Podcast appearances and mentions of Laurel Park

Join us on Saturday, June 21 as we take a ride across the country and back. We begin on the East coast with a pair of turf sprint races, one at Aqueduct in New York and the other at Laurel Park in Maryland. The grade 3 Ohio Derby is on our radar as three-year old males run at their share of $500,000. We go West to Los Alamitos for the Betrando Stakes and finish at Churchill Downs with the Chicago Stakes. Back a horse and get paid!!!

This is the summer when old Pimlico is scheduled to be torn down with a new racecourse grandstand being built in time for Preakness 2027. How will that concept become a reality? On this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod, new Maryland Jockey Club president and general manager Bill Knauf gets into the details as the episode's sole guest. Knauf discusses his more than quarter-century at Monmouth Park, where he worked hand in hand with a management team which brought sports betting and fixed-odds wagering to the Jersey Shore racetrack. The move of the Preakness to Laurel Park in 2026 and whether the new Pimlico will be ready in time for the 2027 renewal also comes up. The conversation covers how the new Pimlico may look and when plans may be finalized for the rebuilding of the Baltimore racetrack. Knauf offers thoughts about whether the $400 million budgeted for the project will be enough to cover the cost. Knauf also talks about the future of racing in the mid-Atlantic region, especially the relationship the new Maryland Jockey Club will have with its neighbors in Virginia. Of course any discussion of Pimlico will lead to thoughts about the spacing of the three Triple Crown races and whether it should be changed. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.

From Churchill Downs, Kentucky Derby 2025 talk intensifies on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Two-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Brad Cox discusses Grade 1 Florida Derby winner Tappan Street and Jeff Ruby Steaks (G3) victor Final Gambit, his two horses for the Derby. He also talks about undefeated Good Cheer, who will be the favorite in the Kentucky Oaks (G1). FanDuel TV's Scott Hazelton offers his early thoughts on handicapping the Derby, especially the horses he has watched in the flesh as well as Luxor Café and Admire Daytona, the two colts from Japan who he will be seeing for the first time. He also talks about Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert's return to the race that he has won six times and whether he sees a seventh trophy going back to Southern California. Horse Racing Nation's Mark Midland handicaps two Preakness qualifiers at Oaklawn and Laurel Park as well as the graded stakes Saturday at Keeneland. He also has some early thoughts about the Kentucky Derby. Co-host John Cherwa joins to field listener and reader feedback and throw his $2 worth into the Derby conversation.

A couple of episodes back, we looked at event liability insurance: why it's important that your race is covered by a robust liability insurance policy, the circumstances under which a liability policy would kick in, and what happens when it does. But there was a significant part of that discussion we only briefly touched on in that episode, and that was the importance of supporting your liability protection with the use of a liability waiver.So, what is a liability waiver? What needs to be in it? And how does a waiver protect you, the organizer, should a participant or volunteer decide to pursue legal action against you? That's what we're discussing today with my guest, industry veteran Laurel Park. Laurel is not only an experienced academic researcher in data analysis and survey design, but also an incredibly active member of our industry, having served as the President of the Ann Arbor Track Club and a long-time contributor to Road Race Management. During her work, Laurel has developed a keen interest and expertise in liability waivers for races and with her help we'll take a look at what waivers can and cannot protect you against, the different aspects involved in drafting a solid liability waiver, and how waivers work alongside your liability insurance policy to deter and defend against frivolous litigation directed against you and your company.In this episode:Waivers: your first line of defenseWaivers in contract law Participant waivers vs volunteer waiversUnderstanding and laying out your event's "inherent risks"Waivers for minors and kids runsThe legal enforceability (or un-enforceability) of waiversOrdinary negligence vs gross negligenceWaivers and insurance: one or the other, or both?Using waivers to support insurance claimsAre online waiver signatures as good as paper waiver signatures?The pros and cons of using waiver templatesMany thanks to our podcast sponsors, RunSignup and Brooksee, for supporting our efforts to provide great, free content to the race director community:RunSignup are the leading all-in-one technology solution for endurance and fundraising events.

Some early handicapping tips for Kentucky Derby 2024, an insider's look at one of the contenders in the race and some handicapping for this weekend's Preakness 2024 qualifiers are front and center on this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod. National Horseplayers Championship winner Mike Gillum checks in from Indianapolis with his five horses whom he counts among the most likely winners of the Derby. Here is a hint. Two of them are not obvious choices. In other words, long shots. Trainer Whit Beckman talks about Honor Marie, his first Derby horse in his name. He also remembers when he was an assistant on the teams that Todd Pletcher and Chad Brown led to past Derby accomplishments as Super Saver's 2010 win and Good Magic's 2018 runner-up result. He also discusses who may ride Honor Marie on May 4 at Churchill Downs. Mark Midland is in the handicappers rotation to offer his tips on the Federico Tesio at Laurel Park, a Pick 3 that starts with the Bathhouse Row at Oaklawn and the Illinois Derby at Hawthorne. The three stakes are win-and-you're-ins for the Preakness. John Cherwa joins Ron to dissect the court ruling in favor of Churchill Downs Inc. in the Zedan Racing Stables' lawsuit that failed for now to get Arkansas Derby (G1) winner Muth and trainer Bob Baffert into next month's Kentucky Derby. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com. This week's episode is sponsored by Xpressbet. For information on Sunday's Illinois Derby day handicapping contest, go to xpressbet.com/tournaments.

