We start with the Bull Page and Victorian Queen Stakes from Woodbine, go to Mohawk Park for the Mohawk Million, the Elegant Image, the She's a Great Lady, the Canadian Trotting Classic, the Metro Pace and another stunning win by Tattoo Artist. Two ends of the jockey spectrum -55-year-old Gary Boulanger tells us why he's retiring 36 years after his first ride and 21-year-old Sofia Vives, in her first full year of riding, gets the news from us that she will win the Sovereign as Canada's outstanding apprentice. Scott Zeron won both the Little Brown Jug and the Jugette last week in the same year that he won the NA Cup and the Hambletonian so we ask, ‘Is he the driver of the year?' A special treat for you as Tom Durkin interrupted his retirement to call a $3,000 trot at the Delaware Fair Grounds. He nailed it. We look at the contentious jockeys' race at Ajax Downs, and some schadenfreude in this podcast - pleasure at the pain of others - someone bet $40,000 to show on a sure thing in a 4-horse race at Assiniboia Downs. Wait until you hear what happened.

This podcast cover lots of ground - some of it on the turf because Woodbine ran its first grass races last Saturday. It was a big day for South African jockey Ryan Munger. It was Opening Day at Fort Erie and when a lady named Rachel Slevinsky won a race, it piqued our curiosity. Race caller Sugar Doyle had his 'A' game at Western Fair for the Forest City Pace and the Camluck Classic. Garnet Barnsdale hooked up with Chris Christoforou at the President's reception for the new inductees into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. Host Peter Gross got his idol, the legendary race caller Tom Durkin on the phone to chat about him coming out of retirement to call the Belmont Stakes. And for families that like to have all the cheques coming to the same address, we have races at Mohawk won by father Dustin and son Tyler Jones, and a heat from Australia in which the Parnham brothers ran 1-2-3-

Tom Durkin joins us to talk about the work of the Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST) - its history, its growth and its importance.

We break from our normal format to present a collection of the most amusing, goofiest and mind expanding stories of the year..things that can only happen in horse racing. Like Turf Paradise's Craig Braddick playing Torture the Track announcer, or Tampa Bay's Jason Beam and his hilarious parody of Don McLean's America Pie. There was the night that the number 5 kept winning at Mohawk and we couldn't resist when we found a horse named Horse. A race at the Meadows that paid tribute to alcoholic beverages, a heat in Alberta where the top 4 horses were all Outlaws and a race from Gulfstream where the chaotic outcome was specifically defined by the winning horse. Bill Megens is now 89, but when he trained a winner recently at Western Fair, he gave an unusual prediction of his retirement date. And there is no jockey quite like quarter horse rider Tony Phillips. To celebrate his winning year at Ajax Downs, Phillips produced a rap of his equine accomplishments. Also appearing in this podcast –Tom Durkin, George Thorogood, the Clash, Bruce Springsteen, Alanis Morissette, Fred Flintstone, the Who, the Bobby Fuller Four and Aerosmith.

On 19 July, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that Abdul Latif Nasir had been released from Guantanamo Bay back to his family in Morocco. Mr. Nasir was a detainee at Guantanamo for 19 years, during which time he was known as prisoner 244. He was never charged. In 2016, during Barack Obama's push to close Guantanamo, Abdul Latif Nasir was cleared for release by the Periodic Review Board (PRB). Six U.S. agencies assured that he was no longer a risk to U.S. security. However, his release was delayed and when Donald Trump was inaugurated into office in January 2017 it was too late. Trump's campaign promise that no more detainees would be released from Guantanamo Bay was fulfilled. But on 19 July he was released, making him the first Guantanamo detainee to be sent home in more than three years. In this episode, Al Bawaba's Nicholas Prichard speaks to two lawyers who helped to free Abdul Latif Nasir. Thomas Anthony Durkin is a defense attorney at the law firm Durkin and Roberts and teaches law at the Loyola University Chicago School of Law. He's worked to defend many notable cases to do with terrorism and Guantanamo detainees. His other guest, Bernard E. Harcourt is Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Columbia University in the City of New York. He is also a distinguished theorist, legal advocate, writer, and editor. His most recent book is Critique and Praxis. Nicholas began by asking Tom Durkin how he found out about Abdul Latif Nasir's release. The conversation then moves to the legal specifics of Abdul Latif Nasir and the other detainees in Guantanamo Bay. The conversation ends with a discussion on what this means for justice in the U.S. and the relationship between the courts and politicians.

