Home Sports Betting Horse Racing Maximum Security Returns to Racing at Del Mar's San Diego Handicap
Maximum Security Returns to Racing at Del Mar's San Diego Handicap
By Brian Robin on July 4, 2020 2 min read
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert answered the question racing fans asked throughout the spring when he announced Maximum Security returns to action July 18 at Del Mar.
Maximum Security hasn't raced since winning the $20 million Saudi Cup in late February. The 4-year-old standout colt returns to action July 18 at Del Mar. (Image: Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia)
Baffert told the Daily Racing Form 2019's Champion 3-year-old male will run the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap. The 1 1/16-mile race serves as a prep for Del Mar's signature race: the Grade 1 Pacific Classic. That 1 ¼-mile race is Aug. 22 and sits as Maximum Security's likely next target.
Maximum Security will work out at Santa Anita Park this weekend as Baffert eases him back into form. The San Diego Handicap marks not only Maximum Security's first race since he won the $20 million Saudi Cup Feb. 29, but since owners Gary and Mary West moved him to Baffert's barn. That came in early March, after federal agents arrested and indicted Maximum Security's former trainer – Jason Servis — for acquiring and using performance-enhancing drugs on his horses.
In April, Servis entered a not guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to commit drug adulteration and misbranding on his horses.
Saudi Cup Purse Remains Frozen
As a result, Maximum Security's career earnings remain in flux. Counting the $10 million from his Saudi Cup victory, he banked nearly $12 million in earnings. But in mid-April, the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia froze the purse from that race pending its own investigation in the wake of Servis' arrest. That investigation remains active.
That was the latest adventure surrounding one of the best horses in the world. The Saudi Cup victory gave Maximum Security his fourth consecutive victory and eighth in 10 starts. He won three consecutive races opening 2019, including the Florida Derby, and closed the year with three more wins, including the Grade 1 Haskell and Grade 1 Cigar Mile.
In between, however, Maximum Security secured immortality and notoriety when he was disqualified for interference in the Kentucky Derby. That cost him another Grade 1 win, when stewards dropped him from first to 17th. Officially, that remains the only time in 10 races Maximum Security failed to hit the board.
King for a Day Becomes Trivia Answer
Six weeks later, Maximum Security finished second as the 1/9 favorite behind aptly named King for a Day in the Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park. King for a Day – who entered that race coming off a minor stakes win on the Preakness undercard — remains the only horse to beat Maximum Security across a finish line in his career.
Yet Maximum Security still registered a 100 Beyer Speed Figure in defeat. His 102 in the Haskell a month later gave him five triple-digit Beyers in a row. His 111 Beyer winning December's Cigar Mile remains his career best.
Once Maximum Security's racing career ends, the Coolmore Farms breeding shed awaits. He's already signed and sealed to start his stud career there.

Just a couple of days ago I finally finished the second book of the still quite new "Star Trek: Seekers" series. If you haven't heard of it yet, Seekers is the successor to "Star Trek: Vanguard" which was set during the Original Series era and told the story of the Federation's efforts in the so-called Taurus Reach centred around Starbase 47. The series has so far been written by David Mack, Dayton Ward, and Kevin Dilmore.
Seekers now focuses on what happened after Vanguard to the two ships originally assigned to Starbase 47: The Endeavour and the Sagittarius, exploring strange new worlds within the Taurus Reach. From what it looks like after the first two books, the story might end being a continuous one, which I always loved about the Vanguard series. The first two books even started off with a cross-reference to one of the mystery from that era: The Preservers.
Compared to something like the Destiny series, Seekers is definitely more trigger-happy, bringing it more in line with the Enterprise than Vanguard did. Sadly, compared to Vanguard, I don't really like the characters as much. At least they haven't yet been made as memorable as their "predecessors" on Starbase 47.
I liked the story enough to continue following it, but I really hope the authors up the quality here instead of jumping from one contrived plot point to the other.

Q: How to replace a loading image in a chat with an image uploaded to Firebase Storage using ReactJS? I have built a chat using Firebase and ReactJS. I mainly followed their Firebase's web codelab at https://firebase.google.com/codelabs/firebase-web#1. However, I have gotten stuck on the image uploading functionality. Since I am using ReactJS, I have had to modify their plain JS code to match mine. I am able to save a message with a "loading" image url in Firestore, then, I successfully save the image that I want to ultimately show in the chat in Firebase Storage, and finally then I successfully retrieve its url from Storage and replace it with the url of the loading image in Firestore. The image does show in the chat, however, the loading image is not actually replaced but, instead, it remains in the chat when I want it to be completely replaced, obviously, so that the loading image is no longer there. Here's what I mean, in this image:

