The story so far: Khaine and Maia, finally able to interact with their abductors, are able to finally learn a bit about the Coalition and the nature of ‘Null’ creatures. Now that Wayvuhshine (‘Wave’ to the humans) is able to understand human’s spoken language it is posing questions on the nature of already encountered ‘Null’ creatures and if they are sapient or sentient. Due to the duality of humanity, Wave is trying to find out what makes an individual human a ‘Null’ or a ‘Broadcaster’.
Tyrndarian Research Vessel Crashing Wave Currently enroute to Earth
-Wayvuhshine-
I sat at the computer in the lab, debating what to do about Khaine and Maia, lost in thought.
One does not simply go around and kidnap other sapient species. It is a gross violation of the tenants of the Coalition.
Even if said species could prove to be crucial for the ongoing war? The insight they provide could end this war that has been going on for over 2000 years!
Do the ends justify the means?
Wait…does it even need to be asked? Khaine and Maia seem to be quite willing to return and contact us again. If they come back willingly it is not abduction. What if they bring more of their tech for us to study…or food…or their kids? So many opportunities. What will they want in return? Will they want anything in return? Maybe they could help understand the electromagnetic wave bombardment that occurs when one approaches Earth. If we can establish a return policy or method, then would letting them go be such a hard time. Do we need them here all the time? Cracking their genetic code alone will take a while, they don’t need to be here for that. They already had scans and a slew of information to go through. Not to mention watching the recordings of their interactions and now that we had a way to…hear?...them, to listen to them and further calibrate our new little toy.
Content with my decision to let them return, I headed to them and told my aides to start planning to return our guests.
-Maia-
The kids should be coming home soon…if it is Sunday like Khaine thinks. What time of day is it? Oh god…we need to pick them up from the airport. What if Regi and Anna had called to tell us they put the kids on the plane? What if they are freaking out? What if…-
Khaine’s hand clapped on my shoulder and I looked back and up into my husband’s eyes.
“Babe, chill…I practically hear your thoughts. Things will work out, and worrying about it won’t change anything.”
He smiled, exuding confidence and ease, and despite my thoughts and fears I found myself calming down. I swear that bastard was just a walking ‘don’t give a fuck’ emitter, and that was BEFORE he joined Special Operations.
“How can you be so sure though babe? They could decide to keep us.”
“They could…but Wave seems pretty nice and understanding. If they do, I’ll just have to convince him otherwise. It is my job after all.”
“Babe, your job is to change human minds…you haven’t been trained to Jedi mind-trick aliens…wait…have you?”
He never talked in depth about his training, but I knew he spent a solid year learning languages and persuasion techniques, hell, he was still studying. It was kinda scary how persuasive he could be at times.
“No babe, not yet at least. Although I’m willing to bet that will be the next hot topic.”
“Then what if you can’t convince him.”
Khaine stopped and considered. “Then we will hope that video games are right and spaceship controls are simple…”
“Babe, you aren’t gonna start an intergalactic incident by stealing a spaceship.”
“Not unless I have to.”
I could only just shake my head. “You are a mess, babe.”
“Look, I think they would rather me do with minimal damage, rather than you. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t lose your shit and go all momma bear rage mode on them for keeping us from our kids.”
…He did have a point…the dick.
“Shut up.”
“That’s what I thought.”
“Look, jus-“
The sound of the door sliding open and the familiar silhouette of Wave slithered into our room…quarters? Whatever, Wave came in with the translator in tow.
“Sup, Scales?” Khaine greeted our host cheerily, as we have not been discussing possible mutiny.

KHAINE, THAT IS NOT MY NAME, WE HAVE BEEN OVER THIS.

“Yeah, kinda a human trait, man, we gonna give silly nicknames to just about everything.”

ONE DAY I HOPE TO UNDERSTAND YOUR SPECIES, BUT THE LONGER I OBSERVE THE MORE I REALIZE I MIGHT HAVE SET MY SIGHTS A BIT HIGH. I DO NOT THINK YOUR SPECIES EVEN UNDERSTANDS ITSELF.

Well…he wasn’t wrong.
“Ya, if ya’ll are done odd couple bro’ing it up, can we go home now?”

OH, YES, BUT PLEASE, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO RETURN AND AID OUR UNDERSTANDING?

I was dreading this…kinda felt like I was making a choice outside our paygrade. I was willing to do just about anything to get us home, but this sounded like volunteering to be a guinea pig.
“Look man, I’m down to help peaceful understanding, but what are the communication methods, times, obligations?”
Wave looked confused for a moment, then Wave’s eyes opened in what I hoped was understanding.

AH, I SEE. THERE IS NO OBLIGATION, YOU ARE A SAPIENT SPECIES AND THAT MERITS AUTONOMY. THE SESSIONS WOULD BE DONE WHEN IT IS CONVIENIENT FOR YOU, AS MY HOME PLANET AND THE COALITION HAVE NOT GIVEN REQUIRED DATES FOR RESEARCH GOALS. WE HAVE ACTUALLY DESIGNED AN…”APP”? FOR YOUR COMMUNICATION DEVICE. RELATIVELY EASY PROGRAMMING ACTUALLY. THE APP IS IN YOUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND WILL ENABLE ‘TEXTING’ AND A MESSAGE THAT WILL ALLOW RELATIVE TELEPORTATION BY PROVIDING COORDINATES. IN ADDITION, WE WOULD NOT CONDUCT STUDIES THAT YOU DO NOT AGREE TO.