Imagine yourself in the middle of a world-destroying catastrophe. Now imagine that we have a short quiz for you. It won’t take but a minute. The world is a dusty, dark chaos, and the trap our unreliable narrator finds himself in, gets more dire as the story goes on. Agents Angstrom and Kinski find themselves in a different kind of trap—and due to a lack of budget, and thus, vocal talent, poor Kinski doesn’t even get a speaking part. An announcement that the hit show Arena is returning to the air tonight to answer the question, “What Happens After We Die?” Then The Race is On—with apologies to George Jones, Tom Durkin, and Larry Collmus. And finally, a poem about life, the universe, and everything.A warning for the wary listener: everyone dies in this one.Words and music © 2019 by Scott Taylor Transcript at Scott Taylor's cover is blownSFX Credit Attribution:Horses Racetrack, Montevideo, Uru provided by sounddogs/ Pond5Horse Racing Crowd Cheering At End Of Flat Race provided by soundsvisual/Pond5Race Track Crowd, Gates Open provided by ProSoundEffects/Pond5Horse Race Meeting Crowd provided by jfxsound/Pond5War Drums provided by jmac713/Pond5Wind Desert Sand provided by clacksfx/Pond5Rain hitting roof provided by quietswede/Pond5

Speak to sell fitness by creating a presentation that inspires and educates. I'm not talking about your power point. The best presentations to those groups like Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, and corporations don't use power point. They use heart. I speak to sell fitness opportunity must have the emotional factor. If you don't touch emotion you won't be remembered. 40-year Fitness business owner/operator Tom Durkin is here today- not to do a book review – we'll be back with another book review soon and I'll link to a few prior episodes here. Tom has been one of the biggest influences of fitness in the state of Iowa with multiple business locations in multiple cities. Uniquely he's anything but a silent partner he's operating general manager. That means during the course of a day he'll lead management meetings, nursery meetings, hire and train personal trainers, work in the membership office, sign employees paychecks, approve ads, and make public appearances to any number of groups including the chamber of commerce, large corporations, small businesses to grow the membership and help people. He has over 300 employees and thousands of members. He speaks. He sells.   Looking back over 40 years, how valuable has public speaking been in growing your businesses and your “brand” as the fitness guy? Lot's of people get asked to speak, some get asked back, and you've been asked back many times, what do you attribute that to?  You have over 300 employees – some in the position you were in when you began – but you are asked to give the presentation. Why do you think that is? Why don't you send your employees? How would you describe the kind of presentation you give?  How do you prepare and plan? You've got to have a beginning, middle, end that includes some kind of offer and we'll talk about that separately, can you lay out how your presentation might go? Story is a huge connector and it has the ability to 1) create an emotional imprint 2) be remarkable – people will retell a story who will never retell the way to build bone density or some esoteric reasons fitness changes lives … now, you've got an advantage of 40 years of story collecting… do you remember? When you first started what stories did you tell?  How do you structure your offer at the end of a presentation? More than one trainer or owner listening may resonate with your message and still be thinking, I could never do that, come on that strong, use those words… what would you say to them? You may be thinking, I don't have 40 years to get good, collect stories, get confident… how can I get started now? The thing that stops more trainers from speaking to sell fitness is confidence. You have a message, you would like to reach more people. I've watched one trainer who trained one-on-one clients at a whisper because she lacked confidence and didn't want anyone else to hear what she was saying – go from that to loving to speak. It took a couple years… of her following up with calls to clients, doing consultations and asking for the sale. Here's the difference: confidence. Confidence comes doing things out of your comfort zone. So say you're a basketball player and you've traveled all over in college, you started, you were great at it, you always got pretty good grades, did well in most things you tried. You don't gain confidence from that. Why? Because it came easy.  In fact, if in your life most things were easy – at least doing them average was easy – you lack confidence when it comes to something new. If you're not good at it right away chances are you push back. Case in point? What's Blocking Your Confidence? Look at your own high school or college athlete stars. Then look at the nerds who weren't part of the popular group. Usually after high school those nerds blossom. The stars? Many of them played it safe and aren't in very good shape any more. They go live at home where they can relive that old identity and are more likely to be overweight and out of shape. True story! Life will force you to grow and develop confidence or you'll coast through without really gaining anything but luck.  Most of the listeners who started their own fitness business from middle class America had middle class or better grades, and sports, and dated a few people then got engaged and married and it was all pretty easy. Those who didn't have the ideal childhood, who had to get better, have more confidence and often come on stronger. Can you relate to that? So getting out of your comfort zone and doing things you don't ordinarily do is key. Not once, but committing to them for 8 weeks or 3 months. Speak to Sell Fitness Opportunities: Speaking today includes podcasts, webinars, live video (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Instagram TV). I speak 3-4 times a week almost every week even if I don't get on a stage or in front of a room of people. Create it. Film it. Critique it. Get better. Take some action. Speak to sell fitness by being interesting, animated, and interested in your audience's goals. Speaking Resources: Toastmasters National Speakers Association improvisation comedy club drama class They can build confidence. And they can make you a more interesting speaker.

