    • Midnight Martini (Yaupon) wasn't the quickest from the gate but found her feet within a few strides and was intent on the lead, rushing up from the middle of the line to set the fractions in this turf debut. Hounded early by Sugar Doll (Into Mischief), this 9-1 shot had to work to put that rival away into the far turn as the half went in :43.82. With a safe enough margin built up, Midnight Martini was able to kick away for home without fear of the closers, crossing the line two lengths in front of Horsing Around (Practical Joke). A $350,000 OBS April grad from her sire's first crop, the winner is out of a half-sister to GSW Strait From Texas (Judge T C), a mare who was picked up by Japan's Katsumi Yoshida for $450,000 at Keeneland November back in 2005. Tex Appeal, now with a perfect six-for-six strike rate of winners from runners, has already produced this winner's half-sister Gastown (Vancouver {Aus}), SP, $241,850. She has a 2-year-old Colonel Liam colt and went to Cogburn for this season.   10th-Gulfstream, $76,600, Msw, 1-30, 3yo, f, 5fT, :55.95, fm, 2 lengths. MIDNIGHT MARTINI (f, 3, Yaupon–Tex Appeal, by Successful Appeal) Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. O-Blue Crevalle Racing and Torie Gladwell; B-Southern Wives Partners (FL); T-Mark E. Casse.

    • No, "as the sunset goes down" is generally not considered a true oxymoron.  While it might feel redundant, an oxymoron specifically requires the combination of two contradictory or opposite terms (e.g., "deafening silence," "bittersweet").  Here is why "as the sunset goes down" does not fit: Definition of Sunset: The phrase "set" in sunset already implies the sun is moving downward toward the horizon. Redundancy vs. Contradiction: Saying the sunset "goes down" is a redundancy (using more words than necessary) or a descriptive phrase. It is not a contradiction because "down" is exactly where the sun goes during a "set."  When would it be an oxymoron? If you said "the rising sunset" or "the sunset went up," those would be oxymorons, as they pair contradictory ideas (rising/setting or up/down).   (ends)    As ever!!! isn't the key! that if you have a relationship with the Industry, then how can you get some fun and excitement along the way!  ps,  the Two Industries that come with the most Propaganda! Racing and Real-estate!
