the spacecraft itself, inside the capsule, things that they had to do, checks that they had to do. that s not happening in this capsule. no, they re sitting back and taking it all in. there are no switches to throw or checklists to worry about. they did check their communication, as you heard. you want to make sure you can talk to each other and talk to the ground if there is any sort of issue. but this is all about being a passenger. it does raise that question, do you categorize them technically as astronauts, given the fact they really have no active role in controlling the craft, or are they tourists, are they space flight participants? i think we still have to kind of sort out the lexicon or definitions as this new era begins. but for now they get to make the rules. we ll call them astronauts because they re going to reach that, you know, imaginary line. and, you know, it s hard to draw a line and figure out where the atmosphere ends and where space
Four $12,600 headliners for developing younger performers were in the Wednesday (July 14) spotlight at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
On the trot, Ethan T Hanover, a sophomore son of Bar Hopping who is a half-brother to double Breeders Crown winner Emoticon Hanover, went wicked fractions of :27.4, :55.4 and 1:24.2, then drew clear of his opposition late for a 3-3/4-length victory in 1:54.2, beating his old mark by three seconds. Lindys Goin Crazy, who battled gamely close behind the winner most of the mile, edged first-over favourite Magical Muscle Man for second behind the winner of $156,673, who was driven by Kasper Foget for trainer Per Engblom and the partnership of Engblom Stable LLC, Douglas Sipple, and Mal & Janet Burroughs LLC.
The popular $12,600 features for developing younger horses drew four divisions of promising trotters and pacers on a hot Wednesday (June 30) at Harrah’s Philadelphia.
Distaff pacers got the card started with a 1:51.4 mile, and at the finish everyone knew that McCarthy had driven the winner – but was it Todd or Andrew? The photo showed it was the Somebeachsomewhere sophomore filly Beach Crazy and Todd McCarthy who rallied up the inside to get a nose advantage over favored Nashville Elgenna and brother Andrew. Beach Crazy lowered her mark a tick for trainer Stacy Chiodo, whose Chiodo Racing LLC co-owns the in-form filly with Jeffery Shore and Robert Barr.
With many sire stakes programs yet to commence and little on the Grand Circuit schedule for three-year-old pacers during the month of May, Yonkers Raceway attracted four divisions of the W.N. Reynolds Series for sophomores on the pace.
Carded as races four through seven on the Friday 10-race program, the Reynolds are split evenly, with two races for fillies and a pair for colts and geldings.
There is no shortage of talent among the 30 entered, but the two splits for the boys came up especially deep. Perhaps at the top of the heap off 2020 performance is American Courage. The Travis Alexander trainee won seven of eight starts in his rookie year of racing and returns to the races off a strong second-place finish in a qualifier at The Downs at Pocono. He sat third in that mile, before moving into second on the final turn and sprinting home in :27.1.