Most races only come around once a year. So when you're working to improve a race for your participants, you've got precious few opportunities to receive feedback from them. How do you use those opportunities right? And what feedback should you look to gather from them?Well, my guest today, Laurel Park, has the unique privilege of being both a race director and a PhD in survey design, and has helped countless organizations develop effective surveys that leverage customer feedback to inform strategic decisions. As the President of the Ann Arbor Track Club, Laurel knows running and races inside out, and today she'll help us understand how to craft an actionable race survey, how to maximize survey response rates, and how to avoid some of the common pitfalls of survey design, like asking things you shouldn't care to know about or asking things you do care to know about in a way that delivers poor quality or unusable results.If you do send out a race survey after your event, or have thought of doing so, this is an excellent crash course in getting the most of the one shot you get each year to gather productive feedback from your participants.In this episode:The purpose of a race surveyWorking backwards from what you need to know to what you're going to askCollecting demographic information from respondentsDo people respond truthfully to surveys?Reducing survey friction and question bloatAvoiding distractions/cognitive load with clean survey stylingTypes of questions to ask and areas to explore with your race surveyAvoiding leading respondents with biased question phrasingUsing open-ended vs close-ended questionsBest practices for sharing your race surveyIncreasing survey response rates with incentivesSurvey software options for designing your race surveyAnalyzing and presenting survey resultsMany thanks to our podcast sponsors, RunSignup and Racecheck, for supporting our efforts to provide great, free content to the race director community:RunSignup are the leading all-in-one technology solution for endurance and fundraising events.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del lunes 31 de octubre de 2022: - Las agencias de seguridad de EEUU han emitido un aviso de amenaza intensificada, advirtiendo sobre posibles ataques contra candidatos políticos, funcionarios electorales y otros. La alerta llegó el viernes, el mismo día en que el esposo de la presidenta de la Cámara de Representantes, Nancy Pelosi, fue atacado en su casa de San Francisco. Un boletín fue emitido por el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, el FBI, el Centro Nacional de Contraterrorismo y la Policía del Capitolio de EEUU. Los ataques realizados por actores solitarios representan la amenaza más plausible para los objetivos potenciales, advirtió el boletín. El riesgo de violencia es alimentado por un aumento en el extremismo violento doméstico y quienes llevan a cabo los ataques probablemente lo hagan por razones ideológicas. Es probable que la mayoría de las personas citen las elecciones presidenciales de 2020, repitiendo la narrativa falsa de que los resultados fueron sesgados y que el expresidente Donald Trump fue el ganador legítimo, según la advertencia. Desde 2021, las percepciones de una elección fraudulenta han contribuido a varios ataques o complots violentos y el boletín agregó que han estado surgiendo nuevas teorías de fraude que socavan las elecciones intermedias. El aviso decía que el mes pasado, se identificó a extremistas violentos domésticos que afirmaban que el sistema electoral estaba "bajo ataque" y amenazaban con violencia contra los políticos. A menos de dos semanas del día de las elecciones, el presidente Biden pidió el viernes a las figuras políticas que rechacen "clara e inequívocamente" la violencia política y calificó el ataque a Pelosi de "despreciable". FUENTE: WBUR, NPR Por cuarto año consecutivo se llevará a cabo la celebración del Día de muertos con la instalación de la Ofrenda Anual de la Comunidad de Holyoke desde este lunes 31 de octubre hasta el miércoles 2 de noviembre, en Laurel Park, ubicado entre las calles Laurel y Willow, en Holyoke.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 30, 2022 is: commemorate • kuh-MEM-uh-rayt • verb To commemorate something is to call it to remembrance or mark it by some ceremony or observation. Plaques and monuments can commemorate a person or event by serving as memorials. // A plaque commemorates the ceremony that took place here 50 years ago. See the entry > Examples: "Set to be unveiled this fall in the West End's Laurel Park, the bronze statue and plaza will commemorate the life and legacy of Cincinnati's world heavyweight boxing champion, Ezzard Charles." — Sharon Coolidge, The Cincinnati Enquirer, 20 Apr. 2022 Did you know? When you remember something, you are mindful of it. It's appropriate, therefore, that commemorate and other related memory-associated words (including memorable, memorial, remember, and memory itself) come from the Latin root memor, meaning "mindful." English speakers have been marking the memory of important events with commemorate since the late 16th century.

Jason looks back at the racing from the weekend including stakes events from Keeneland, Aqueduct, Oaklawn, and Laurel Park.

Cincinnati Parks Foundation Director Jennifer Hafner Spieser​​​​​​​ spends a lot of time in Cincinnati Parks. It is her job after all.  The foundation she runs is basically the unsung hero of the city park system, ranked the 8th-best urban park system in the country by the Trust for Public Land. Spieser talked to The Enquirer's "That's So Cincinnati" podcast this week to detail the foundation's newest projects, a new litter clean-up program and she urged people to go to Ault Park and Mount Echo Park to see the cherry blossom trees, which are blooming now for seven weeks. Ault Park alone has 1,000 cherry blossom trees. Statue of Ezzard Charles Set to be unveiled this fall in the West End's Laurel Park, the bronze statue and plaza will commemorate the life and legacy of Cincinnati's World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Ezzard Charles. It's meant to celebrate not just Charles' boxing legacy, but also how he was an ambassador for the community, Spieser said. "He was bilingual. He was a veteran jazz musician, and would take an ice cream cart around the neighborhood on hot summer days," Spieser said. "So for us at the Foundation, we recognized immediately that it was definitely more than a piece of public art, although we're quite proud of that. It incorporated revitalization of the park." The project also has running routes that mimic some of the running routes Charles' used to when he was training to fight Rocky Marciano. "Rocky was running in Central Park, and so as Ezzard Charles took to the Cincinnati Hills and was running throughout Cincinnati," Spieser said.