Just like that it felt like someone lifted a great weight off of me, weight that I didn’t even know was there. Khaine looked at me and nodded.
“That sounds agreeable…babe?”
“Hell the fuck yes. Now, this has been seriously amazing Wave, but please, send me back to my kids.”
Wave nodded and lifted his (its? Still didn’t know) arm and pushed a button on a wrist band that I hadn’t noticed before.
“Hey, how are you getti-“ the world…jumped and twisted and I felt tingly…and then I felt a thump. Smells of the woods and trails came back and then I felt like I had been jerked around, nausea hit me…aaaaand whatever the hell it was that they fed us coming up.
HURRRRRRRK
“Oh god…that…what the fuck…”
I looked over at Khaine, he looked pale and shaken, but he wasn’t hurling.
“Jesus that was rough…rougher than a static line jump at least…fuck. Must have something to do with inertia differences…fuck, if they dicked that up we coulda died…”
He looked around.
“Ugh…um…looks like we are back on the trail…and its light out. Let’s get home and figure out what the hell time it is, and get in touch with mom.”
I nodded and we headed back home, I didn’t even mind when Khaine raced past me.
As always, please feel free to critique or comment below. Thank you for your time.

I believe that effort and knowledge of horse racing can lead to profits that will boggle most handicapper's mind. But concentrating on the right types of bets and when to take a shot is probably the most important factor. A lot of handicappers believe in taking a shot at big money and hope to get lucky because that is what it takes to hit a P3, P4, P5 or P6. Others who prefer to bet speed figures and favorites will have to settle for a few hundred a couple times a month, if they are good at handicapping. But serious handicappers who want to slow down later in life and maybe even semi-retire from the work force will be best serve learning the game of breeding and learn when to take a shot and what type of bet to use. The payoffs are there and has always been in my 40 years of handicapping.
I pretty much tried every angle you could possibly imagine but most lead down a road of futility. Yes, I tried the trainer's angle, the jockey's angle, the owner's angle, speed figures angle, up and down in class angles, last race win angle and numerous others. They all have their up and downs, like all angles, but that is because human thinking comes into play. One of the first angle I learned not to follow was the "expert" angle because their knowledge is no better than mine and they will tend to land on favorites to try to make a good impression, not to pick winners for others.
Those of you who follow my posts knows I will usually try to identify horses that are getting good odds and could have a good shot to win. I do this to identify which horse that I am willing to take a shot on to WP mostly. But on exactas, trifectas, and supers, it is important to at least think about adding more favorite types to the equation. These are the types of bets you can make a serious profit with and you do not have to wager a fortune to do so. But you will need to get an edge that most others do not believe in or even ever thought about trying. The edge I use is breeding.
I have mentioned the order of preference that I look over a racing form with. I start by scanning through every horses breeding, even the ones that look like they have poor form. This normally takes about five minutes and I do this to identify which horse(s) I want to concentrate on first when I start my serious handicapping. I then read the condition of the race, focusing mainly on the distance they are racing today. After reading the race conditions, I start eliminating horses that I feel their breeding suggest they would prefer another distance, either shorter or longer. Sometimes I am wrong and after the race, I will go back and look at the sire and broodmare sire to determine if I miss anything, for future reference. Once I have done this, it usually narrows my choices to 6-7 horses that I want to consider(12 horse fields).
I group the remaining horses in three groups: front running, slightly off the pace and late runners. I then try to determine which horse is in the best shape for this race and that does not necessary mean one that won or even ran in the money in his last. Every horse has form cycles where they peak and then not do as well, though they may still have won their last. Less than 5% of winners runs the exact same race twice in a row and that is obvious if you look at their race to race speed figures, which now supposely includes track variant. I look for horses that may have went wide in their last and lost all chance or one that looks like he got trapped on the rail and could not clear until it was too late.
Horses that has ran at least 5 times since his last three month break or rest period has a distinct advantage over a horse that is making his first start since a similar or longer break, especially if his trainer does not prepare him properly(either guess wrong to what the horse needs or simply does not know). A trainer is very important in the prepareness and conditioning of every horse and the trainers that realize this are the ones that win frequently.
Last. I go over the breeding of the last few horses I like and try to match their breeding to the distance and surface of the race. Most times, it will be one that fits better than the others. But when I find one that fits perfectly, I am usually cashing a WP ticket on that horse and will be set up for an exacta, trifecta or super where the big bucks are, if other horses I like the best also decides to try their best. It is hard but well worth the reward a majority of the time.