Are you great or desire to be? Do you have a conventional education or not? Questions we answer with our book review today. My cohost Tom Durkin Owner operator Ames Fitness and Fitness World Ankeny in Midwest, CEO of Health & Fitness Management, 40 years in fitness industry sales and management. He has over 2000 books in his personal library. He manages over 315 employees daily at multiple facilities.  Questions we answer in todays episode:  What book (or books) are we talking about today and who are the authors? Great by Choice– Jim Collins Dark Horse-Todd Rose How influenced are you - or should others be - on "best seller lists" ? If they're simply popularity contests based on the best marketing and promotion campaigns, there are likely some bombs on those lists and some "sleepers" out there that no one else knows about until a review like this. What's been the best and most reliable source of what-to-read-next for you?  How much does the author's background, credentials, and experience matter to you in your selection of what to read next?  What made these books review-worthy? What are the biggest take-aways from Great by Choice? Are you living up to your potential? Who are you competing against? Are you great compared to them? Are you fulfilled and full according to your goal? Am I taking the steps to do it?  What steps can you take to be great by choice? Talk to people to create rapport, offer a session, use a script, ask for a sale Have a list of leads Book speeches, presentations, creating podcasts articles Be prepared, planned for the customers you have Measure how many times you've done each of these steps regularly (daily, weekly) “People who are great by choice have clear performance markers.” - Tom Durkin, 40-year fitness industry owner & manager  What are three take-aways from Dark Horse?  Everybody has talent. There are many pathways to success and fulfillment. A non-traditional approach doesn't necessarily put you at a disadvantage.  Could a non-traditional approach be an asset? In fitness, not having a degree or starting late in life, for example might be an asset. What do you think of the statement “Being Different, is Better than Being Better”? Another book this is reminiscent of - Outliers, by Malcom Gladwell. (not on our review list right now) If you had to recommend a top 10 books to read on habits of successful people... would either or both make the cut?  No to Great By Choice No to Dark Horse Up next in our book club review: Mindset– by Carol Dweck Have you read Great by Choice or Dark Horse?

American Pharoh winning the Triple Crown is easily one of the top sports moments of the 21st century so far.  Larry Collmus was there to tell us all about it.  Calling horse races since he was 18, Collmus worked his way up the ladder until he, in 2011, got the call from NBC to take over for Tom Durkin as the voice of the Triple Crown.  The three races are three of the biggest sports days of the year, and if there's a Triple Crown up for grabs at the Belmont...well that's an whole different ball game.  On this week's episode Larry talks about the art of calling the races, the biggest moments he's witnessed, getting the call to NBC, working with the likes of Bob Costas and much more.
