18WT 053: 
HORSE RACING - Medina Spirit Stripped of 2021 Kentucky Derby Win.  Medina Spirit is no longer the winner of the 2021 Kentucky Derby. The colt, who died unexpectedly in December, was officially disqualified by Kentucky racing officials on Monday for failing a drug test after winning the race.

  Medina Spirit is only the third horse in the race’s 147-year history to receive such a penalty after finishing first. The decision means the colt’s owner will not collect the $1.8 million first-place check, which was never paid out and will now go to Mandaloun’s owner. 

Churchill Downs, the track in Louisville, Ky., that hosts the Derby, said in a statement that it now recognizes Mandaloun as the winner of the 2021 race.

The ruling also erased the Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert’s seventh Kentucky Derby victory, which had been a record.

In addition, Baffert was suspended for 90 days beginning March 8 and fined $7,500. 

The drug found in Medina Spirit’s system was betamethasone, a corticosteroid injected into joints to reduce pain and swelling. Baffert said the drug was applied topically to treat a skin rash on Medina Spirit’s hind end.

The disqualification puts a new stain on a sport that has been troubled by doping problems and places Baffert’s reputation and future in the sport in jeopardy. Baffert, whose horses won the Triple Crown in 2015 and 2018, is thoroughbred horse racing’s most recognizable personality.

The decision by Kentucky racing officials comes at a time when the Triple Crown season is heating up and the quest for qualifying points to earn a spot in the Derby’s starting gate is getting urgent. Churchill Downs had already suspended Baffert from the race for two years and refused to award qualifying points to horses he would train for the 2022 Derby.

Baffert has three accomplished 3-year-old colts in his barn — two of them, Corniche and Newgrange, are undefeated. If their owners want to participate in the Derby, they must transfer their horses to another trainer and hope to earn qualifying points in future prep races.

Last month, Baffert threatened to sue Churchill Downs if the track did not lift the two-year ban, saying that his right to due process was violated and that he had been unlawfully excluded from Churchill Downs and the Derby.

Bill Carstanjen, the chief executive of Churchill Downs, said the complaint was “meritless.” He threatened to countersue if...

18WT 051:  On this episode we talk about Spring, after all it was the first day of Spring.  We also talked about Slang in America. You know those words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people.

SLANG IN AMERICA

20% of Americans admit to using slang in every conversation.  50% of Americans use slang terms without knowing what they mean.  The most well-known slang words and phrases in America are “ghosted,” “salty,” and “on point.”  58% of Americans don’t know what the ‘Rona’ means.  66% of parents are annoyed by slang, compared to 46% of people without children.  46% of Americans think it’s appropriate to use slang in a professional setting and 42% would use it in front of their boss.

How do you refer to those people, things, and experiences that are amazing or awesome? Are they cool? Perhaps they’re rad? In the 1980s, you might have called them bad. Today, for example, you might refer to your perfect curls as on fleek.  What do all these interesting words have in common? They’re all slang words. If you’re a kid, we’ll bet you use plenty of slang words. But guess what? Adults use them, too.

What are slang words? Some experts define them as “deliberate alternative vocabulary that sends social signals.” Merriam-Webster says slang is “very informal nonstandard vocabulary.” Slang words say something about the attitudes of the people, groups, and subcultures that use them.  The word “slang” began as a word in northern England that was used to refer to territory or turf. Over time, it came to refer to....

18WT 050:  On this episode we decided to revisit our food for thought topic from the week  before when we had a ghost in the machine. Janet asked what is your favorite food to eat both at home or at a restaurant. We also talked about some facts that Janet found online.

These facts were taken from www.flavorproducers.com
 A Better Us
 We all strive for self improvement, so let’s start with what sustains us. From organic offerings to clean and clear labels, sustainable packaging and beyond, the food industry is adapting to consumer demand for more personalized and sustainable options.
Borderless Taste
  Taste has gotten bigger as the world has gotten smaller. Thanks to improvements in global communication along with consumers access to exotic ingredients, cooking techniques and recipes the flavors of the world are more available than ever.
A Growing Palate
  Basic taste has grown up. Flavor profiles that were once avoided or thought too niche for large brands have surprised the market and found commercial success. Taste profiles like bitter, sour and umami, that were once an afterthought, are now active discussions in new product development.

Stop smoking - no ifs, ands, or butts   and stay away from secondhand smoke.  There are many steps you can take to help protect your health and blood vessels. Avoiding tobacco is one of the best.

Slim down - If you’re carrying extra fat around your middle, it’s time to slim down.  Then stay at a healthy weight 

Have sex - having sex can be good for your heart!  lower frequency of sexual activity is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease.

Eat fiber -  a diet rich in soluble fiber can help lower your level of low-density lipoprotein, or “bad cholesterol.  salsa offers a delicious and antioxidant-rich snack. Consider mixing in a can of black beans for an added boost of heart-healthy fiber.