I am going to give you a couple of examples of how breeding works. I bet CD last Saturday and since they were having an all stakes P4 on their last four races, I put my emphasis on those four races, which turned out to be a mistake on my part. In the 4th race, I like a horse called Grade to win and I thought only one horse(Bravado) could beat him, so I boxed them in an exacta. It paid $141 on a $2 exacta. Bravado was a son of Awesome Again and his dam was a daughter of Cee's Tizzy, the sire of Tiznow. Grade was a son of Overanalyze and his broodmare sire was Grand Slam, a son of Mr Prospector son Gone West. Since Swiping Dan had ran 2nd in his first start and getting switched to a better jockey, I thought he was the one(and the crowd made him 2nd favorite) to include on my tri box, which I did. I was looking at Quality Rolls as another possible longshot to include in my super box but at the last minute decided not to bet the super(decided I was betting late P4 & P5 instead). My bets was looking very good until inside the 1/16 pole when Quality Rolls came flying out of the back of the pack and finished third, causing me a nice trifecta but because of my own reluctance, I let a $3800 super get by me. And that was not the bad one.
In the Pocahontas S(last race). both my P4 & P5 was useless. But my best pick of the day was Patrona Margarita, a grand daughter of Pulpit and broodmare sire was Naevus, a son of Mr Prospector, whose ML odds was 30-1. I like Upset Brewing and Sunny Skies the best for their class, though Kelly's Humor had beaten them both last out, though they finished up in a 14:50 for the last eighth of that stakes. But I could not leave out Primo Extremo, another daughter of Overanalyze, who I thought would be hard to run down based of 2 wins in 2 tries. I ended up boxing Patrona Margarita and Sunny Skies in my exacta, added Primo Extremo in my tri and box the super leaving Kelly's Humor off my ticket. And again it came back to bite me as Kelly's Landing came from mid pack late to nose out Sunny Skies, costing my an exacta, trifecta and super. Total payout on those three bets was over $19,000. My thought has always been to box but if I had keyed that race instead in that instance, it would have been a big benefit to me.
If I had paid more attention to these two races instead of trying to hit what I believe are gimmick bets, I probably would have came out much better than I did. Money management is an important key that you will do as a handicapper and can literally be the difference between making a little at the track or making a life changing sum. Or losing major sums.
For those of you who are non believers in breeding after their first few races, I encourage you to look up the horse Trade Storm. He raced in Dubai and owned by Darley Stables and tolled in their lowest level for 19 starts before being purchased by Qatar Racing (the second biggest owner in Dubai). He won one of their low level handicap in his 20th race and then won a G2 in his next start. The difference was Darley and his trainers was putting the horse near the lead and when Qatar Racing brought him, their trainer decided to get him to relax early and make one late run. He won later go on to run 3rd in the G1 Woodbine Turf Mile and returned the next year to win that same race before running 3rd in the 2014 G1 BC Turf Mile. His sire Trade Fair was a G3 winning sprint son of Zafonic, a G1 winning son of Gone West who won the English 2000 Guineas. His broodmare sire is Slip Anchor, a son of champion Shirley Heights and from the same broodmare sire line as Animal Kingdom, won the G1 Epsom Derby during his brief racing career. He always had the breeding but needed someone who would let him run his race instead of being forced to run a style that did not suit him. This is more common in racing all over the world than you could ever believe.
Another breeding reference that I would encourage you to look at is Ultimate Eagle. He is a son of Mizzen Mast who hails from the same line as Uncle Mo but three generations before. Mizzen Mast also had a more distance loving female family than did Uncle Mo. Ultimate Eagle's dam is Letithappencaptain who won minor stakes throughout her racing career on turf but she is a daughter of Captain Bodgit, who ran second in the G1 Ky Derby to Silver Charm as the favorite after winning the G1 Florida Derby and G1 Wood Memorial, beating Pulpit in his last two races. Ultimate Eagle began his career with three sprints on the all weather track at Hollywood Park and showed late interest though no threat to the winner in each. Sent to Del Mar and stretched out on turf for his fourth start, he was with the leader throughout tracking a fast pace and broke his maiden. Entered in an $80,000 OC in his next, he set a slow pace and wired the field, again at 1 1/16 mile turf. He was then entered in the G2 Oak Tree Derby at SA. Off at 34-1, he set a fast pace and when challenged in deep stretch, he found another gear to hang on to win at 1 1/8 mile turf. He beat a lot of top horses in this race. Entered next in the 2011 G1 Hollywood Derby at 1 1/4 miles and off at 14-1, he set a leisure pace for six furlongs and then kicked in to win while not seriously threaten. The horse that followed him all the way around was Imagining, a G1 winning son of Giant's Causeway, who did not have enough early speed to harm Ultimate Eagle. It was his fifth start before anyone finished ahead of Ultimate Eagle on turf and if you were savy enough to believe in breeding, you would had the opportunity to collect $177.60 for $16 of total bets for $2 WP on his four wins. This is a prime example of why I turn my focus to breeding and will do so for the rest of my betting days. Good Luck and have fun.
Edit: Ultimate Eagle's first crop of 2 YOs starts racing in 2018. He is a stallion that is siring in the state of California. He is a G1 winner on turf, but also won the G2 Strub S on conventional dirt. He has the bloodlines to throw speedy types who will carry their speed over a route, especially if allowed to dictate their own pace.

