We have full coverage of the Sovereign Awards, featuring Kevin Attard's great night, Emma-Jayne Wilson, Roger Attfield and Groom of the Year, Victor James. Two days later, it was Opening Day at Woodbine. Good thing we interviewed the new rider, Brooke Bays. Also, Pietro Moran and Michael Copeland and the first Stakes of the year, the Star Shoot. We created an award – it has no trophy and no cash value, but the MWBACITUSBODAW (Most wins by a Canadian in the U.S. by a Canadian before Opening Day at Woodbine) came down to a battle among Marty Drexler, Micah Husbands and Bruno Schickedanz. Austin Sorrie was not sorry about breaking through the $10,000,000 mark in purse earnings and Dave Palone won 9 races last Wednesday at the Meadows, but how good was he the next day? And Garnet Barnsdale tells us why he got to inform the latest harness racing entities that they are about to be inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.
Michael Copeland – AKA Fridge Man, climbed Kilimanjaro with a fridge on his back to help raise awareness of Mental Health issues…with TRE's Selina MacKenzie
The $250,000 Cup and Saucer is one of 5 Stakes from Woodbine featured this week. There were 8 $300,000 OSS Golds at Mohawk. At Ajax Downs, 2 horses dead-heated for 2nd in a Stakes event, and both were elevated to the win spot. We got Scott Zeron on the phone. This year, Zeron won the North America Cup, the Hambletonian, the Jug, the Jugette and the Kentucky Futurity. Does that make him the Dan Patch Driver of the Year? You might not have heard about Michael Copeland taking over the job as CEO of Woodbine from Jim Lawson. Lawson tells us why the transition was so quiet. We have another (yawwwwn) 5win night for James MacDonald at Mohawk, and, over the span of 3 days at Laurel Racetrack, a horse named Haint Blue ran twice – except - it was a different horse each time.
This week, we are amazed by the women in horse racing – When Arcangelo won the Belmont Stakes, Jena Antonucci became the first female trainer to win a U.S. Triple Crown race. Too bad FOX tv blundered historically with its presentation. Three women - Sofia Vives, Skye Chernetz and Emma-Jayne Wilson brought in pricey horses at Woodbine. Women trainers won 3 of 4 eliminations at Mohawk for the North America Cup and we have a $200,000 race at Northfield, Ohio won by Lauren Tritton. Melanie Pinto is featured for her 2 wins last Tuesday at Fort Erie. But there is room for men to succeed in horse racing - Jason Pascoe is crushing it at Ajax Downs and we grill Michael Copeland, the man who will replace Jim Lawson as CEO of Woodbine. And how would you have called a race in which one of the horses was named Sumomomomomomomomomo?
How did Rougir and Kazushi Kimura win the E.P. Taylor Stakes and why was Queen's Plate champion, Moira disqualified? A defeat in Kentucky for Bulldog Hanover; perhaps taking the shine off an otherwise great week for trainer Jack Darling who got into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. Darling, jockey Eurico Rosa da Silva and race caller Frank Salive talk about the honour of their inductions. Why can't we bet on horse racing at Bet365 or Fanduel or Bet MGM. Woodbine's Michael Copeland says be patient..it's going to happen. And it did happen for harness driver Gilles Barrieau – he scored his 5,000th win.
The $1Million North America Cup was part of an extraordinary night of harness racing at Mohawk Park. We have the one Stakes race from Woodbine on Sunday and Woodbine's Michael Copeland breaks downs how horse racing will be integrated into the tsunami of betting sites that have erupted in Canada. Two wins for 16 year-old Slade Jones on the weekend and he's just 16. Canadians Chantal Sutherland and Ailsa Morrison produced an incredible finish at Gulfstream and we have it. We've also got Vicki Pappas of LongRun revealing how you can come and see Pink Lloyd and many other retired thoroughbreds. If you have plans to go to Saratoga, we'll help you out - Ariane Fuller of Racing City Realty tells us why renting a house is better than staying in an overpriced motel. And why are we running all 7 races from last Wednesday's speed extravaganza at Ajax Downs? What did all the winning jockeys have in common?
For the past four months, the rate of inflation has beaten the Bank of England's 2 per cent target. Despite saying that this rise will be “transitory”, the central bank has warned inflation might soar over 4 per cent before the end of the year - meaning it could reach its highest point in a decade, and so far governor Andrew Bailey has not confirmed that rates will rise in order to tackle this.This week, senior reporter Sally Hickey speaks to Lawrence Cook, head of UK intermediary distribution at Sanlam, and Michael Copeland, senior area manager at Wesleyan, about how advisers should be planning for high inflation.They discuss whether inflation will continue to rise, how advisers should plan for it and which assets they should and shouldn't hold.The FTAdviser Podcast is the weekly podcast for financial advisers, brought to you by FTAdviser. Each week, FTAdviser is joined by guests from the industry to discuss the week in news and pressing industry issues. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Culture shock is a common occurrence with a defined process. The length of the process and the depth of the rough at the bottom of the V depends upon whether you know about it, have strategies for managing it, and are flexible.

The Provincial Government has finally relented and allowed racing to resume. Woodbine's new Chief Commercial Officer, Michael Copeland discusses that and other issues. Trevor Henry, Mark MacDonald, James MacDonald, Doug McNair and Scott Zeron continue to show our neighbours to the south how to drive standardbreds and we have an abundance of evidence. The podcast suffers when we don't run Chantal Sutherland winning, so suffice it to say, we're happy this week. It was a great Sunday at Churchill Downs for Canadian horse owners Jim and Susan Hill. American Bruce Lunsford tells the podcast why he loves racing at Woodbine and if there's a more distressing accident than the one Daryl Thiessen experienced at Century Downs, we don't want to see it.

Infrastructure. It powers everything from cities to computing, yet is sometimes considered "boring" because it is so invisible to so many of us. But as software continues to eat the world, infrastructure has come to the forefront. And some of the most exciting technology innovations are now happening at the infrastructure level: It's changing everything, observes a16z's newest general partner Martin Casado -- from how new tech is created to how new tech is sold. Casado -- one of the pioneers of "software-defined networking" -- joins this episode of the a16z Podcast with Sonal Chokshi and Michael Copeland to share his journey from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to Stanford to Nicira Networks to VMware to a16z. He also discusses the tradeoffs in theoretical v. applied computer "science", including lessons learned as a PhD and technologist who then had to run a startup through hard times. Finally, Casado shares what he thinks are the key vectors and trends in networking, what's coming next, how the "as-a-service"(ification) of infrastructure is creating entirely new patterns of buying tech, and how selling to developers is so different (hint: open source is a lot more important than you might think!).

Listen along, won't you?Fun fact: Producing a podcast can be quite costly!

Podcasts and podcasting have been around a while, but seem to be going through a renaissance of sorts -- partly enabled by connected cars and other technologies. But how do we discover podcasts; is the ideal atomic unit the show, or an individual episode/topic? What makes a good podcast? And given their intimacy, how can brands and communities engage with podcasts? We discuss this and more in this oh-so-meta episode of the a16z Podcast-about-podcasts. And to help us do that, we invited longtime podcaster and radio host Roman Mars -- of the highly regarded design show 99% Invisible -- as well as fans (and now curators of) podcasts, Ryan Hoover and Erik Torenberg of Product Hunt.