As you can see the loading image on top stayed on instead of being replaced by the image underneath it. I think it should be filtered out somehow before I save the new snapshot with the new image url. However, I can not figure out how to do it correctly. I tried to filter it out based on the url of the loading image which is saved locally but since it is saved as a base64 in Storage, it did not work. Neither did using the actual Base64 code as a way to filter it out. So, I need help to solve this issue. The codelab does not really specify this nor is it clear how they do it in their code which is in plain Javascript anyways and I use ReactJS so it may not be 100% suitable.
Here's, I believe, enough code to see what is going on. Let me know if you need more of it.
Here's how I send images to the Chat: (modeled on the Firebase codelab)
sendImageToChat () {

        this.state.chatFiles.forEach((file) => {
            firebase.firestore().collection('Chats')
            .doc(this.state.uid)
            .collection('Messages')
            .add({
                docId: this.state.docId,
                imageUrl: loadingLogo,
                timestamp: new Date(),
                uid: this.state.uid,
                name: this.state.displayName,
                email: this.state.email
                })
                .catch((error) => {
                this.setState({ writeError: error.message });
            })

            .then((messageRef) => {

                // 2 - Upload the image to Cloud Storage.
                const filePath = `users/${this.state.displayName}/${this.state.uid}/${moment().format("MMM Do YY")}/${uuidv4()}/${file.name}`

                return firebase.storage().ref(filePath).put(file).then((fileSnapshot) => {
                  // 3 - Generate a public URL for the file.
                  return fileSnapshot.ref.getDownloadURL().then((url) => {
                    // 4 - Update the chat message placeholder with the image's URL.
                    return messageRef.update({
                      imageUrl: url,
                      storageUri: fileSnapshot.metadata.fullPath
                    });
                  });
                });
              }).catch(function(error) {
                console.error('There was an error uploading a file to Cloud Storage:', error);
              });
        })

        this.setState({
            chatFiles: []
        })
        document.getElementById('file-1').value = "";

     }

Here's how I, then, setState when the loading image is added and then when its url is modified: (Notice how I try to filter out the loadingLogo which is the loading image out of the state but it does not obviously work for the reason explained above).
startChat () {

    document.getElementById("myForm").style.display = "block";

        const ref = firebase.firestore().collection('Chats').doc(this.state.uid).collection('Messages');

        const query = ref.orderBy('timestamp', 'desc').limit(10)

        this.unsubFromMessages = query.onSnapshot((snapshot) => {

                            if (snapshot.empty) {

                                console.log('No matching documents.');

                                firebase.firestore().collection('Chats').doc(this.state.uid).
                                set({
                                    name: this.state.displayName,
                                    uid: this.state.uid,
                                    email: this.state.email
                                }).then(console.log("info saved"))
                                .catch((error) => {
                                    console.log("Error saving info to document: ", error);
                                });
                            }

                                snapshot.docChanges().reverse().forEach((change) => {

                                if (change.type === 'removed') {

                                console.log(change.doc.data().content)

                                } else if (change.type === 'added') {

                                  this.setState(state => {
                                    const messages = [...state.messages, {id: change.doc.id, body: change.doc.data()}]
                                    return {
                                        messages
                                    }

                                })

                                setTimeout( this.scrollToBottom(), 2000)

                                } else if (change.type === 'modified') {

                                    const filteredMessages = this.state.messages.filter(message => message.imageUrl !== loadingLogo)

                                    console.log(filteredMessages)

                                    this.setState(state => {
                                      const messages = [...filteredMessages, {id: change.doc.id, body: change.doc.data()}]
                                      return {
                                          messages
                                      }

                                  })

                                  setTimeout( this.scrollToBottom(), 2000)

                                  }

                                });
                                }, (error) => {console.log(error)});

    }

This is part of the Chat's JSX:

                            {

                                this.state.messages.map((message, index) => {
                                return message.body.uid === this.state.uid
                                ?

                                {
                                message.body.imageUrl ?

                                :

{message.body.content}

                                }

                                :

{message.body.content}

                                })

                            }

 { this.myRef = el; }}>

I know the issue is not with Firebase but rather with ReactJS. I know I need to remove, filter out, replace or delete that loading image before or after the modified message with the new url is saved to the state. So, please help me figure this out. I am sure many people may encounter this problem.
Thank you!

A: I figured it out. I might as well delete this question but it may help someone build a chat with ReactJS and Firebase. Anyways, my approach to filter out based on the object property, imageUrl is a viable option. It works! My silly oversight was that I did not add the parent property or object, "body", after the object "message". More specifically, instead of const filteredMessages = this.state.messages.filter(message => message.imageUrl !== loadingLogo), it should be const filteredMessages = this.state.messages.filter(message => message.body.imageUrl !== loadingLogo). You can also try to add an object property that you can use to filter out messages with, for example, allowed: yes or no. If you need more clarification, just ask me, I am glad to help. Happy coding!

