of success in harness racing, both on the national stage and at home in New York. He has campaigned horses such as Dan Patch Award winner Heston Blue Chip and stakes-winners Kenneth J, He's Gorgeous, Doctor Butch, Jewels In Hock, and Becca J, not to mention many other successful horses. He hopes he can add Missile J to the list in the future. Unraced at age 2, Missile J has won four of seven races this year and brings a four-race victory streak to Saturday's $300,000 Art Rooney Pace for 3-year-old male pacers at Yonkers Raceway. The Linda Toscano-trained Missile J and driver Brian Sears won the single Rooney elimination last weekend at The Hilltop, but will need to fire like a rocket this weekend after drawing post No. 8 for the final. "On a half-mile track, it's very tough," Jacobs said about leaving from the outermost spot on the starting gate, which wins at a rate of 3.6 percent at Yonkers. "You need some luck. "He's a pretty fast horse and has a good attitude. He just has to stay sound. I've got the best trainer, so I'm very lucky. Very lucky. Linda and I have been together for 10 years, maybe longer, and she is very honest and loyal. I really like that. It's been a good partnership and we really enjoy each other." Missile J is a son of stallion American Ideal out of the mare Cantor's Daughter. Missile J was purchased for $100,000 under the name Newsmaker Bluechip at the 2014 Standardbred Horse Sale. Missile J is a full brother to stakes-winner Brownsville Bomber and his family includes millionaire Cam Swifty and stakes-winner Lonesome Day. "I picked them all the same way," Jacobs said. "I have my own criteria that I go on. Once they fall into that, I look at their conformation and family. That's how I do it. If the conformation is there, that's the one I try to get. I really liked this horse. "He trained down real good last year, but he got sore so we just quit with him. He's a pretty nice horse." Jacobs owns Missile J with Wanda Polisseni's Purple Haze Stables. "She said that every year I pick out winners, so could she have a piece of this one," Jacobs said, laughing. "She's such a wonderful person; she really is. She's good for the sport. She just loves the business. We're pretty good friends, so it was no problem. I'm happy Wanda is in on this horse." Missile J debuted with a ninth-place finish on Jan. 2, but since then hasn't been off the board in six races. His first win came in 1:51.1 on Feb. 20 in a conditioned race at the Meadowlands and he lowered his career mark to 1:51 with a victory at the Big M a week prior to the Rooney elimination. The triumph followed a respite of more than two months away from the races. "I gave him time off because I want him fresh for the rest of the year; we've got races all the way into November," Jacobs said. "That kind of helps him I think, giving him a little rest in between." Missile J is staked to the top races on the New York circuit and also has the Progress Pace on his schedule. "I didn't put him in the Breeders Crown or Meadowlands Pace because I wasn't sure how he was going to come back," said Jacobs, who owns a company with multiple locations in upstate New York that distributes electric motors, drives, controls, motor parts and power transmission products. "I thought he was going to be OK, but winning a couple non-winners of two (conditions) you don't know if you can go with the big guys. "He's got the Empire Breeders Classic and the New York Sire Stakes, races that I enjoy. I'm a New York kind of guy. (Driver) John Campbell calls me 'Billy Joel.' That's my nickname to him. He says I'm just a New York kind of guy. I just enjoy the racing. I have to go against the big guys; little old me, I (own) five or six horses. People think I buy 50 horses every year, but I really don't. I usually get two colts and two fillies. But I'm very passionate about it." In the Rooney final, elimination runner-up Rodeo Rock will start from post two for driver Daniel Dube and trainer Don Swick. He finished 1-3/4 lengths behind Missile J, who paced 1:53.2 for the win. Elimination third-place finisher Artmagic, owned by Purple Haze Stables and coupled with Missile J in the wagering, will start the final from post No. 1. George Brennan is listed to drive for trainer Trond Smedshammer. Saturday's card at Yonkers also includes the $100,000 Lismore Pace for 3-year-old female pacers. For more, click here. Ken Weingartner
Wil DuBois is the kind of kid you want to see succeed in harness racing, if only because he loves it so much. A third generation horseman along with his brother, Thomas, and sister, Samantha, Wil proudly states that the sport is in his blood. For any doubters, consider two stories to prove the point. The first came during Wil's junior year of playing football for Biddeford High School in Maine. At the time, he was also helping out his dad, Todd, at their stable and was unable to make football weightlifting sessions. He still lifted on his own, but the coach wasn't buying it. "He said football comes before family and stuff," DuBois said. "I said 'You know what, I'd rather be with the horses anyway.'" He continued to play lacrosse that year and, after early graduation in February 2015, Wil and Thomas went to New Jersey so Wil could work with