Ask the Experts / Ukraine Relief
March 23, 2022, 06:49:27 PM
In the two weeks since Russia attacked Ukraine, more than 1.6 million Ukrainians have crossed into Poland but so far there are no refugee camps in Poland. Instead, Poles began mobilising from the very first days of the war to receive refugees, with thousands offering rooms in their homes, while others drove to the border to pick up Ukrainian families, cooked warm meals or collected medical supplies.

According to the UN refugee agency, children represent around half of the more than two million people that have fled the crisis in Ukraine, becoming the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since the Second World War.

In order to help, the Association of Polish Journalists (SDP) decided to share Journalist House facilities, which has been converted to a shelter for Ukrainian children and their care workers fleeing Russia\'s invasion.

Currently, there are 140 refugees, including 93 children. 60 of them are kids from the Orphanage in Mariupol, the remaining children came with their mothers or relatives. There are also 11 deaf people among the refugees.

The Association of Polish Journalists provides accommodation in double and triple rooms and full board. The local community is participating in the collection of items for refugees, but the needs are immense and our support is needed.

The Association of Polish Journalists has launched a special account, you can transfer funds to, and support war refugees:

Account number

IBAN: PL88 1020 1097 0000 7102 0217 3680

SWIFT: BPKOPLPW

(Bank details: Bank PK BP – Oddzial PKO Rotunda, ul Marszalkowska 100/102, 00-26 Warszawa)

Address and contact details of the Association:

ul. Foksal 3/5,
00-366 Warszawa

Donations go toward basic necessities, nutrition, health care, education and psychological care.

High Roller,
The one race a year with 20 horses and huge pools. The best chance a gambler has to make a real hit and you\'re on this site calling it a shame.

Covelj50,
Good luck with River Rocks in the Lexington. Hope to see you in the winner\'s circle.

Ask the Experts / Re: Help! I hit the Super.

All these IRS horror stories make me even prouder to be a Canadian.

Had a poster on this board, an American citizen, come visit last fall and spend the evening at Woodbine. He showed us local hayseeds how to handicap hitting a very substantial pick 4. He was very happy to find out no tax deducted, no ID required.

O Canada...

   I just heard the same thing from a non-Trainer (a Janitor, in fact). The rain is falling out of the sky, hitting the ground, and making it wet. Like you, the Janitor is unsure whether the rain will persist off and on or simply persist on.

P Dub,
I agree with everything you say about Zenyatta, clearly without argument one of the greatest champions in the history of horseracing.
It also is very clear that a taunting flag should have been thrown against Rick B but just let it go. Let the haters keep chirping.

Strongly disagree. The global bottom line of horse owners would suggest that most yearlings are vastly overvalued.

It\'s very easy to understand if by \'this industry\' you are referring to the breeding industry. If it\'s racehorse ownership that you\'re referring to then rising yearlings prices is terrible news. Owners, who collectively lose astronomical amounts of money, would be much better served by continued declining sales results and lower stud fees.

I\'m surprised it took this long to get your response. How is paying more for our product, the racehorse, supposed to be good for our industry, which I\'m assuming is racing?

Ask the Experts / Mike Mitchell at Del Mar
September 07, 2011, 08:33:37 PM
Congratulations to my friend and trainer Mike Mitchell on a fantastic Del Mar meet. Mike was leading trainer with 25 winners from only 81 starters, an over 30% winning percentage. Mike is also the all time leading winner in Del Mar history with 454 wins.

Lost Cause,
Once I got past the language differences between their English and ours it wasn\'t complicated at all. From what I\'ve been reading they will make the necessary changes so that us not so smart North Americans can understand.

Lost Cause,
I\'ve been playing at Betfair for many years. My experience with them has been outstanding. Most of my plays are against bad favourites but there are also excellent alternative prices available on big race days such as Breeders Cup.
I believe that betting exchanges represent an opportunity to help revive a dying sport.

Jerry or any TG users...The train from LA to Solana Beach stops very near our house about noon every day. No need for a rental car. I\'ll run you over to the track or the ocean, your choice. See you on opening weekend, Rich Curtis...Yes, that an invitation.