Simmba song Aankh Marey releases today on December 6 - here's why this date has a special significance
Updated Dec 06, 2018 | 10:15 IST | Gaurang Chauhan
Simmba song Aankh Marey will be out in an hour. The song is a recreated version of Tere Mere Sapne song of the same name ft Arshad Warsi. Here is the reason the song is being released on December 6...
Here's why Simmba song Aankh Marey is releasing on Dec 6
After releasing an explosive trailer on Monday, makers of Simmba starring Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan are all set to unveil their first song from the film titled Aankh Marey, a recreated version of hit chartbuster of the 90s. For those unaware, the original song is from 1996 hit Tere Mere Sapne, which was produced by Amitabh Bachchan and was the debut film of Arshad Warsi and Chandrachur Singh.
The original song was picturised on Arshad Warsi and the icing on the cake is that he'll make an appearance in the new version as well, along with Golmaal costars Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor and Kunal Kemmu. But, do you know why December 6 is an apt date for the makers to release the new version of the song? Well, because this day 22 years ago Tere Mere Sapne had released. Yes, it is 22 years of Tere Mere Sapne as well as original song Aankh Maare. It was on December 6, 1996, when people witnessed the hit song for the first time on the big screen. EXCLUSIVE | Check out the new still from Simmba's first song Aankh Marey ft Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan
So, it suffices that the makers decided to drop the song on the same day as a mark of tribute to the original. Another interesting aspect is that today also marks 22 years of Arshad Warsi in the Hindi film industry. The life has come a full circle for him as he started his journey with Aankh Maare and will see him shaking a leg at the same song 22 years later.
Before you watch the new version later today, check out the original song below:
Simmba release December 28.


Tonight Alyce and I made some Rice Krispie Treats. Alyce poured the cereal into the bowl and she counted out 40 big marsh mellows with Daddy's help of course. While I was melting the butter and marsh mellows Alyce was eating extra Rice Krispies one a time. When we finally got everything all put together and poured the mixture into 13X9 pan. Alyce said "woah" with a giggle as I was pouring it. Before we put Alyce to bed we gave her one of her treats and she didn't even want to try it. Crazy kids, don't know what is bad for them in a good sort of way. Eventually Mommy got her to eat part of one and of course she liked it.

`pymatch`
=====

Matching techniques for observational studies. Inspired by and adapted from Jasjeet Singh Sekhon's [Matching](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Matching/Matching.pdf) package in R. I wrote an adaptation in Python that is better suited for my work at Mozilla which incorporates:

* Integration with Jupyter Notebooks (we use Jupyter + Pyspark)
* Additional Non-Parametric Tests / Plotting Functionality to assess balance.
* A more modular, user-specified matching process

This package was used to support [this research project](https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3178876.3186162).

# Installation

Install through pip!

```bash
$ pip install pymatch
```

#

The best way to get familiar with the package is to work through an example. The example below leaves out much of the theory behind matching and focuses on the application within `pymatch`. If interested, Sekhon gives a nice overview in his [Introduction to the Matching package in R](http://sekhon.berkeley.edu/papers/MatchingJSS.pdf).

# Example

The following example demonstrates how to the use the `pymatch` package to match [Lending Club Loan Data](https://www.kaggle.com/wendykan/lending-club-loan-data). Follow the link to download the dataset from Kaggle (you'll have to create an account, it's fast and free!). You can follow along this document or download the corresponding [Example.ipynb](https://github.com/benmiroglio/pymatch/blob/master/Example.ipynb) notebook (just be sure to change the path when loading data!).

Here we match Lending Club users that fully paid off loans (control) to those that defaulted (test). The example is contrived, however a use case for this could be that we want to analyze user sentiment with the platform. Users that default on loans may have worse sentiment because they are predisposed to a bad situation--influencing their perception of the product. Before analyzing sentiment, we can match users that paid their loans in full to users that defaulted based on the characteristics we can observe. If matching is successful, we could then make a statement about the **causal effect** defaulting has on sentiment if we are confident our samples are sufficiently balanced and our model is free from omitted variable bias.

This example, however, only goes through the matching procedure, which can be broken down into the following steps:

* [Data Preparation](#data-prep)
* [Fit Propensity Score Models](#matcher)
* [Predict Propensity Scores](#predict-scores)
* [Tune Threshold](#tune-threshold)
* [Match Data](#match-data)
* [Assess Matches](#assess-matches)

----

### Data Prep

```python
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')
from pymatch.Matcher import Matcher
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

%matplotlib inline
```

Load the dataset (`loan.csv`) and select a subset of columns.

```python
path = "/Users/bmiroglio/Downloads/lending-club-loan-data/loan.csv"
fields = \
[
    "loan_amnt",
    "funded_amnt",
    "funded_amnt_inv",
    "term",
    "int_rate",
    "installment",
    "grade",
    "sub_grade",
    "loan_status"
]

data = pd.read_csv(path)[fields]
```

Create test and control groups and reassign `loan_status` to be a binary treatment indicator. This is our reponse in the logistic regression model(s) used to generate propensity scores.

```python
test = data[data.loan_status == "Default"]
control = data[data.loan_status == "Fully Paid"]
test['loan_status'] = 1
control['loan_status'] = 0
```

----

### `Matcher`

Initialize the `Matcher` object.