Betting turf races has always been my favorite type of race to bet. Breeding is a huge factor in determining the outcome of most races on grass because the thoroughbred breed actually raced only on grass in Europe(mainly England & Ireland)when it was first developed. Dirt racing was mostly developed in America but most of the original dirt horse was brought in from England.
The first horse I will mention will be Hyperion. Hyperion was a son of 1918 English TC Winner Gainsborough and his dam was Selene, a daughter of Chaucer, a son of St Simon who was considered to be his sire best broodmare sire(Selene was his best producing daughter).
Hyperion,himself can be found in the pedigrees(first four generations)of at least 2 dozen Ky. Derby winners. But he won both the Epsom Derby and St Leger after finishing a fast closing 3rd in the 2000 Guineas in 1933 and was actually a much better turf sire than a dirt sire. He is broodmare sire of Nearctic(inbred to Chaucer), who would become the sire of Northern Dancer and his 3/4 brother Icecapade. Hyperion's son Stardust is grandsire of Noholme II who was brought to US from Australia where he won the Cox Plate and would dominate American turf breeding from 5 furlongs to one & 1/4 miles for 20 years. He was the sire of No Double(mentioned in another post). Stardust was also on the female side of a horse named Joey Bob who was a grandson of Nasrullah that hated the dirt but sired many graded stakes winner on turf(usually from 1 mile and up).
Northern Dancer needs no introduction because of what his best sons have done on turf(mostly in Europe up to one & 1/2 miles). But if you were to look at what his best sons have done on dirt in the U.S., you will find that their best distance is 1 1/8 mile and under(much like Mr Prospector). He does have a few sons in Canada that won at 1 & 1/4 mile but usually in races restricted to Canadian Bred horses(Queen's Plate, etc). Even his son Deputy Minister found 1 & 1/4 miles beyond his capabilities but he would go on to sire several that had no problem with that distance (especially with fillies like Open Mind). Some of Northern Dancer's sons you should keep in mind when betting turf races include Nijinsky II(distance on turf(1 & 1/2 mile)but sprinting on dirt(no farther than 1 1/16 mile), El Gran Senor(turf distance only), The Minstrel(turf distance only), Danzig(both turf and dirt, especially sprinting but occasionally distance), Sadler's Wells(the premier distance turf sire in the world today and has sired a few dirt distance runners from limited opportunities). His son Galileo is sire of Frankel and has being the leading sire in Europe almost every year since his sire's death.
Icecapade also was known for siring many speedy types who on dirt often faded but on turf sired many that would keep on going up to a mile & 1/8. The best of his sons was Clever Trick, whose foals liked dirt but especially became extremely tough to run down on turf. His two best dirt sons were Phone Trick(10 starts 10 wins, all in California up to 7 furlongs)who never ran on turf but sired several foals who loved sprinting on turf. His other son, Favorite Trick, was an unbeaten 2 YO champion in the U.S. and early book favorite(and beaten favorite)for the Ky Derby who found the distance a little to far for his liking.
Another son of Nearctic called Explodent was a major producer of turf runners from 5 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles and if you let one of his foals set a leisure pace, then 1 1/4 mile was within reach. Explodent also got some good dirt runners but their limit was usually around 1 1/16 mile. His dam was from the sire line of Dr Fager and the female sire line of In Reality.
No Double was champion handicap dirt horse in the U.S. in 1969 & 1970. But most of his foals hated the dirt with a passion but would almost always wake up when put on turf. Noholme II was similar but he did have several sons that love sprinting on dirt and were very tough to catch including Shecky Greene(also known for siring very fast turf sprinters). Joey Bob's foals also often woke up when placed on the turf but none more shocking than Skiskabob who upset the then G2 Louisiana Downs Hcp at 1 3/8 miles at odds of more than 80-1. Skiskabob would also later run 2nd in the G3 Ark-La-Tex Hcp on dirt at 70-1 behind longshot winner Inevitable Leader(from the Halo sire line)at 106-1.
Princequillo is another sire line you do not want to forget about whether it is turf or dirt, especially in distance races. He is sire of Round Table(son Poker was BM sire of Seattle Slew), Speak John (sire of Spend A Buck), etc and was broodmare sire of Secretariat, Sham, Sir Gaylord(Secretariat's 1/2 brother), Kris S(broodmare sire of Zenyatta), and many, many more.
Roberto is another horse whose foals excel both on dirt or turf, especially in distance racing. Dynaformer(sire of Barbaro), Kris S(sire of Arch, BM sire of Zenyatta), Brian's Time, Sunshine Forever(U.S. distance turf champion)and many, many more.
Also every region has one or two sires that seems to breed horses that excel more in that region that all others. For example, for years, In Excess dominated California racing up to 1 1/8 mile on both surfaces but more so on turf. If you enjoy playing that region, you may want to keep your eyes open for Candy Ride's foals as they will more than likely upset quite a few of races(especially turf up to 1 1/8 mile)before all is said and done. Another sire you may want to keep your eyes open for is Uncle Mo as his pedigree says his foals will love the turf.

