Sun. Misc.

Would it be a natural for the stud farms to advertise re getting new owners in the sport. What about an add that an $11,000 sales yearling won the 2011 Jockey Club Gold Cup
(and a $10,000+ yearling won the Arc)?

In the "they're back" category, last eve I have the coincidence that a ray of sunlight was directly shining on some of those wild flowers some refer to as weeds which I deliberately let grow. I'd noticed one year that we were without insects. Hard to find bees, wasps or butterflies on the farm. Last eve I looked at those white flowers thinking were are the bees? Unable to see any. Then I stuck my head in that small little patch of flowers much closer and there were at least 10 bees buzzing around in there.

Is there a God? Here's an interesting take:

"The remote God of the philosophers...becomes intolerable. Many Jews can no longer subscribe to the biblical idea of God who manifests himself in history, who they say with Wiesel, died in Auschwitz. The idea of a personal God, like one of us writ large, is fraught with difficulty. If this God is omnipotent, he could have prevented the Holocaust. If he was unable to stop it, he is impotent and useless; if he could have stopped it and chose not to, he is a monster."

Training:
9/30 and 10/1 were about 10 min riderless with some spurts + 4 times trot-gallop up and down hill. Instead of taking advantage of the "go foward" point we took two steps back, but set up for significant galloping this eve.