**Note that:**

* Upon initialization, `Matcher` prints the formula used to fit logistic regression model(s) and the number of records in the majority/minority class.
    * The regression model(s) are used to generate propensity scores. In this case, we are using the covariates on the right side of the equation to estimate the probability of defaulting on a loan (`loan_status`= 1).
* `Matcher` will use all covariates in the dataset unless a formula is specified by the user. Note that this step is only fitting model(s), we assign propensity scores later.
* Any covariates passed to the (optional) `exclude` parameter will be ignored from the model fitting process. This parameter is particularly useful for unique identifiers like a `user_id`.

```python
m = Matcher(test, control, yvar="loan_status", exclude=[])
```

    Formula:
    loan_status ~ loan_amnt+funded_amnt+funded_amnt_inv+term+int_rate+installment+grade+sub_grade
    n majority: 207723
    n minority: 1219

There is a significant **Class Imbalance** in our data--the majority group (fully-paid loans) having many more records than the minority group (defaulted loans). We account for this by setting `balance=True` when calling `Matcher.fit_scores()` below. This tells `Matcher` to sample from the majority group when fitting the logistic regression model(s) so that the groups are of equal size. When undersampling this way, it is highly recommended that `nmodels` is explicitly assigned to a integer much larger than 1. This ensures that more of the majority group is contributing to the generation of propensity scores. The value of this integer should depend on the severity of the imbalance: here we use `nmodels`=100.

```python
# for reproducibility
np.random.seed(20170925)

m.fit_scores(balance=True, nmodels=100)
```

    Fitting 100 Models on Balanced Samples...
    Average Accuracy: 70.21%

The average accuracy of our 100 models is 70.21%, suggesting that there's separability within our data and justifiying the need for the matching procedure. It's worth noting that we don't pay much attention to these logistic models since we are using them as a feature extraction tool (generation of propensity scores). The accuracy is a good way to detect separability at a glance, but we shouldn't spend time tuning and tinkering with these models. If our accuracy was close to 50%, that would suggest we cannot detect much separability in our groups given the features we observe and that matching is probably not necessary (or more features should be included if possible).

### Predict Scores

```python
m.predict_scores()
```

```python
m.plot_scores()
```

![png](Example_files/Example_15_0.png)

The plot above demonstrates the separability present in our data. Test profiles have a much higher **propensity**, or estimated probability of defaulting given the features we isolated in the data.

---

### Tune Threshold

The `Matcher.match()` method matches profiles that have propensity scores within some threshold.

i.e. for two scores `s1` and `s2`, `|s1 - s2|` <= `threshold`

By default matches are found *from* the majority group *for* the minority group. For example, if our test group contains 1,000 records and our control group contains 20,000, `Matcher` will
    iterate through the test (minority) group and find suitable matches from the control (majority) group. If a record in the minority group has no suitable matches, it is dropped from the final matched dataset. We need to ensure our threshold is small enough such that we get close matches and retain most (or all) of our data in the minority group.

Below we tune the threshold using `method="random"`. This matches a random profile that is within the threshold
as there could be many. This is much faster than the alternative method "min", which finds the *closest* match for every minority record.

```python
m.tune_threshold(method='random')
```

![png](Example_files/Example_19_0.png)

It looks like a threshold of 0.0001 retains 100% of our data. Let's proceed with matching using this threshold.

---

### Match Data

Below we match one record from the majority group to each record in the minority group. This is done **with** replacement, meaning a single majority record can be matched to multiple minority records. `Matcher` assigns a unique `record_id` to each record in the test and control groups so this can be addressed after matching. If subsequent modeling is planned, one might consider weighting models using a weight vector of 1/`f` for each record, `f` being a record's frequency in the matched dataset. Thankfully `Matcher` can handle all of this for you :).

```python
m.match(method="min", nmatches=1, threshold=0.0001)
```

```python
m.record_frequency()
```

      freq
      n_records

      0
      1
      2264

      1
      2
      68

      2
      3
      10

      3
      4
      2

It looks like the bulk of our matched-majority-group records occur only once, 68 occur twice, ... etc. We can preemptively generate a weight vector using `Matcher.assign_weight_vector()`

```python
m.assign_weight_vector()
```

Let's take a look at our matched data thus far. Note that in addition to the weight vector, `Matcher` has also assigned a `match_id` to each record indicating our (in this cased) *paired* matches since we use `nmatches=1`. We can verify that matched records have `scores` within 0.0001 of each other.

```python
m.matched_data.sort_values("match_id").head(6)

### Assess Matches

We must now determine if our data is "balanced" across our covariates. Can we detect any statistical differences between the covariates of our matched test and control groups? `Matcher` is configured to treat categorical and continuous variables separately in this assessment.

___categorical___

For categorical variables, we look at plots comparing the proportional differences between test and control before and after matching.

For example, the first plot shows:

* `prop_test` - `prop_control` for all possible `term` values, `prop_test` and `prop_control` being the proportion of test and control records with a given term value, respectively. We want these (orange) bars to be small after matching.
* Results (pvalue) of a Chi-Square Test for Independence before and after matching. After matching we want this pvalue to be > 0.05, resulting in our failure to reject the null hypothesis that the frequency of the enumerated term values are independent of our test and control groups.

