U Too Pure Silk # 2 Race 6 Southland Park Dec 3 2012
U Too Pure Silk (# 2) 7/2
Has two wins at Abilene with one under 30:00 and two fast schooling races here. Hard to bet against those four wins. Hope to get the morning line odds. Noticed that those that started racing prior to this one from the litter have done extremely well, one has a couple wins at Derby Lane, one has two wins in as many starts at Tri State while others have more wins than losses in their starts. He is the most recent to start.
Broke quick to the lead, kind of ran mid track into and through the first turn, not until late on the backstretch did he break into the rail. Stayed along the inside in the stretch. A great effort first out. Strange betting pattern developed. Seems Silk went into the box as the 3/5 favorite and came out as the 10/1 dog. I love mutual swings like that!
Casino Issue Not Over in One Arkansas County
ARKANSAS -- In Arkansas, voters decided to keep Republican Asa Hutchinson in the Governor's office.
They also approved casino gambling, a minimum wage increase and a voter I.D. law.
Casino gaming, Issue 4, was a much talked about ballot proposal. This means four counties will receive casino licenses.
There's still a major hurdle to get over with the casino in one of those counties.
Pope County residents passed a measure that would require another election to determine if, or if not a casino is right for their area. The organizers of that referendum issued a statement to their local paper, the Russleville Courier..saying in part that they believe decisions about gaming in their community should be made on a local level and not a state level. Meantime, Nate Steel, legal counsel for Driving Arkansas Forward, the group supporting casinos in the state says, they're already working on setting up the licensing process.
We're not trying to create a new industry. Arkansans are already engaged in Casino gaming, said Steel, They just do it across state lines and they do it in a limited way at Oaklawn and Southland. We just want to enhance that experience and capture the revenue here at home.
Not a big surprise with the results of the governor's race in Arkansas. Republican incumbent Asa Hutchinson holds on to his seat with a sweeping 65.4-percent -- and his challenger, Democrat Jared Henderson, coming in with 31.7-percent of the vote. Libertarian candidate, Mark West received 2.9 percent of the vote.
Henderson consoled his supporters last night, with..it's not over.
I want to thank every single supporter. Every donor, every volunteer. Everything that you've done for this campaign, said Henderson, It has been one of the biggest honors of my entire life...to fight with you all for this state's future in this past year. And one day soon, we're going to do it again.
Also, in spite of Arkansas being a red state, it was a blue victory for Issue 5 -- a minimum wage increase.
68-percent of voters said yes to $8.50 per hour going to $9.25 per hour in January. Under the measure, the wage will increase to $10 per hour in 2020 and $11 per hour in 2021.
Arkansas voters also said yes to Issue 2 -- which would require a valid photo I.D. when voting.

2016 BetAmerica Daytona550 Participant #4 - Flying Fired Up
Flying Fired Up (Rhythmless- Flying Ablaze)
Owner: Vince Berland
Kennel: Lester Raines
Trainer: Ken Lesperance
Track: Southland Park Gaming & Racing
Race Record (through November): (50) 20-11-6-6
The #6 rated greyhound in the national UGR poll from Southland has settled into an impressive campaign in the second half of 2015. Racing in top grade only since March of this year, a rare feat few can declare at Southland. He has claimed two stakes victories at America's toughest oval.
Not for one for win streaks (just two three-peats) the big rail running son of Rhythmless has consistently won when it counted and has been a career 64% Exacta finisher. Fired Up captured the Southland Derby in July at odds of 12-1, edging out the tenacious CBJ Butterfinger. The betting public has since not let him go to post at less than 3-1 in 20 subsequent starts.
After the taking the historic Derby, Fired Up began his ascent up the UGR poll with 17 of 20 in the money finishes entering December with an astonishing 15 first or second place finishes. He nearly made it three stakes victories in America's richest open stakes event, The Darby Henry Sprint, but was nosed out by fellow UGR Top 10 hound, Chasmo's Dutch. A win for Fired Up would surely have made him a contender for the #1 honors.
Owned and bred by Vince Berland of the famed Flying Eagles Kennel, Flying Fired Up is the newest and hottest shortstop of the greyhound racing's version the New York Yankees. Berland teamed with the Lester Raines kennel to campaign this Kansas bred star and smartly so as Raines has won racing titles in all of the major racing jurisdictions. Ken Lesperance handles the conditioning and has long been one of the most recognized trainers in the business, most notable for his Derby Lane success. He has since carried the winning ways to West Memphis. At the ripe age of 2 1/2 years, he could be finding his best strides at the right time and seems that way heading into 2016.
Flying Fired Up is a son of Rhythmless who is one of the top five studs in the United States for the past several years. The Jimbo Scotty son was a popular choice for many breeders as he was one of the few sires to offer a bloodline free of HB's Commander, Oshkosh Racey (or Flying Penske) and Wigwam Wag (or Gable Dodge).
The dam, Flying Ablaze had a short career yet showed plenty of potential. She has proven invaluable as a brood bitch. She is also the mother of Flyin Supergiant, who is closing in on 50 wins at Southland, most in top grade. Flying Ablaze's 4th dam is Representation, a corner stone of many American breeder's bloodlines.