The dosage profile most handicappers wants to follow today is severely flawed. It is that way because since the original chef-de-race sires were released, there may have been a dozen added from more than 500,000 possibilities, and this includes Mr Prospector and Alydar. Since a profile must have a fairly equal balance of sprinters to distance horse to come close to be accurate, anyone can see the problem.
I researched the triple crown races from the 1960 to current and there have been 22 horses that have not qualified based on the 4.00 DI and 1.25 CD theory. 10 of those occurred in the Preakness which technically the DI should be on the high side and even slightly over, 5 in the Belmont and 7 in the Ky Derby, including the last 3 derby winners. The system has been broken 15 times since 1990, giving further evidence is it due more to updates than any other factor. Before then, it was broken 7 times including 5 times in the Preakness, twice in the Belmont and none in the Ky Derby. A few of these races were not really eligible for the system due to the natural of the tracks, which stipulates for fast tracks only.
Starting in 1960, Greek Money was the first to break the dosage in the 1962 Preakness. Information on him is limited but it looks like the Preakness Stakes was his longest win but also he won mostly on grass. His grand sire was Hyperion who was better known as a grass sire but is in the pedigree of at least a dozen Ky Derby winners. His broodmare sire was Nimbus, a son of Nearco, who won the English 2000 Guineas and Epsom Derby on grass. However, he sired little as a stallion and should not have been a chef-de-race. But his dam comes from an important dam line and while fillies are not considered in dosage, she probably is the most likely reason Greek Money broke the dosage.
Damascus was the second to break dosage and he did so in both the 1967 Preakness and Belmont Stakes. He also would later win the Travers Stakes at 1 1/4 miles and the Jockey Club Gold Cup, ran then at 2 miles against older horses. just to mention a couple of races. His sire, Sword Dancer, also won the Belmont Stakes, Travers, and Jockey Club Gold Cup as a 3 YO among his many wins and was one of the stoutest bred horse you will ever see. He also sired many with distance capabilities and though he was a better turf sire, there is not one good reason he would not sire a distance loving son. Then add Phalaris, Selene, and Blue Larkspur, all three 5x4 inbred into Damascus, and you have the making of a distance loving horse. Phalaris, back then, is what Nearco is today and actually is the sire line of Nearco and many more. Selene was St Simon's best producing grand daughter whose two full brothers sons in Damascus pedigree is grand sire of Tom Fool(sire of Buckpasser and Tim Tam) and great grand sire of Native Dancer. She is also the dam of Hyperion. Dosage simply missed one on this one because pedigree is definitely there.
Master Derby was next in the 1975 Preakness to break the dosage and according to dosage was the most speed oriented of them all. His sire, Dust Commander, won the 1970 Ky Derby becoming the first grand son of Bold Ruler to win the Ky Derby. His broodmare sire, Royal Coinage, was a champion 2 YO sprinter but also sired Venetian Way, who won the 1960 Ky Derby. However, this sire line was better at siring sprinters than distance type runners and since he is sire of the dam, it should have affected his pedigree pretty considerably. The 3rd dam is a daughter of Crafty Admiral, whose grand sire is sire of three Ky Derby winners and a TC winner and his broodmare sire is none other than War Admiral, also a TC winner. Since I believe the dam has the most influence in a pedigree, I have to agree that he should be over but not near as much or as speed oriented as they are saying.
Aloma's Ruler was next in the 1982 Preakness S. His sire, Iron Ruler, tried against the best throughout his career and ran 2nd four straight times in top preps for the Ky Derby before his owner decided to pass and wait for the Preakness. Since he should have needed help getting that little bit of extra distance, he was bred to a daughter of Native Charger, a G1 winning son of Native Dancer. Aloma's Ruler's second dam complete in all the big filly races of her time, though they were not graded back then, including a close 2nd in the 1 1/2 mile CCA Oaks. He should have been borderline for the distance, at worst, but dosage placed him significantly over, so I would have to disagree with this finding.
Conquistador Cielo was next in a muddy edition of the Belmont. He too had a fairly high dosage but one of the main rules of dosage is it does not consider anything but a fast dirt track. He was a son of Mr Prospector who has always been known for passing on his mud loving ability. Conquistador Cielo became Mr Prospector's first foal that ever won at 1 1/4 mile or further and the reason is in the dam family. Conquistador Cielo's broodmare sire, Bold Commander, a son of Bold Ruler, sired 1970 Ky Derby winner Dust Commander. His third dam was a daughter of Tim Tam, who was on his way to victory in the Belmont S to complete a TC sweep when he snapped his sesamoid bone a few yards from the finish and finished 2nd. Fourth Dam, Dustwhirl, is a full sister to TC winner Whirlaway and was a top producer in her own right. The Belmont was the only time Conquistador Cielo ever won at 1 1/4 miles or further, so I would have to agree with dosage on this one.
Snow Chief was next in the 1986 Preakness Stakes. Dosage said he could not successfully negotiate a 1 1/4 mile in top company and he hit that imaginary brick wall in the Ky Derby and finished 11th as the heavy favorite. He had beaten Ferdinand the only two times they met before the Ky Derby, in the Hollywood Futurity & Santa Anita Derby, but Ferdinand got the biggest prize in the Ky Derby. Snow Chief came back in The Preakness and won easily by 6 lengths. Both his sire Reflected Glory and broodmare sire Snow Sporting came from sire lines that produced many top distance runners. Apparently they did not sire enough to warrant consideration to be a chef-de-race and the dam line was slightly tilt towards speed, also. So I will be neutral on this one, but tend to agree with assessment.
Prairie Bayou was next in the 1993 Preakness. Prairie Bayou ran nothing like his sire, Little Missouri, who liked to get the lead and put others to sleep with a slow pace. His broodmare sire, Wavering Monarch, did his best running from slightly off the pace but he is the sire of Maria's Mon, who had a similar style to his sire but has sired two Ky Derby winners. However, Prairie Bayou's trainer seemed to recognized the dam is inbred to Tom Fool's two best sons, Buckpasser and Tim Tam(near TC winner) who both had a style he employed. Prairie Bayou had finished a fast closing second in the Ky Derby as the leader of that year's 3 YO crop, so the Preakness was no real surprise. Unfortunately, he broke a cannon bone in the Belmont Stakes and had to be put down. And since Wavering Monarch's dam is inbred to supreme and cluster mare La Troienne, who also is the sixth dam in the female family, I would tend to disagree with the final assessment. Just proof that dams do mean a lot to pedigrees.
Louis Quatorze is next as winner in the 1996 Preakness. His sire, Sovereign Dancer, is a son of Northern Dancer whose dam, Bold Princess, is a daughter of Bold Ruler. Sovereign Dancer is bred throughout his pedigree with racing royalty but did not display that on the track or at breeding, other than being sire of Gate Dancer. Louis Quatorze's broodmare sire, On To Glory, was a half brother to Ruffian, and showed promise but ended up being an average sire and runner at best in the end. His daughter, On To Royalty, was by far his best running foal and producer, so she definitely had influence in the way Louis Quatorze ran. But I will agree with dosage assessment, his speed should have been a little high.