```python
categorical_results = m.compare_categorical(return_table=True)
```

![png](Example_files/Example_32_0.png)

![png](Example_files/Example_32_1.png)

![png](Example_files/Example_32_2.png)

```python
categorical_results
```

      var
      before
      after

      0
      term
      0.0
      0.433155

      1
      grade
      0.0
      0.532530

      2
      sub_grade
      0.0
      0.986986

Looking at the plots and test results, we did a pretty good job balancing our categorical features! The p-values from the Chi-Square tests are all > 0.05 and we can verify by observing the small proportional differences in the plots.

___Continuous___

For continous variables we look at Empirical Cumulative Distribution Functions (ECDF) for our test and control groups  before and after matching.

For example, the first plot pair shows:

* ECDF for test vs ECDF for control **before** matching (left), ECDF for test vs ECDF for control **after** matching (right). We want the two lines to be very close to each other (or indistiguishable) after matching.
* Some tests + metrics are included in the chart titles.
    * Tests performed:
        * Kolmogorov-Smirnov Goodness of fit Test (KS-test)
            This test statistic is calculated on 1000
            permuted samples of the data, generating
            an imperical p-value.  See `pymatch.functions.ks_boot()`
            This is an adaptation of the [`ks.boot()`](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/Matching/versions/4.9-2/topics/ks.boot) method in
            the R "Matching" package
        * Chi-Square Distance:
            Similarly this distance metric is calculated on
            1000 permuted samples.
            See `pymatch.functions.grouped_permutation_test()`

    * Other included Stats:
        * Standarized mean and median differences.
             How many standard deviations away are the mean/median
            between our groups before and after matching
            i.e. `abs(mean(control) - mean(test))` / `std(control.union(test))`