trainer Linda Toscano. That's where the second story comes in. Thomas took a job and Wil worked with Linda while both lived in a hotel room. Because Wil didn't have a car, Thomas eventually quit his job so Wil could get to the stables every day. It was a sacrifice in the name of Standardbreds, but it eventually cost the brothers. "It was pretty cool," said DuBois, who turns 20 in August. "But I really wasn't making enough money to support both of us. He couldn't find another job, so we came back up this way. I lived with my uncle (Billy DuBois) and started working for him." That wasn't really a problem, since Wil considers working with horses about the greatest thing on earth. He earned his first driving win last October and since getting his trainer's license, has garnered four training victories since April. Wil's fraternal grandparents, Gordon and Jane DuBois, and maternal grandfather, the late Raymond Sawyer, are all Standardbred veterans. Todd and his wife, Donna, fell right in line, and their kids are keeping the tradition alive. Samantha works with Todd in his barn and will attend Morrisville for horsemanship, and 23-year-old Thomas is in his fourth year at Scarborough as the youngest paddock judge in the U.S. For good measure, their cousin Jordan Derue is one of the leading drivers at Saratoga in New York. "They all seemed to gravitate toward the horses," Todd said. "It's almost like they're born into it; like there was never going to be a question for any of the kids." There's a reason for that. "The biggest thing is they actually love the animals," Todd said. "Even if there's not a lot of money, if you wake up and can be around horses and enjoy your day that's all the money you need in the world. I think they see that. "Not that you don't need to make money and pay your bills and eat; because you do. But Wil's out hustling. He jogs horses; he does what he needs to do. He's not sitting around doing nothing. He helps his grandfather, he helps his uncle." He is literally living the dream, except for the part where he has to work part-time at a bakery to pay his bills. "When I was younger I got interested in different stuff but I've always wanted to train horses," he said. "Train and drive, that's always been my dream. I'm up every day at the barn. I'd rather be there than at the bakery." You know it's serious. Who doesn't want to be at a bakery? Actually, Wil would rather still be in New Jersey, which was the original hope when Todd hooked him up with Toscano. "I'd like to see him get out of Maine, and I got him the job with Linda and thought maybe he could launch from there, but it was tough with the two guys down there and just one job between them," Todd said. "But he definitely learned some stuff with Linda. "They've got a higher class animal. They're in a different league. It's more condensed. I have 15 horses, and two or three of us take care of them. Down there, you're only going to take care of three or four. It's more polished." Wil found it to be a great experience. "It was really cool," he said. "I got to see (2012 Hambletonian winner) Market Share, ($1 million-earner) Doctor Butch. I got to see how differently New Jersey is from Maine. It's a lot more business, where up here it's more of a family thing. I loved every minute of it. Hard work every day. Seven days a week -- no time to get in trouble." Asked if he tends to get in trouble, Wil laughed and said "Oh yeah, once in a while." Fortunately, he has put trouble on the backburner, getting his provisional driving license and trainer's license within the last seven months. At 6-foot-2, 250 pounds, DuBois' frame is not conducive to driving. But on Oct. 3 at the Cumberland Fair he drove Real Yankee to get his first win. "It was surreal, it was the best feeling I ever had in my life," Wil said. "It was pretty cool, too, because I was working for my uncle Billy. That day we had three in and we won all three races." His first training win came in April, and he has amassed three more since. "That was a little different than the driving win," DuBois said. "The horse I won with last year was my own. My uncle was the trainer, my grandfather was the owner, I didn't have any of those licenses yet. These horses I don't own so it's kind of different." Wil enjoys climbing in the sulky, but realizes his size limits what he can do. "I like messing around in the amateurs and stuff," he said. "If I ever get down (in weight) to drive later, I'd love to drive." "I think he's good at both driving and training," Todd said. "It's his dream to be a driver, but there's not many 6-2 guys out there. Jason Bartlett is 6-2 but he's a beanpole. Wil's quite capable for being a driver, not just because he's my son, but he's got a good set of hands and gets along with the horses. He makes good moves." DuBois' immediate plans are to stay in Maine for the summer, work with his family and check out the racing in Maine and Massachusetts. He feels "the fair season up here is always the best. It's peaceful, everybody knows each other. It's a fun atmosphere." He and Todd also know that for Wil to advance, he will need to move elsewhere. In the winter, he will see where things stand and is hoping to go to Florida "and learn some things." Where he ends up