What’s In a Name: Et Tu Brute (Ire)

Julius Caesar was almost a Roman Emperor. He was prevented from being one by the assassins led by his adopted (and natural, some say) son Brutus, while on his way to the Senate on March 15, 44 B.C. According to Shakespeare-validated legend, Caesar uttered “Et Tu Brute?” (‘You too. Brutus?’) when he saw Brutus among his assailants, and stopped defending himself. So the name of this Chepstow 2-year-old winner by Holy Roman Emperor (Ire) tells an ancient story, one of tragically hyper-partisan politics.

Are Online Casino Games Fair

Games are considered to be fair games when each player has the same opportunity to win, all other things considered equal. Games players everywhere are concerned with fair games. If the games aren’t fair, the players are being cheated so this is why they are always so concerned with the issue of fair games.

There is no way to know for sure if the games are fair. The software manufacturers have a stake in making sure that the games are fair since they have their own names to protect in the marketplace. They don’t want to be associated with any shoddy or fly-by-night operations. Many software manufactures have built-in procedures for testing the game software for fairness as well as protecting the consumer against other shoddy practices, but there is no way to guarantee that these are working.

Many online watchdog entities are concerned with the issue of game fairness and have requirements which must be met before the site receives its seal. The site usually has to submit to some form of software testing to ensure the integrity of the games in order to be awarded a seal. Finding a seal on a site is one way of being made to feel more secure about dealing with that site. Again, there are no positive guarantees, especially in the online environment. Fair games will always be a concern to players of gambling games because it is the player’s money that is at stake so most players will be concerned with fair games.

Social Inclusion Gets First Winner at Gulfstream

Social Exclusion (Social Inclusion) became the first winner for her freshman sire (by Pioneerof the Nile) Wednesday at Gulfstream. Overlooked at 10-1 in this unveiling, the bay broke on top and was shadowed by Gem Thief (Shanghai Bobby) through a sharp first quarter in :21.29. Showing the way into the lane on a clear lead, Social Exclusion powered home to a 4 3/4-length success. Kay’s Project (Jack Milton) was second and Gem Thief faded to third.

Social Inclusion won three of his nine starts with his claim to fame being his 10-length defeat of future MGISW Honor Code (A.P. Indy) in a Gulfstream allowance when that champion was returning from a layoff. Third both the GI Wood Memorial S. and GI Preakness S. in 2014, Social Inclusion now stands at Diamond B Farm in Mohrsville, Pennsylvania.