```python
cc = m.compare_continuous(return_table=True)
```

      0.042140
      0.157699
      0.014590

We want the pvalues from both the KS-test and the grouped permutation of the Chi-Square distance after matching to be > 0.05, and they all are! We can verify by looking at how close the ECDFs are between test and control.

# Conclusion

We saw a very "clean" result from the above procedure, achieving balance among all the covariates. In my work at Mozilla, we see much hairier results using the same procedure, which will likely be your experience too. In the case that certain covariates are not well balanced, one might consider tinkering with the parameters of the matching process (`nmatches`>1) or adding more covariates to the formula specified when we initialized the `Matcher` object.
In any case, in subsequent modeling, you can always control for variables that you haven't deemed "balanced".

By: Racing and Sports Time published 2020-10-21 at 09:24 PM (GMT +11:00)
Bloodstock & Airfreight Sales Representative (New Zealand Bloodstock).
Kane Jones. Picture: NZB
Name: Kane Jones
Current Job Title: Bloodstock & Airfreight Sales Representative (New Zealand Bloodstock)
How did you get into the industry?
My parents have always had a small number of racehorses and broodmares at home. I began helping Dad on the farm and at the track from a young age and my passion blossomed from there. Once I experienced the thrill of punting and racehorse ownership, I was really hooked.
What was your first job in racing? I was lucky enough to work at Cambridge Stud in the broodmare division during my mid-year university holiday. I returned in the summer and worked a full yearling prep and National Yearling Sale at Karaka. It was definitely an eye-opener and a wonderful experience.
First racing memory?
Sunline's 2000 Cox Plate. I remember being blown away by her bold, front-running style. She's a classic example of the tough and talented horse New Zealand can produce and she really put the Aussie's to the sword that day. It's a race that still gives me goosebumps.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career?
My Father helped nurture my love of horses and racing from an early age. He taught me the basics around animal husbandry and how to look at a horse as an athlete. Because of that, we have a very similar eye, which makes it easy when I'm trying to buy him one. More recently, it has definitely been Danny Rolston. He's excellent at what he does and has a wealth of experience and knowledge. He's a great role model and someone I really admire. Both professionally and personally, he's someone I'm always learning from.
If there was one thing you could change about racing / bloodstock in Australia, what would it be and why?
I'm New Zealand based, so that's where I'll comment on. It's not necessarily a change but I'd really like to see more unity within our industry, particularly around what the future looks like. We are currently going through an important and very necessary period of transformation and we will see the greatest benefit if we are all united. We are part of a fantastic industry with so many opportunities but it will only thrive if we're all paddling in the same direction.
What can racing do to attract more people?
Today, there is so much competition for people's time and the entertainment dollar, it's about providing an experience that people want and need to attend. We've seen marquee events like the Karaka Million Twilight Meeting and The Championships prove extremely popular. These events are a real spectacle and offer something for everybody, including fashion, music and of course, the thrill of racing. These are the race days that attract new participants and it's then a matter of converting that interest into a deeper involvement. It's vital that we get young people engaging with our fantastic sport, having an enjoyable experience and going away to tell their friends. We hope they will go on to become lifelong followers and participants through attendance, betting and even ownership or working in racing. Engaging audiences at an early stage is crucial for the long term future of racing.
If you didn't work in racing, what would you be doing?
I have a real passion for art but have no artistic talent, so maybe working in a gallery or as an art dealer. I also have an interest in finance, so possibly something in that field. In saying that, I'm very happy with what I'm doing now.
Favourite racehorse of all time?
That's a really tough one but I can't go past Winx. Her ability to consistently perform at the elite level, over a sustained period of time was phenomenal. I was lucky enough to be on course for her third and fourth Cox Plate's and the atmosphere was electric, like nothing I've ever experienced. What she did for racing cannot be underestimated.
Do you think COVID will have an affect on the industry and if so what will it be?
There's no doubt that our industry, along with many others, will be affected by Covid. In saying that, we have already seen some fantastic innovations in technology and marketing and it's really exciting to see where that can go. It's a challenging time for everybody but that presents us with a real opportunity to explore and improve efficiency within our operations, embrace new innovations and develop and strengthen relationships. We are all part of an incredible and very resilient industry and I really believe we'll be in great shape once we get out the other side.

I have been a bad blogger. Nay an almost non-existent-blog-posts blogger. A combination of exams, moving flats and holidaying completely distracted me but things are almost back to normal now and I have a fair few holiday snaps to share with you. So we'll pop back to the beginning of April, to when I should have posted this, and act like the three months in-between were a lot busier than they perhaps were!
When Kate from CoffeeSugarLemonade text me a few months ago and told me about this event I got myself on the list as quickly as I could then looked forward to it all during lent!
A group of us bloggers all got together on a dreary morning in Hackney and proceeded to learn about, make and most importantly, eat lots of chocolate. MyChocolate was set up 12 years ago by the inspiring Hannah Saxton and has since gone from strength to strength.
We started by tasting a few different types of chocolate, from the very pure expensive kind to, what our instructor Davis described as, 'advent calendar chocolate'... We also tried some lemon and poppy seed chocolate and dark chocolate flavoured with cardamom.
Davis started to loose our attention somewhat though when bowls full of delicious looking and smelling melted chocolate were bought over to our tables.
Kate and I then worked as a chocolate dream team until she got chocolate all over herself and the girl behind her when things declined into fits of giggles! Thankfully Davis was on hand for top tips for getting chocolate out of your clothes. (Dab at it with hot water and a tea towel FYI).
After we pulled ourselves together the bowls of milk chocolate arrived and the decorating commenced. We armed ourselves with chopped nuts, coconut, cocoa powder, transfer sheets and chocolate shards and got to work.
The chocolates I didn't eat as I was decorating them got popped into a little gift box and wrapped ready to eat on the bus take home.
I had such a brilliant morning and it was a complete joy to meet Elle, Fran, Leanne, Ashleigh, Amanda and Hayley who were on the same table as me and Kate and massive thank you to Lauren for organising such a fun event.
Hannah now also has a secondary company, The Chocolate Hedgehog, where you can buy a kit to host your own chocolate filled party. However if you're looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to have a mess around with word on the chocolate covered street is that Sainsbury's Basics is the way to go for a cheap but good quality alternative. So cover your kitchen in baking parchment and get making!