depends on what kind of position he gets. "It depends if I get a job offer or if we can find somebody who wants to race down there," Wil said. "If we can find someone who wants to race I would love to go to Pompano. If not, I wouldn't mind breaking babies somewhere." He has at least one guy in his corner who feels he can make it. "I think that he's going to have a good career," Todd said. "He's a good horseman, he's got a good set of hands. He gets along with them. He knows what he needs to do." More importantly, he knows what he wants to do. "It's all about keeping the horses happy," he said. "This has been in my blood. I don't focus on anything else." A high school football coach and an older brother willing to give up his job and car can both vouch for that. by Rich Fisher, USTA Web Newsroom Senior Correspondent
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (January 8, 2016) - The $25,000 Open I Handicap Trot was the featured event on the Friday night harness racing program at The Meadowlands. A highly competitive field of nine went to the gate, with Lindy's Tru Grit a slight 2-1 favorite at post time. There was plenty of speed off the gate as Uva Hanover, Opulent Yankee and Somebody As all left for position. Only two of those remained trotting after the first quarter as Opulent Yankee went off-stride on the first turn. Somebody As grabbed the racetrack through a 26.4 sharp opening quarter. Uva Hanover was content to sit the pocket behind the leader through a 55.2 half mile. On the far turn, Lindy's Tru Grit, who was stalking the leaders made his move for the lead, which he reached past three-quarters in 1:24. It was his race to lose in the stretch, but Uva Hanover was guided off the pylons and began to reel in the favorite. Uva Hanover took over in mid-stretch and powered away to a sharp two length score in a lifetime best 1:52.2. Lindy's Tru Grit remained second with Can Do rallying well to finish third. The win was the 14th for Uva Hanover, whose earnings are approaching $350,000 lifetime. He is trained by Linda Toscano for Stake Your Claim Stable and Martin Sternberg. Fresh from his trip to Australia, Tim Tetrick guided the five year old gelded son of Cantab Hall to the victory. March Awareness Upsets Open II Trot A tepid pace and a pocket trip resulted in a 9-1 upset for March Awareness in the supporting feature on Friday night at The Meadowlands. Allowed to sit behind the lone-leader. Lauderdale who wheeled off fractions of 28.1, 57.3 and 1.26.4, March Awareness slingshot by in deep stretch to score in 1:55 for Yannick Gingras. The win was the 19th in the career of March Awareness with earnings of $219,740. He is trained by Ron Burke, who co-owns the six year old gelded son of Ken Warkentin with Weaver Bruscemi L.L.C. Team Orange Crush Pairs Up Andy and Julie Miller teamed up to score a pair of trotting wins early on the card at The Meadowlands on Friday night with Magenta Man and Allerage Star. Magenta Man scored in a non-winners of two condition event in a lifetime best 1:55.4, while Allerage Star did not disappoint as the 2-1 favorite from post 10 in a non-winners of six trotting event. Both trotters are owned in part by Jeff Gural's Little E L.L.C. After sweeping the late daily double, Yannick Gingras bagged four winners on the card. Jim Marohn Jr., Andy Miller and Trond Smedshammer each won a pair. Total handle on the 14-race program was $2,879,881. Racing returns on Saturday, with first post time at 6:35 P.M. Darin Zoccali
A rare Monday card (Sept. 28) from Harrah's Philly featured two divisions of The Liberty Bell for 3-year-old filly pacers and a pair of upper-conditioned level events on the pace as well. Linda Toscano trainee Better Said (S. Zeron) took the first division of The Liberty Bell. The daughter of Well Said was leading the compact field of five when top contender Well Hello There (Gingras) broke at the quarter pole. Better Said led every step of the way in 1:53.1. It was her fifth victory of the year, her first since a mid July overnight win here at Harrah's Philly. She is owned by Brittany Farms. Steve Elliott charge Bodacious (S. Allard) continued her winning ways in division two. The daughter of Somebeachsomewhere took off the early pace, settling in fifth from post one. She was able to grind into striking position, holding off the upset minded Deli Beach (Geo. Napolitano Jr.) to win by a head in 1:52.2. She is owned by Conrad Zurich and Hauser Bros. Racing. In other news, aged pacer Sky Is The Limit (S. Allard) was game in victory in a non-winners of $20,000 in the last 5 starts or non-winners of 9 races or $90,000. The 5-year-old son of Western Ideal drafted behind cover until three-quarters, edging wide to defeat pace-setter Bettors Glass in 1:51.3. It was career win 16 for the Shaun Vallee trainee, starting for the ninetieth time. Owned by Darius Oshidar, he paid $7.00 to win. Richard and Dale Julich's Badix Hanover won his third straight on Monday. The 3-year-old gelded son of Western Ideal led at every quarter, completing the mile in a lifetime's best 1:50.3. The race was for non-winners of $15,000 in their last 5 or non-winners of 7 races or $70,000 lifetime. The Kevin Mc Dermott trainee was heavily favored in the event. Michael Bozich