Real Quiet is next as winner of the 1998 Ky Derby and Preakness and just missed winning a triple crown. Real Quiet's sire was Quiet American, a son of Fappiano, who was a late developing runner who stunned the bettors when he came from last and easily won the G1 NYRA Mile H(now Cigar Mile H)as a 5 YO, breaking the track record in the process. Quiet American's broodmare sire, Dr Fager, owns the world record for a mile on dirt, set while carrying 134 lbs. His 2nd dam Quiet Charm, is also 2nd dam of Dare And Go, the horse responsible for snapping Cigar's 16 race winning streak. Real Quiet's broodmare sire is Believe It, third in the Ky Derby and Preakness to Affirmed and Alydar. But where he really picks up class and distance capabilities starts at his 2nd dam, Meadow Blue, a full sister to near TC winner Majestic Prince. His 4th dam, Your Hostess, is a full sister to Your Host, who is best known as sire of 5 Time US Champion Kelso. So I absolutely totally disagree with dosage and its profiling on this one. This one and the next one I will list convinced me the dosage system was flawed and if I wanted to use breeding, I would have to research it myself. It took me a while to figure out how, but that is what I now require before betting.
Charismatic won the 1999 Ky Derby and Preakness and he is another one whose TC was denied due to injury after seemingly home free. Charismatic's sire Summer Squall, is a 1/2 to A.P. Indy and ran 2nd in the 1990 Ky Derby to Unbridled before winning the Preakness, beating that same rival. Charismatic's broodmare sire, Drone, won all 4 of his starts before being injured and retired. Drone's sire, Sir Gaylord, was a 1/2 brother to Secretariat and his best son, Sir Ivor, was a champion in Europe and bred on the same line as Drone. With sires of Foolish Pleasure and Native Dancer in the dam line, along with being inbred 5x5 to Mahmoud, Charismatic's pedigree was screaming for more distance, definitely not less. Simply cannot fathom why dosage says he is over on dosage and would prefer lesser distance.
Commendable won the 2000 Belmont Stakes by setting a slow pace and then having just enough left to hold off Ky Derby 2nd Aptitude. Commendable's sire Gone West, was a high class runner whose best distances top out at 1 1/16 miles, but he ran against the best of his year which included Alysheba, Bet Twice, Lost Code, Gulch and Cryptoclearance. He was best known for siring sprinters but occasionally could sire a decent distance turf horse. His bloodlines hinted that he should be able to, too. Commendable's broodmare sire, In Reality, also was best known for sprinters to mid distances horse. However, Commendable's dam, Brought Twice, is a 1/2 sister to Fappiano and they hail from Cequillo dam line, a daughter of Princequillo out of Boldness by Mahmoud. Despite the presence of Cequillo, I feel Commendable pedigree was tilted a little too much towards speed, so I would have to agree with dosage assessment.
Sarava won the 2002 Belmont Stakes as the longest long shot in Belmont Stakes history at 70-1. Sarava's sire Wild Again won the inaugural running of the BC Classic beating Slew O' Gold and Gate Dancer after a three way battle between these for the length of the stretch. However, Wild Again, like most of his foals, seem to enjoy going 1 1/8 miles much more than the classic distance, with the exception of Milwaukee Brew. Sarava's broodmare sire, Deputy Minister, was Canada's 2 YO champion mostly because of his sprinting abilities and he continued to prove he was better at sprinting through his career. Deputy Minister did sire a couple of fillies who were U.S. champions and loved to run but for the most part, his foals loved mid distances the best. Sarava dam family is full of sprint type mares. So I will have to agree with this assessment based on dosage.
Giacomo pulled off a huge upset in the 2005 Ky Derby. Giacomo's sire, Holy Bull, won 13 of 16 lifetime starts but only one at 1 1/4 miles and that being the Travers Stakes. He was the beaten favorite in the Ky Derby when he stumbled at the start. He never lost when he broke first but also never hit the board when he didn't. Holy Bull had two separate influences of major distance sire of Mahmoud, the first his son The Axe II and second Grey Dawn II, a son of his daughter Polomia. Giacomo's broodmare sire, Stop The Music, is one of many from the Hail To Reason sire line but was unfortunate to be born the same year as Secretariat. Stop The Music was award the win in the Champagne Stakes after Secretariat tried to savage him as he was going by, one of only 2 losses for Secretariat as a 2 YO. Stop The Music's best son, Temperence Hill upset Genuine Risk in the Belmont Stakes at odds of 53.40-1. Since he crosses with Prince Bio, a close relative of Princequillo, on the dam side, I would think he would be under on dosage. But he is also one the pedigree experts can not be faulted for missing. Prince Bio was to Europe what Princequillo was to the U.S. A Distance Loving Sire.
Mine That Bird pulled off a major upset at 50-1 in the 2009 Ky Derby on a sloppy track. Mine That Bird's sire Birdstone, won the 2004 Belmont Stakes, foiling Smarty Jones attempt at a TC at odds of 36-1. Birdstone's sire Grindstone also won the Ky Derby in 1996, as did his sire Unbridled in 1990. Mine That Bird's broodmare sire is Smart Strike, the sire of both Curlin and Lookin At Lucky. While Smart Strike was a solid runner, he was even a much better sire and his line is starting to really spread out. My take on his pedigree is this is another dosage had no business missing, based on the sire records of both the sire line and broodmare sire line. Dosage is supposed to be about pedigree but when you omit two top lines, it will not be successful for too long. It was already flawed by not considering dams.
American Pharoah won the TC in 2014 as the favorite. His sire, Pioneerof The Nile ran 2nd in the 2009 Ky Derby and his sire Empire Maker ran 2nd in the 2004 Ky Derby before foiling Funny Cide's TC bid in the Belmont. American Pharoah's broodmare sire Yankee Gentleman was a minor state bred winning son of Storm Cat. However, his dam, Key Phase showed a little ability winning 5 of 6 starts, including the G1 Santa Monica at 7 furlongs. But other than that, his female family is one of the few families I have seen with no major stakes winner through five generations. So I would have to agree with dosage on this one, but actually believe his DI should be even higher. He was be beneficiary of what turned out to be a weak crop.
Nyquist won the Ky Derby in 2015 as the favorite. His sire, Uncle Mo, was a miler during his racing career but won the BC Juvenile Dirt at a 1 1/16, mostly because of his high class but also most were still developing and had yet to catch up. He was leading first crop sire, but most top out at around 1 1/16 mile, except this one. Nyquist broodmare sire, Forestry, was a son of Storm Cat whose biggest win came in the 7 furlongs G1 King's Bishop. Forestry's dam, Shared Interest won the G1 Ruffian at 5 and ran second in two more G1's. Her third dam, Sequence, is also the second dam of Mr Prospector. Most of Nyquist's dam family won a stake, but most were what look like sprints. His pedigree, top and bottom, is much better than American Pharoah, but still tilted a little too much towards speed. Nyquist breaking the dosage makes a lot more sense than the horse above does.
Always Dreaming won the 2017 Ky Derby on a sloppy track. Always Dreaming sire, Bodemeister ran second in the 2012 Ky Derby And Preakness. However, I really believe he would have been a much better horse if allowed to rate. He is bred too good to tinker with his best running style. Always Dreaming's broodmare sire In Excess is also grand sire of Uncle Mo. So I expect Always Dreaming's best distance will be around a mile, much like Uncle Mo. Always Dreaming's dam, Above Perfection, was a G3 winning sprinter that ran second in the G1 Prioress Stakes. So I agree with the assessment of dosage on this one. I believe he was more a beneficiary of a sloppy track more than talent and I believe his three races since points that out.