If you're looking for an update on industry trends or simply need some quick, actionable tips to help you improve your performance as a recruiter, we've got you covered with the most popular blog posts among our readers in July.
In this month's top post, hiring experts share what interview questions you can ask in order to uncover job candidates' hidden abilities. This includes questions like, "Do you find people often compliment you on skills that seem easy?" and "Are there any activities you've performed at work that make you lose track of time?" The answers to these questions will help you get a greater sense of candidates' natural strengths and where they will excel if hired.
Sure, it's always fun to take a break to play ping-pong or grab some snacks from the office kitchen. But, according to new LinkedIn data, that's actually not what employees care about most when they are choosing a new employer (or deciding if they want to stay at their current company). In fact, according to our recent survey of over 3,000 U.S. professionals, it turns out employees really care about more meaningful benefits, such as healthcare, paid time off, and more.
Not only is Magic Johnson one of the most successful basketball players ever, he also has some sound advice for anyone trying to woo a candidate. For example, Magic helped recruit LeBron James to the Lakers through a relationship-based process where he learned what Lebron was looking for in a team and then explained how he would get just that (and advance his career with the Lakers). In this post, recruiting expert Lou Adler explains how he uses this same tactic and customizes his pitch to each candidate's interests and goals.
With unemployment in the U.S. at its lowest rate in years and the skills gap continuing to widen, many industries are going to experience a severe talent shortage by 2030. If you're curious which industries will be affected most (and want to double-check how yours is expected to fare), this article reveals the three sectors that'll be hardest hit. We've also included tips for how you can combat this challenge.
Last but not least, talent leader Jordan Burton offers three interview questions you should make sure to avoid if you want to hire the best candidate. For example, if you've ever asked someone, "Tell me about yourself," then this article is for you because it likely won't help you find the best candidate for your open role. In the article, Jordan explains why this is the case and also offers useful tips for what to ask instead, such as more open-ended questions that can get more authentic responses.


The Jet 100 treadmill scores very highly in our recent review. Today we take a closer look at another of the Jet range, this time the Jet 100 cross trainer to see how it compares to others in its class such as the ZR8 and ZR10.
The package arrived in a suitable time and was able to move the box into my spare room with little effort for two of us. I would still recommend having this item delivered as it weighs about 60kg's in its box.
Just to give you an idea of how good this machine is, whenever I look at a mid-range cross trainer I always think of the Reebok ZR8 as a comparison. It's what I consider the benchmark of a quality cross trainer and this is for good reason which are noted below.
Delivery was quick and a new feature for my local department store was I got to choose my delivery slot, #win!
The Reebok GT60 is one of their top of the line models, equipped with all the latest bells and whistles. The big question is paying the extra really worth it?
This was delivered 24 hours after ordering from a large retail chain, for a large bulky item such as a treadmill that is exceptionally quick. Lucky two men turned up in the lorry as the Reebok GT60 is one of the largest and heaviest treadmills I have ever tested.
If you are looking for a compact, budget yet stylish treadmill, the Reebok GT30 could be the perfect choice for you. With solid build quality and stylish looks it's really hard to find any faults with this entry level running machine.
A great machine for new and experienced runners alike. It has a hefty RRP of £899, we run it through its paces to see if it really deserves its place in the almighty premium £1000+ category.
This treadmill at the time of writing was full price from my local retailer. They have been known to go on special offer on occasions, but this is rare when compared to how often sales occur on other brands such as Reebok or NordicTrack.
Sitting firmly in the middle of the Reebok range of treadmills is the Reebok ZR7. Boasting 32 user programmes and a motor with a continuous 1.5hp motor it seems the ideal choice for a home treadmill. We put it through its paces to see how it compares to its bigger brothers we have tested, the ZR8 and ZR10.
This is a very well made, solid and sturdy treadmill worthy of gym status, smooth to operate and a quiet, comfortable running machine. I found it very easy to build with clear instructions and has the ZigTech cushioned running deck to help alleviate the aches, pains and strains of a workout.
Whether you choose the programmes set out for you or you choose to programme your own the choice is up to you. The variations in speed and incline will certainly keep you on your toes and together with a cooling fan and your iPod or MP3 player to keep you company your workout should be a doddle!
Can the Reebok Jet 100 exercise bike score as highly as its treadmill counterpart? With features galore and an almost identical LCD unit at the Jet 100 cross trainer, it already looks like a promising setup.
Introduced early in 2011 the Z9 was a classic Reebok running machine that excelled in many areas and it was the first choice for many home gyms. Now in 2016 Reebok have released the ZR9 that promises to bring the same high quality of the Z10 but with some fresh updated features.
Sitting firmly in the premium category of cross trainers is the GX40s from Reebok. Equipped with all of the latest technical updates from Reebok how does it compare to previous versions?
As a review was required at short notice I had to collect my Reebok GX40s from a local fitness retailer at the full RRP. If you can avoid collection I would due to its weight being around 57kg's when boxed. That's almost at heavy as some treadmills!
In our opinion this cross trainer sits in the sweet spot of price vs performance. It boasts a beautiful blue LCD screen, 32 levels of resistance and a full 15" stride length. We would advise this is a perfect choice if you are thinking of buying a cross trainer for the first time.
Can the latest Reebok GB40s exercise bike compete with the others in its category? With a RRP of £499 we have high expectations.
Ordered and delivered next day from a local well known retailer, a nice start. I had to ask for a hand from my partner to help me move it from the hallway into the spare room as it weighs around 35kg's in its box.

Klopp: Liverpool Will Press When Opposing Teams Play Football
The Liverpool manager reacts to his side's modest position on Opta's list of Premier League club's pressing rates.

So, the fancy numbers came out revealing that Liverpool are not the high-pressing juggernauts they were last season. Jürgen Klopp appears to have pulled back on the reigns a bit, given his team are joint ninth with Leicester City and Arsenal in pressing rates.
But the manager has reacted to his side's position on the list by saying he's done no such thing. Klopp explains that Liverpool reducing pressure on the opposition this season is down to opposing teams shutting up shop when playing the Reds.
"It's more the case that usually against us teams don't play," said Klopp.
"They over-play our pressing with long balls, which makes sense. In a lot of games our counter-press has been really good which is much more important in terms of losing the ball and winning it back.
"In terms of high pressure, it depends on the style of play of the other team. You can't do it if they don't play. It's not that we don't want to do it any more. If they play then we should be there."