"The improving numbers are not only attributable to an improving market," said James Dingman, Help-U-Sell Real Estate's chief development officer.

The top three overall winners were determined by adding up points allotted for each new listing, closed buyer side and listing sold. The offices with the most points in each of the individual categories also won prizes. However, offices that finished in the top three overall were not eligible to win in individual categories. Prizes consisted of franchise administration fees and button-up shirts with the Help-U-Sell Real Estate logo.
Due to a tie, seven Help-U-Sell Real Estate offices around the country won prizes. The top overall winners were Help-U-Sell Honolulu Properties, Pennsylvania-

Tesco has given up attending meetings of independent suppliers organised by the watchdog Ofgas since the beginning of the year. The retailer was the only one of the large supermarket chains to join in the meetings of the Domestic Competition Focus Group, which acts as an information exchange for businesses interested in participating in the emerging domestic market. Tesco had a small team of staff working on the project, led by Steve Mcardle, a marketing manager in its Clubcard department.
This week Southern Electric, the last remaining independent regional electricity company, said it understood the supermarket groups had abandoned plans to sell gas and electricity.
Sainsbury had called off discussions with independent gas companies earlier this year apparently after fears that its brand might be damaged by repetitions of the marketing problems in domestic gas competition trial areas in the south of England. Independent suppliers had hoped to forge alliances with the supermarkets to tap into their loyalty card customer databases.
Observers also point to low profit margins of as little as 1 per cent in the electricity supply market and uncertainties of securing wholesale gas supplies at competitive prices.
The oil giant British Petroleum has also distanced itself from the domestic market. One of BP's executive committees is believed to have discussed proposals to move into the gas market for the third time without reaching a decision.Reuse content

Chacmool sculptures are thought to have originated from the Toltec site of Tula in the early Post-Classic period. The term chacmool literally means 'red/great jaguar paw' in Yucatec Mayan language. A nineteenth-century explorer coined the term to describe the large reclining figures found on temples at the Maya site of Chichen Itza. All chacmools follow a schematic form where the figure reclines with knees bent and the head sits vertical to the ground, facing 90 degrees from the body. The hands of the figure hold a receptacle, believed to have contained offerings. This example originates from Michoacán where a powerful Post-Classic civilisation known as the Tarascan kingdom flourished.