Nauru is a small island in the South Pacific Ocean, south of the Marshall Islands and is the world's smallest independent republic.

Understand

Although other island states may be smaller in area and/or less populous, they are all dependent territories of other countries, so Nauru keeps the title of the world's smallest independent republic.
First inhabited by Micronesians and Polynesians, Nauru was annexed by Germany in 1888. In 1900, Nauru's phosphate deposits, which occupied about 90% of the island at the time, were discovered and began to be mined under a German-British consortium. During World War I, the island was occupied by Australian forces. After the war, the island became a League of Nations joint mandate (later a United Nations trusteeship after the Japanese occupation for three years during World War II) under Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
Nauru achieved independence in 1968. In the years following independence, phosphate exports briefly gave Nauruans the highest per capita income in the world. The primary phosphate reserves were soon exhausted, crashing the local economy in the process, but in 2006–07 mining of a deeper layer of "secondary phosphate" began. As of 2016, most of Nauru's revenue came from the export of phosphate. The industry is controlled by the Nauru Phosphate Corporation (NPC). It is anticipated that the phosphate reserves will be completely exhausted before 2050. The sale of fishing licences is the other major revenue raiser. Countries such as Australia and Taiwan provide substantial development cooperation funding. Despite this, the unemployment rate currently stands at 90%, which is the highest in the world. That is not the only problem on the island, as over 95% of the population is obese and over 40% suffer from diabetes.
In 2001 the Norwegian container ship Tampa rescued several hundred asylum seekers from a sinking Indonesian vessel and attempted to deliver them to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, which is an Australian Federal Territory. In what was labelled The Pacific Solution, the Australian Government established a controversial Off Shore Processing Centre (OPC) on Nauru where these people were housed, pending assessment of their claims to be refugees. The OPC was closed in early 2008, and re-opened in 2012. The OPC still remains very controversial owing to its extremely negative human rights record. As of 2016, there are approximately 470 people - chiefly of Middle Eastern origin - held in the OPC.