Opposing teams are trying to suss out ways to stop Liverpool's all-action style of football. Klopp is up against parked buses far more than he would like but his tactics have had to change in order to keep his team sharp to defensive teams looking for counter-attacks and launching midfield-bypassing balls over the top.
"You always have to adapt. Now we have to be focused much more on winning second balls. It's not that they shoot a lot of long balls but they chip it over the lines.
"If we have a high formation most of the time then you need to adjust for these situations - coming from all angles and being there to support each other.
"That's how it's changed. It's not been a proper plan to sit back a little bit, but we did it after being 1-0 or 2-0 up in games.
"We did sit back a bit to not give space away - that's true. It's a question of maturity and that's make absolute sense.
"With the number of games we have, it's not about chasing a game always like crazy, you have to be smart. We try to be that without killing our nature."

Well, being an e-book ghostwriter has its USA and downs. But by and large, being an Internet primarily based ebook ghostwriter has special diversifications and perambulations. It may be a form of website stream, basing your whole ebook ghostwriting enterprise on the World Wide Web (WWW) and the Internet, which is currently primarily based in Switzerland halfway internationally from in which I am, within the Pacific Northwest United States. Soon, I understand, we are able to need to start picking up at the Internet (or whatever it will likely be called) coming from a great deal toward us, in Japan. We are on the West Coast of us, so Japan's Internet or WWW might be plenty in the direction of us if I'm no longer sadly flawed.
I consider when they have their community up and jogging, it might be doing the right aspect for me to buy either a Toshiba or an Apple (our nearby Pacific NW agency, based totally in Seattle and our Silicon Valley) MacBook or Macintosh pocketbook of some kind. I decide on working with notebook computers, no longer handhelds. I'm in my 50s and using tiny little machines isn't always my fashion. Like James Michener, who used a guide typewriter to work on all of his books, up until his 90s, I opt to use anything I can take care of. But in contrast to him, I can use handhelds and clever cellular telephones for sure tasks. Just not to compose or edit ebook manuscripts or writing and editing initiatives. I always opt for using a desktop, and I still have a recent Hewlett Packard I will in all likelihood preserve on the usage of, as well as my HP pocketbook, up till once I pass ahead and purchase a brand new Toshiba or Apple, or doubtlessly a Dell or different American based totally gadget.
When I call myself "e-book ghostwriter on Google," I am relating to my search engine optimization, which presently entails collecting up backlinks and social network listings and hyperlinks again to my important enterprise internet site – which I now have numerous thousand backlinks coming from related sites pointing to it, including the ones on China's large search engine, Baidu. I am listed first (in English, now not necessarily in Chinese) below book ghostwriter and ebook ghost creator. I discover that tremendous, however, have now not gotten lots of commercial enterprise from the English speaker writers and customers of China, or whoever it's miles who use Baidu. Not but.
I am very on the pinnacle of a few search keywords on MSN and Yahoo, and I used to have dozens of wonderful #1 to #three standings on Google underneath scads and scads of key phrases. But when you consider that I streamlined things and made numerous internet site revisions, consisting of hiring a person to take over and work on and build our new website, and some rebranding issues, and now not jogging the whole lot myself… I lost quite a few my standings on Google. The Penguin Panda updates revised the whole thing, and I misplaced maximum of my keyword standings, which I am slowly reassembling over time. Since I am nearing retirement age, it's far completely as much as me to decide whether or not or no longer to war difficult sufficient to regain my keywords listing, and be up high sufficient (first page results, #1 to #five and no in addition down the lists) to rate enough clients coming in to maintain my enterprise.
All in all, my social network contacts, other methods of finding enterprise such as word of mouth circulating from prior customers and social networks again, and many others. Are supporting me some distance extra than mere search engine listings, even the ones on Google, the number one seek engine at the face of the planet. Well, Baidu will count on extra importance over the years, because the Japanese Internet (anything it is going to be known as) assumes extra prominence. Whether or not it will take over from the European Internet-based totally in Switzerland, I do no longer realize.
Nobody knows about this intensive just but. I am thinking, it is going to be wiser for me here in Washington State to jump at the Japanese Net as quickly because it turns into necessary for me to do so. I use Comcast cable services wherein I stay, and at work too, and it is a great, running relaxed carrier with terrific uptime. I use a good enough anti-virus, and even Neo-Nazis have not been capable of sluggish me down. I have no issues with interruptions in a provider, in any respect. Every such trouble, which includes an occasional virus, Trojan or heuristics issues, I even have the wanted gadget to tackle, I even have the entirety sponsored up, and so on. I use flash drives, external drives, the Internet free backup offerings, more copies of all my work… The opportunities for protection are limitless. I actually have 3 specific firewalls going for walks on my primary machines. More protection than Fort Knox, the Mafia, Russia, whoever hasn't been capable of crack my gadget.
So… I'm nevertheless an e-book ghostwriter on Google. Back whilst my enterprise turned into walking properly, my website had a topmost net worth of $50,000+ USD. It gradually, due to the Google Penguin Panda stuff problems and refiguring, went all the way down to $35,000. And because of my streamlining matters and recreating my website schemas, it subsequently dropped down all the manner to best $five,000 or less in worth. Over time, due to my coming returned up to snuff, the use of the phrase of mouth, website revisions, linking revisions, and social community strategies regarding more listings and getting my personal books posted and out, after years of now not having any of my personal published books to be had… Our fundamental business website is now up to a fee of $10,000 for the URL alone.
Strategically, that makes more sense than it has been really worth even $35,000 before. The internet site is slowly going obsolete on the Internet as a chief commercial enterprise approach, being replaced by using social networks and commercial enterprise websites that list your business in place of your need to run a website or websites. I used to have a dozen connected websites; now I simplest have 3. Two of them are my main enterprise websites, one a regular WordPress site and the other a weblog web page on WordPress as well. I omit to have overall managed, but it's miles running for my and the commercial enterprise. Which entails sending e-book and different ghostwriting and modifying work out to diverse human beings on my list. I started out in 2003 as a simple book ghostwriter on Google, and I branched out from there to over 5,000 human beings I can now contact and provide work assignments to, who pay me 15% out of whatever they make. I'm no millionaire, however, am currently creating an at ease residing.
Hi, I'm Karen S. Cole, a bestselling ebook ghostwriter on Google, MSN, Yahoo, Baidu and lots of other search engines like Google, in addition to on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn (I have certainly one of the most important business networks there, inside the pinnacle five% in terms of basic length, nearly nine,000 legitimate business network contacts)… My Facebook crowd is massive, so is my Google+ community, and my Twitter network is over 27,000 humans strong.