Read an Excerpt
Kim grew up in a small city in Wisconsin. She is in her mid-40s and she works in the field of education. Kim experienced a number of conflicts and a feeling of not being accepted as she explored ways to fit into a Jewish family and community. It has been difficult for her to find a comfortable level of participation in a religion that is not her own.
Kim (to be followed by her husband, Jeff)
When I was a child my parents would have described us as Protestant although we changed around quite a bit. My parents are very liberal. I think they had trouble with organized religion. They both cast off Christianity fairly easily as adults, but when we were kids they still wanted us to have some religious participation.
The churches I remember going to with my parents were Presbyterian. I absolutely hated going to Sunday school, and I never felt like I was very much connected to Christianity at all. Religion was sort of a non-issue for me.
Growing up, I really didn't know any Jewish people at all. Then I went to do an internship during college, in Washington, D.C. There were people from all over the country. My roommate was Jewish, from New Jersey, and she was really a character. Also, there were a lot of Jewish people in the building. I learned something about Judaism and being Jewish by osmosis.
I met Jeff when I came to Chicago for graduate school. He was working at the Peace Corps, and I was working in a woman's organization. I didn't meet many men, and I was kind of concerned about that. I was in my mid-twenties. I wanted to get married some day and have kids. Jeff and I started dating, and we became good friends and just kind of took things slowly.
Religion was not an issue for us. Jeff was not particularly hooked in to any Jewish community or culture. He didn't go to temple. He wasn't a very Jewish person. And by the time I met him I was really non-religious, so I honestly didn't think it could be a problem at all. It was, however, an issue with his family, which I didn't find out about until later. I would say I was very naïve about what it really meant to marry someone who was Jewish. I don't think I thought it could make that much difference.
I'll give you an example of
what happened. Jeff's parents live
This was fairly early on in our relationship. We might have been living together by then. And Jeff was bringing me home to meet his parents. He had really not dated a lot of women, so I think it was a big deal for his parents that he was bringing someone home. Of course, I never thought at all about what they must have been feeling because I wasn't Jewish.
But when I got there, everyone was very nice. We had a big meal, and his whole family was there. I'm sure they were all there because they wanted to see whom Jeff was dating finally. We were sitting at the table. Everyone was eating except his mother, who of course was running around in the kitchen. She never sits at the table. So there is this crowded table with this big family. All of a sudden, there's a moment of complete silence. Then his older brother says, "Well, at least she's not Black." And then they all laughed uproariously.
Since then, I've come to know this family. I don't think the brother who made that remark is really a racist, and I don't think he was trying to hurt me. He is just a funny, irreverent person. Anyhow, Jeff is laughing. Everyone's laughing. Of course, I've never forgotten this because it was really quite a moment. And I'm thinking, "Should I laugh, am I being insulted here, what is this?"
The flip side of it is that my parents simply thought it was interesting that I was dating someone Jewish. They certainly didn't mind. It was shocking to me that it was such a much different thing for his family. After that dinner was when I started to realize that this really was a big issue and that Jeff's parents were going to care.

