How To Navigate Emerging Trends in Thoroughbred Pedigree Analysis I'm going to explain how to navigate emerging trends in thoroughbred pedigree analysis. Understanding these trends can help you make more informed decisions, which can enhance breeding choices, improve racing strategies and maximize financial returns from sales. It's about making strategic moves based on proven pedigree successes and patterns observed across racing histories. Unfortunately, many fail to keep up with these trends. Rapid Evolution of Racing Techniques and Statistics Now, let's explore other reasons people struggle to make actionable progress: Reason #1: Lack of Specialized Knowledge Many in the industry lack the deep historical knowledge required to analyze trends effectively, limiting their ability to make strategic decisions. Reason #2: Difficulty in Accessing Comprehensive Records Not everyone has access to complete and updated databases of race records and pedigree histories, which can make trend analysis challenging. Reason #3: Inconsistent Application of Trends Some may understand the trends but fail to consistently apply this knowledge to make decisions in breeding and racing, leading to missed opportunities. Reason #4: Overreliance on Traditional Methods There is often a resistance to shift from traditional, anecdotal decision-making towards data-driven strategies based on emerging trends. But don't worry, I'm going to explain how you can overcome all these problems! Here's how, step by step: Step 1: Engage with Industry Literature and Seminars Begin by immersing yourself in the latest industry publications and seminars. This step is essential as it helps keep you updated without getting directly involved in the complexities of data analysis. For instance, understanding shifts in racing styles or preferences in breeding can inform smarter, trend-based decisions. Step 2: Adopt Technology for Accessing Records Utilize online databases and software that provide access to extensive racing and breeding records. Many go wrong by relying solely on personal contacts or limited databases. More comprehensive tools allow you to see broader patterns and make connections that aren't immediately obvious. Step 3: Regularly Review and Adjust Strategies Make it a routine to review the outcomes of races and breeding decisions in light of current trends. This ongoing process is key to adapting and refining your strategies effectively. It ensures that your actions are always aligned with the most current successful practices in the industry. By following these steps, you'll be able to stay ahead in the dynamic field of thoroughbred racing and breeding, leveraging trends to secure the best outcomes for your investments.

So I have watched every Indycat street race because I prefer Indycar to NASCAR sndI still think that if you watch NBC coverage of NASCAR race then n Chicago and you watch races in Long Beach, St Pete, Toronto, and Nashville you’ll realize that the pictures from Indy street races are subpar. People will say this is a diss. It is not. Many cities open up their streets to racing, but the pictures are not epic. Chicago is weird as a city because what it has is public parkland and an epic skyline. @lorilightfoot you have been correct that we have something worthwhile. We have to realize that Chicago ratings are driven not just by residents but by ex-pats who are compelled by the pictures from Grant Park. We need a charm campaign using our assets to show others that we are real people. We have problems. But, Chicagoan’s at their heart care about others and want to make this city better. Not in a political sense but a real human sense. We need to show that’s who we are. We won’t let children go into the criminal justice system for life for being angry or hopeless after Covid. We are a city that created tough laws after extreme fires to stop extreme fires. We can stop extreme behavior, we just have to be a city of understanding, compassion, and practicality as we have been. We have to understand are children are angry that covid may have cost their hopes are dreams. We can be a City that chooses to give them new directions and new hopes. W don’t have to repeat past mistakes. We can choose to all be better.

Great to see one of our CleanEvent Services Ltd team using the iMops in live action at Aintree Racecourse during the November Racing meet which includes 6000+ INVADES Student Guests!! ❓️Will this process keep the floor mid event in a pristine condition.... sadly no, there are too many variables and constraints for that. ❔️Does this process take less time then manual mopping and remove significantly more liquid/moisture from the ground, markedly reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls.... yes it does, and that's a win on our racecard today. Cleaning at Events is about making sure we can deliver optimum results within the space we are in, taking into account the environment and all other factors which impact our ability to service those spaces. #cleaningservices #horseracing #INVADES #safetyfirst #innovation

https://lnkd.in/esc3vA5c The results of a recent Nc Department Of Commerce study uncovered significant economic impacts generated by the 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. According to the study, the event: ·     Created 625 jobs for North Carolinians ·     Increased the value of the statewide economy by $42.4 million ·     Increased statewide labor income by $27.9 million ·     Led to over $20 million in direct construction and infrastructure investment in Wilkes County ·     Generated nearly $29 million in visitor spending The 2023 All Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway brought about substantial economic growth to our state, showcasing the immense potential of motorsports in driving economic prosperity. Of particular interest to my work in tourism, survey results showed Race attendees: ·      spent $28.9 million on food, accommodation, travel, etc. and 41% of attendees were from outside of North Carolina (only 12% of total attendees were from Wilkes County.)  ·      attended from as far away as California, Washington state, Canada and New Zealand.  ·      36% stayed in North Carolina at least two nights and 25% stayed at least four nights ·      attended 2.3 other NASCAR events over All-Star Race weekend, in addition to the main All-Star Race I want to thank our elected leaders, Representative Jeffrey Elmore and Senator Settle Eddie whose unwavering support and dedication made this study possible. Their commitment to understanding and harnessing the economic benefits of events like the NASCAR All-Star Race is commendable and underscores their vision for a thriving North Carolina. Also, Speedway Motorsports and our local governments and community partners for creating a seamless experience from start to finish. This study serves as a testament to the power of collaboration between government, private industry, and community stakeholders in fostering economic development and prosperity. It's inspiring to see how initiatives like these can not only elevate our state's profile but also create tangible opportunities for businesses and communities across North Carolina. Let's continue to build on this momentum and explore new avenues for economic growth and prosperity. Together, we can drive North Carolina forward and unlock its full potential as a powerhouse for innovation, opportunity, and prosperity. #NASCAR #EconomicImpact #NorthCarolina #Collaboration #Community #Leadership
