    • Jockey and veterinarian Ferrin Peterson has launched her latest “The Boundless Podcast,” and her guest is Dr. Kayce Anderson, who is the daughter of WinStar Farm co-founder Bill Casner. Anderson is the executive director of the charity “For the Good.” In her bio on the organization's website, she is described as “a humanitarian, ecologist, mom, explorer, and student.” The For the Good website describes the charity's work as follows: “We work in a region of Kenya that has been labeled as 'not wanting education.' Our experience shows us the opposite: that many Maasai parents recognize the value of education and desire it for their children. We work with them to address barriers of access to affordable education, especially those experienced by girls.” During the podcast, Anderson shares how For the Good began with a simple but massive barrier: many girls miss school during puberty because they don't have access to menstrual hygiene products. What started as providing reusable sanitary pads–paired with reproductive health education–evolved into something even larger: enrolling out-of-school students (most of them girls) and partnering with Maasai communities in Narok County to build local, affordable secondary schools. You'll hear why humility matters more than “having the answers,” what it really takes to earn trust with elders and educators, and how sustainable impact is built through shared ownership–sometimes literally one goat at a time. Anderson breaks down the community-matching model that funds these schools, the patience required to work at the “pace of the earth,” and why education is both a lifeline and a tool for preserving culture and protecting land rights. This conversation is a powerful reminder that real change isn't fast, flashy, or imposed–it's relational, community-led, and built to last. To learn more or support For the Good, click here.

    • If a Chad Brown-trained 3-year-old son of Gun Runner lining up for the Risen Star Stakes (G2) feels familiar, it's for good reason. Sierra Leone took that path two years ago, and now Paladin is following suit.View the full article
    • sigh, fact, I DO make money,  (though the last two years all via Dodger$ winning two WS)  partly by having a iron discipline and avoiding  listening to all the 'hype around value'.  If you are talking betting on horses, then you  have to  have a ability to actually be betting on horses that 'run in the money'! (personally,  if I was going to have Racing a area of betting, then Laying bets looks attractive) That is So much easier when the actual runners in a race decrease! The extra CHAOS that happens in all races rather  Increases with every runner added to a field!  I recon what also happens if you regularly bet into larger fields is that it is so easy for silly 'cognitive bias's' kicking in around 'bad luck' etc..  I  'watch' multi 1000's of races where i don't bet!   For any race meeting,  the first thing I look for are the races with 10 and under starters!!! Then spend some brain power looking for the form races leading into the race!  But for me, the real key is how they Present on the Day, how they prelim,  how they look around at the start, 95% of my bets go on then! Other than say a Melb Cup,  I almost always stick to  Win bets 15% take out.  If I was needing to punt to make a living,  then I recon the Show bet is the way to go! To me that is actually the brave bet over time. The take out rates for Q and Tri etc are vulgarly large! You are welcomed  to throw money into them!  Having said that all,  'each to their own'. To finish, if you ever find yourself in Dunedin with spare time, look me up! also, my days with anything to do 'racing' is steadily counting down...