The doors of life, number 2
The doors to life are a small affair,
all shiny wicker and brass,
but the doors to death are solid affairs,
Black and tall, existing without a care,
for life is humble,
death is not, for life is fair,
it is death that is not.
Death be your constant companion,
for he never leaves your side,
all men walk with death, side by side,
some might even know he is there.
Friends are forever, Death may be too,
for life gets many a man down,
but while they complain,
it's actually plain,
they like life too much to leave

LRS idle, but vaults into 1st in final poll
Tue., Oct. 29, 2013, midnight
The Lind-Ritzville/ Sprague football team didn't play last week – and not because of a scheduled bye – and still the Broncos managed to vault into first in the NWPrepsNow final power rankings.
"It took the referees not showing up, but we finally saw the Broncos not win on Friday night," said KHQ/SWX sports director Sam Adams, who voted LRS No. 1 in his final ballot.
LRS leapfrogged Freeman to grab the top spot. The Broncos received three first-place votes from the nine-member panel for 39 points. Freeman, which received two first-place votes, and Ferris, which also received two first-place votes, finished tied for second with 37.
A point back in fourth are the Coeur d'Alene Vikings, who received one first-place vote.
Rounding out the top six are Shadle Park (31) and Wallace (4), which made its first appearance in the rankings.
LRS was set to play at Colfax on Senior Night last Friday. But no officials showed up for the game because of a scheduling snafu.
After much deliberation during the weekend, the schools agreed to play Nov. 5, which will give both three games in an eight-day span.
Ferris, tied with Shadle atop the Greater Spokane League, moved up a spot in the final rankings.
"Coach Jim Sharkey ought to send a nice gift over to Mt. Spokane coach Mike McLaughlin after the Wildcats knocked off Gonzaga Prep, allowing the Saxons to control their own postseason destiny," GSL broadcaster Larry Weir said. "A win over Mead on Thursday assures Ferris of the No. 1 seed into the 4A playoffs and a home game against Richland."
Weir said Shadle's rise has been a joy to watch.
"They are just so much fun to watch play offense," Weir said. "Even though some thought they'd be challenged by the Central Valley defense, that group continues to roll along. Their defense struggled a bit more than usual Friday."

Having problems with your Nikon D80 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens ?
Nikon D80 shows err and no picture can be taken. shutter gives ussual sound as if taking picture. autofocus does not work
Answers :
I have just experienced the same problem while on vacation - very frustrating! Luckily my wife had a D60 so we could continue shooting. I checked the troubleshooting section of the manual and it advises to try firing the shutter. This did not clear the problem and indicates a camera malfunction, so I am arranging for the camera to go to a Nikon Service centre. It's very annoying as the camera is only 20 months old and has not been used heavily.

To adjust the focus on the camera you are suppose to press the shutter button halfway down and it will lock your focus in and then press the shutter button again and take the picture. It was working fine and the next time I turned my camera on this option would not work. I try the press the shutter button down halfway the it does nothing. All I can do now it press it all the way to take the picture. I have an Olympus E-420 digital SLR camera.

Where I stayed
In a city of landmarks, the grand theatre of Havana stands out, though it's better to gawk at its exterior statues and baroque detailing from across the street. Up close, the glimpses of the interior almost entice us to take a tour, but Rosemary and I discover a concert for Ibrahim Ferrer is happening Monday night and shell out for tickets
My plan to leave my family to tour the Capitolio while I do some journal uploading is thwarted by the fact the cybercafe inside the building is closed. I hang out at the art gallery while they take in all the marble and ornateness (see my entry "Havana Time" for more photos and info). I make an aborted attempt to check out the Santeria drumming demonstration at the Yoruba cultural centre, before we all jump into an old convertible and roll back to the Nacional in style for drinks and recuperating time before dinner.
Tonight, we cab to one of the many fine private restaurants that lure people into the further districts of Miramar and Playa. Cuba's paladares, as these restaurants are called, were illegal until the 1990s. As a result, they're often strategically invisible from the street. Paladar Calle 10 actually boasts a small sign outside the building, otherwise we'd think we're trespassing around the side of a large mansion, past barking dogs to a dark gate. But the gloom opens to a beautiful lamp-filled garden oasis, with an open kitchen and the most delectable smells wafting into the night.
Despite the restrictions placed by the government on ingredients and seating (both largely ignored), paladares offer the most consistently good food for tourists. We dine extravagantly on stuffed seafood and lamb skewers. The only problem is our late start. The food hasn't even arrived by the time Lucy crashes on a couple of chairs, and Jonathan won't settle.
My yearning for the night of Havana gets rekindled on an emergency trip for water at 9:30 p.m. Vedado is just starting to wake up. I know we can't go out, but we have a balcony in the main part of the apartment and I want us to just go and watch the world beyond. Julie doesn't want to leave the sleeping kids alone, so we lie in the dark of our room, speaking quietly of the trip, the return to Canada. Already we're moving away from this odd land. The last Friday in Cuba, like the first, is spent in a bedroom, listening to the tantalizing, elusive music and sounds of the city. A metaphor for something, if I set my mind to it.

