Horseracing is important because it is the oldest sport in the country. Saratoga has the premier track in the country. It makes the most money. In 1863, John Morrissey who owned a bunch of casinos in town wanted something for his people to do in the daytime. He thought maybe they might like to have they might like to do horseracing. On august 2, he had a fourday meet and it was held at what is called the old trotting track, built in 1849. One of the problems was the track was not a good facility at all. It was so popular, they charged one dollar a person to come in. He still made money off it after four days. Considering the fact that it was a very bad horse show because of the civil war, courses are important to the war movement, and they needed it for the north and south, but somehow he got these horses together and it was such a success. He knew he could not use his track anymore. He got people together including William Travers, john hutter, and leonard jerome, and they got the mon
Cris this is the right call. You make this. And all you need is a field goal if you recover the onside kick. If you miss it, you have to get a touchdown. For gase al thought they had the play in. Didnt need to stop the clock, in his mind. Take a timeout. Clock stops anyway. Kenyan drake is in the backfield. On the 2 yard line. They give it to drake. And he is going to barrel his way in for the conversion. With 92 seconds, its going to come down to that onside kick. To keep miamis hopes alive. Cris watch Anthony Fasano here. As this gets stuffed, he will push kenyan drake into the end zone. Good doubleteam up front. Here comes the final push. On the part of fasano. They had one onside kick. See what they have up here. The ravens tried one of those funky kicks where it looked like they were going to kick it to the right and did a back handed kick that didnt make it the ten yards. Everybody has tricky kicks here. A lot of times, the guy right next to the kicker, will have the kicker look
Central brussels close to subway situations. As kelly was mentioned, a foreign minister did say art arrest of abdeslam the other day that there was evidence from that terror cell that he was to be hanging with was planning to restart something, that was their expression. And possibly, that may conclude what turns out to be the suspected attack today. A large amount of weapons were raids. There were kalashnikovs at a previous raid and isis flag found as well. So, clearly, authorities were aware that this terror cell has managed to accumulate a large amount of weapons and prepared to mount an attack that do place across several areas possibly as attack. Theres no indication that the attack on the Brussels Airport included any kind of warning or coordinated. Local time. Thats about 3 00 a. M. Eastern in the checkin area of the airport. The unsecured zone where people walk in from the curb. And it took place next to checkin 4 in departure hall 1. Thats a fairly small area used by a number
Two, one around the curbside area near the departures areas. That is said to be, or perhaps to have been a suicide bombing. And then another explosion just inside the departures area. Now, we should mention this would be an area, and youre looking at footage from the scene right now. This would be an area where you would not have had to have gone through security to get into that area. So, anyone arriving from a car or Mass Transportation could have gone into that area carrying a suitcase or a backpack and detonated it. And then a short time later, in separate bombings, there were several explosions in subway stops in and around the brussels area. Now, one of those was said to be in the molenbeek area. Its important to note that, because that is the area where, on friday, Salah Abdeslam who was the alleged mastermind of the paris terror attacks of november was arrested. Just four days ago, on friday, the alleged mastermind of those paris attacks. So the question is now, was this some s