Climate

The climate is tropical, with some rain occurring between November and February.

Terrain

There are a few "sandy" beaches but most of the shallow area around the island is coral reefs. Most of the interior of the island is worked-out mining land, which is to be rehabilitated.
There is a lagoon on the island, the only body of water there.

Get in

All foreign visitors require a valid passport valid for at least 3 months, a 30 day tourist visa and proof of hotel booking or local sponsor in order to enter Nauru.
Nationals of Cook Islands, Fiji, Israel, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Samoa, Solomon Islands. Taiwan, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu may obtain a free visa on arrival.
All other nationals must obtain a visa from their local Nauruan embassy before departure. There have been rumours on the Internet that you can get in for up to three days without getting a visa, but that is not accurate.

By plane

Nauru's national carrier Nauru Airlines flies to Nauru International Airport from Brisbane (Australia), Tarawa (Kiribati), Kosrae (Micronesia), Majuro (Marshall Islands), Nadi (Fiji) and Pohnpei (Micronesia). Schedules change throughout the year; further details are available from the website.

Get around

Nauru is so small that it takes less than one hour to drive right around it. The airport runway cuts across three of the twenty kilometres of road. The only traffic lights on the island are used to stop the traffic and allow the plane to cross the road to the terminal! This is a favourite souvenir snapshot taken by visitors.
Traffic drives on the left. The 19km Island Ring Road circles the island. Drivers should be on increased lookout for animals and pedestrians while driving on the beltway. There is a community bus which travels around the island every hour or so during the day. Cars or bicycles can sometimes be rented from Capelle and Partners, the largest local supermarket.

Talk

The first official language is Nauruan, a distinct Pacific Island language. Some locals speak Tuvaluan or Gilbertese which are quite common around the island since these two ethnic groups have historically worked in the Nauru mining industry.
English - the second official language - is widely understood, spoken, and used for most government and commercial purposes.

See

• Anibare Bay where there are tropical beaches
• Anibare Harbour, a 2000 project, was largely financed by the Japanese government
• The Parliament House and other Government buildings in Yaren, the unofficial capital of Nauru
• The Buada Lagoon a tropical body of water, and the only body of water on the island is a very picturesque spot in the lower middle of the island. It's a freshwater lagoon surrounded on all sides by dense palm trees and other vegetation. However the water is dirty and not suitable for swimming in. Still, a nice photo opportunity, and you can walk all the way around the lagoon as the sealed road circles it. To get there, take the road opposite the Od-N-Aiwo hotel, follow it until it branches, then go left. The road will lead you straight there.

Do

• Walk round the islands interior. Do the circuit - A sealed road goes all the way around the island so you can drive, ride or walk around an entire country! A drive takes about 25 minutes non-stop. A bicycle ride would take 2-3 hours and a walk maybe 6 hours. There is lots of nice scenery if not much to do and, going from either hotel, Chappelle & Partner department store right at the top of the island in Ewa district makes for a welcome break at halfway around.
• Explore World war relics In Yaren. Spot the remains of Japanese guns, bunkers and pillboxes left over from WW2.
• Climb Command Ridge, Nauru's highest point.
• Watch the local teams battle it out at an Australian rules football match. The national game is played all through Saturday at the Linkbelt Oval sports field.
• Fish: Head out to sea and try your luck at game fishing
• Shop at Capelle & Partner, the only department store and largest business on Nauru island.
• Swim in Anibore Harbour, which is the best bet for swimming, as most beaches are too shallow and rocky.

There is also another fast food take away at McDon's, serving Filipino dishes.

Nauru has a serious obesity problem, as will become apparent as soon as you arrive.

Stay safe

Like many other Pacific Islands, Nauru is surrounded by a shallow reef with cut-outs through the reef providing access for boats and harbours, and there can be strong currents across the shallow water, moving boats in the harbours, and dangerous marine animals on the reef floor. Ask for advice before venturing into the water.
The trafficking of drugs and narcotics of any kind will be punished severely.
Although homosexual acts in Nauru were legalised in 2016, open displays of affection between same-sex partners may offend some.
The island hosts an immigration processing center for nearby Australia as a source of income. Do not trespass on the property, and while very unlikely, watch out for possible escapees and report anything suspicious to local police.

Stay healthy

Water supply in Nauru is dependent on rainwater collected into tanks from the roofs of houses and from an ageing reverse osmosis desalination plant.

• Emergency: 112 or 110
• Nauru General Hospital: +674 555-4302

Respect

Be respectful to the native people and their environment. As the nation has one of the highest obesity rates in the world, pointing out someone's obesity will almost always be taken poorly and cause offense. Use common sense, and avoid other actions that are considered rude internationally. Be respectful of the wildlife and nature, and remember that it has all been there long before any humans.
The island nation allows freedom of religion, but most of the island practices Christianity, so be respectful of any and all religious practices. While the constitution allows any religion to be practiced, religious practices under the Church of Latter Day Saints and the Jehovah's Witnesses have been limited.