Stephen Strasburg's return to the major leagues Tuesday was another testament to how brilliantly the 23-year-old can rise to the moment. He threw five shutout innings in his first start in over a year, again surpassing the lofty expectations put in place from a staggering level of hype.
His second start of the season, though, delivered a necessary reminder Sunday: The road back from Tommy John surgery doesn't end when the rehab assignment does. And for Strasburg, it won't end this year.
With his fastball losing some sink on a muggy September day in the District, Strasburg could only get through three innings in 57 pitches. He threw 31 in the first inning, and though he settled down after that, cruising through the second and third innings in 26 pitches, manager Davey Johnson pinch hit for Strasburg in the bottom of the third, rather than have him start the fourth when he had a 70-pitch limit.
"He was irritated. He said, 'Just three?!' And I said, 'Yeah, just three,'" Johnson said. "But I expected that. I like the way he's coming along. I really don't put a lot of stock into the number of pitches. It's more whether he labored in the inning. I think that puts more stress on a pitcher than the number of pitches."
In the first inning, Strasburg said he was rushing his delivery, which made his sinker run more than drop. The Astros were able to foul off 10 pitches in the first inning, and Strasburg got to three-ball counts with the first three hitters he faced.
"We just were trying to feel him out," Astros left fielder J.D. Martinez said. "He'd just came back off rehab and we were just trying to feel him out. He'd get ahead and then he'd fall behind right away so it's not like he was just strike, strike, strike, strike, strike and we were just fouling them off. He'd throw a couple strikes and then he'd throw a couple balls so we were just being patient with him."
His velocity also wasn't as good as it was in his first outing, but Johnson said the weather was as big of a factor there as anything else - though he said pitching coach Steve McCatty "was like Mother Hen over there. He was about to have a heart attack." But Johnson equated the start to the second time through the rotation in spring training, and wasn't worried about the fact Strasburg's fastball averaged just 92.4 mph in the second inning.
The last five four-seam fastballs he threw averaged 96.6 mph, and his last pitched, which got Martinez to ground out, was clocked at 97 mph.
Afterward, Strasburg covered himself in blue body paint as part of the Nationals' annual rookie hazing. This year, all the rookies (or players who hadn't been through it before) dressed up as Smurfs; "I think I'll be the biggest Smurf anybody's ever seen," Strasburg said.
That's part of the process of coming up in the big leagues. And the rough start is part of the process of coming back from major surgery - no matter how much it seemed like Strasburg might have been immune to it.
"You go out there one day, and everything's clicking," Strasburg said. "You go out there another day, and try to do the same thing, and it's just a little bit off. It's just because you have limited reps. The more and more time I get out there, and the more and more times I face hitters, the better it's going to be."

"[...snip] If the single test does not show a huge improvement, the project is considered a failure and scrapped. This happens all the time, and it always stifles innovation. Why propose something new if you have to be right all the time?

Like other old buildings, the old website needed a fresh coat of paint and a few floorboards replaced. However, like any other remodel, one never knows the size of a job until the first board is pulled up.
It turns out, for this particular job, there were a few loose wires, and all of a sudden, flash, bang, woosh: no more site.
So, now we are down to studs and a couple of charred photos. Who doesn't like a new beginning?

Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted parts to repair your Equinox. You bought your Equinox because its dependability and long-lasting quality appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement CV Axle Shaft for your vehicle. When your Chevrolet Equinox rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes value in their automobile.
Thanks to one crucial innovation last century, we now can experience a comfortable and versatile ride quality. Without the CV axle shaft, independent suspension would not have been possible and the ride in your Chevrolet Equinox would be much more harsh. The Chevrolet Equinox CV axle shaft has special universal joints that allow the shaft to continue to rotate at the same speed even if the transmission or differential and wheel hub are at different heights. When CV axles get damaged it usually means that the wheel it was attached to will no longer receive input from the transmission.
Don't let a broken CV Axle Shaft spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. When your Chevrolet requires a top quality replacement CV Axle Shaft, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Get your Equinox back on the road with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. All the Chevrolet Equinox CV Axle Shaft parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005.

Windy, Wintry Wednesday On Tap
Light snow diminishes quickly this afternoon as low pressure departs to the east. However, the brisk wind remains firm and pushes wind chills into the lower teens and single digits as temperatures drop into the mid-20s by 5pm. What a dramatic change in less than 24 hours, with many areas 30-35 degrees colder than Tuesday afternoon!
Wind remains sustained at 25 to 30mph this afternoon before diminishing into the 5 to 15mph range overnight.
Lows tomorrow morning drop into the single digits with wind chills at or below zero for many locations… setting the stage for an unseasonably cold day in Central Indiana.
Highs tomorrow will be closer to the average low than average high, but we're still expecting a quick recovery into the middle 50s Friday as the southwest flow returns. We'll need to watch Sunday for possible storm development across the Ohio Valley, though there remains much uncertainty in long range guidance. Have a great afternoon and thanks for visiting the blog – Sean Ash

For longtime baseball enthusiast Drew Dull, it's been a goal since getting into teaching and coaching to land a job in which he can guide young ballplayers to aspire to be great.
That day recently game for the West Brunswick math teacher as Dull was hired to lead his alma mater as the new head baseball coach at East Forsyth High School in Kernersville.
"It's something you work for and try to do it the right way," said Dull. "You have to work the process. You start coaching the junior varsity, work your way up to assistant and ultimately you want to be a head coach. That was my plan from day one to eventually be a head coach and it just happened to work out perfectly with me going back to my old high school."
Dull, 28, has been an assistant baseball coach at West Brunswick for the last six years. He was a 2004 graduate of East Forsyth and his mother Karen is a former coach and athletic administrator there.
"It's a place I grew up. The kids are experiencing the same thing I experienced and to get to go back home is something I'm looking forward to," said Dull. "I've watched some of my future players in little league and to get back there and to coach them in their high school days is different because its your hometown.
"The supporters, fans, we all have expectations and I probably have the highest of them all, but I think that's what you want heading into any new job."
East Forsyth was 24-5 overall in 2015 and fell in the fourth round of the state playoffs. He'll replace Jim Hyatt, who retired at the end of the season. Dull applied for the same job two years prior before Hyatt was hired for the position.
"It was tough to not be able to get the job two years ago and I applied for a few other head coaching positions since then, but it all fell into place this time around," said Dull. "I've just tried to do things the right way and now I can finally say I'm coming home. I closed on a house on July 31 and I'll be there in a few weeks and that's the start of a new chapter."
Dull will also have some big time experience on his side as his brother, Ryan Dull, is a pitcher for the Oakland Athletics organization, at the Double-A Minor League level in Midland, Texas.
"We've talked and he'll be adding a huge influence on our pitchers and giving them knowledge of the game," said Dull. "Some of the kids already work out with him during the offseason. They look up to him and to have my brother and guy like Ryan on my side will be a huge help."
After graduating from high school, Dull was a catcher on the Methodist College baseball team. He will teach math at East Forsyth.
