The Verdict: Darwin Cup
Racing.com’s Gaurav Khosla explains why your horse can or can’t win Monday’s Darwin Cup.
1. Noir De Rue
Why he can win: Beaten key rivals in both starts this prep and maps for a good run from the inside draw.
Why he can’t win: Best record is first-up. Will be regressing now.
2. Grandslam
Why he can win: Top hoop John Allen has flown in for the ride. Strips fitter and is suited up in trip.
Why he can’t win: Too bad to be true last start and he just has not been racing well of late.
3. Mohican Heights
Why he can win: Always improves with a run and should relish the step up in trip.
Why he can’t win: Well-beaten first-up and maps poorly from the wide gate.
4. Write Your Name
Why he can win: Finally draws a good barrier, strips fitter and is one from one at the trip.
Why he can’t win: Last prep he took a lot of runs to reach peak fitness, may need this as well.
5. Lake’s Folly
Why he can win: Dominant when stepping up in trip last start.
Why he can’t win: From the gate, likely to settle close to the rear and be spotting them a start. Harder here.
6 –Sanblas
Why he can win: Crying out for the step up in trip. Was excellent two starts ago.
Why he can’t win: Performs best third-up and was very poor as the odds-on favourite last start.
7. Desert Lass
Why she can win: Been very consistent this prep and seems to race best at the longer trips.
Why she can’t win: Struggled from the wide draw last start and with plenty of speed drawn inside, may get trapped wide again.
8. He’s The Ultimate
Why he can win: Ran an improved race to win dominantly last…
UNCASVILLE – Tesla is opening a sales and showroom at Mohegan Sun, setting up shop on the Mohegan Tribe’s sovereign land to sidestep a Connecticut law preventing direct-to-consumer auto sales.
The Tesla Sales and Delivery Center will open this fall at The Shops at Mohegan Sun, in a first-floor storefront formerly occupied by a Victoria’s Secret store, the casino announced on Wednesday.
Customers will be able to see and buy Tesla vehicles at the casino storefront. And the cars will be delivered at Mohegan Sun’s Sky Tower valet.
“This endeavor with Tesla marks an electrifying milestone in Mohegan Sun’s commitment to fostering impactful relationships, promoting environmental sustainability and offering cutting-edge experiences for our millions of annual guests, each of which are core goals of Mohegan Sun and the Mohegan Tribe,” Mohegan Sun President and General Manager Jeff Hamilton said in a news release.
In its release, Mohegan Sun touted the storefront as a “first-of-its-kind venture in Connecticut with the premiere Sales & Delivery center operating on Sovereign Tribal land.”
Tesla has been lobbying unsuccessfully for years to get Connecticut lawmakers to legalize direct-to-consumer sales of its electric vehicles. Electric-only vehicle manufacturers including Rivian and Tesla have used a direct sales model instead of the dealership model of other auto companies.
The annual “Tesla bill” regularly faces opposition from Connecticut’s car dealers who argue that the carve-out would give electric manufacturers an unfair advantage in the market.
The co-chairs of the legislature’s Transportation Committee State Rep. Roland Lemar, D-New Haven, and State Sen. Christine Cohen, D-Guilford, were generally supportive of the move in comments to CT Examiner.
“It’s certainly innovative on the part of both Tesla and the Tribe to come up with a solution that will bring their cars to market in Connecticut and allow them to distribute here,”…

History Knox
BRINKHAVEN — In addition to having gone through numerous name changes over the years, the eastern Knox County village of Brinkhaven has seen a lot of re-engineering of its roads and bridges.
The one seen in this vintage postcard image from the early twentieth century carried Ohio 62 across the Mohican River into the village. It was a single-lane structure that served as the main viaduct into Brinkhaven in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Bridge of Dreams:
The 1930s railroad bridge has been converted to a wooden covered bridge, and is a popular attraction on the Mohican Valley Trail, which follows the route of the original railroad. (Photo by Mark Jordan.)
At that time, as far as I can figure, the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus Railroad ran in the position that Ohio 62 is currently in, going under the long-gone trestle for the Wally Railroad (the popular name for the Walhonding Railroad), which crossed north-south through town.
I believe that trestle came down in the 1913 flood, which started long-term planning for flood control, which eventually resulted in construction of the Mohawk Dam in 1937.
The dam project increased the likelihood of flooding in the valley around Brinkhaven, so the CA&C Railroad was moved up to higher ground. The new, high railroad bridge served in that function for many years, but later became part of the Mohican Valley Trail after the rails were abandoned.
The railroad bridge was clad in wood and became the Bridge of Dreams covered bridge.
At some point after that, Ohio 62 was rerouted over a new bridge in the same location of the old CA&C railroad bridge over the…

Keeping with tradition, the Nanticoke Indian Tribe’s 45th Annual Powwow, planned for Saturday, Sept. 9, and Sunday. Sept. 10, promises a parade of dancers, Sunday-morning worship service, Native American foods and traditional gifts sold by vendors.
On the grounds at Hudson Fields in Milton, the powwow will open at 10 a.m. on Sept. 9 with the Grand Entry. The Parade of Dancers will be at noon, with expanded performances that will include Aztec dancers. Tribal children have been practicing for months to present native dances in conjunction with professional Native American dancers from around the country, according to tribal leaders.
On Sunday morning, the worship service will start at 8:30 a.m. and Grand Entry will be at noon.
Food and craft vendors will open at 10 a.m. on Saturday and at noon on Sunday. The powwow will end at 7 p.m. both days. Items for sale will include jewelry, souvenirs, arts and crafts, beadwork, leather and regalia. For children, there will be facepainting and crafts. Indian tacos will be on the menu, as well as Indian frybread, cups of succotash, hotdogs, hamburgers, french fries and flavored ices.
A car show open to all classes of vehicles will be held in conjunction with the Southern Delaware Street Rod Association. Also planned is an interactive exhibition of birds with the Delaware Museum of Natural History and Animal Behavior & Conservation Connections, and a tribute to those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the United States, with native flute music.
“Our tribal community wishes to share our voices, customs and traditions. While members of the tribe request that people ask…

Distinguished participants,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am honored to be speaking at this event, which is coming during the preparations for the conduct of the Provincial Council elections planned for 18 December.
Let me start by stating what should be obvious, that is that women, like men, have equal rights and equal potential to contribute to social development and to political life. However, as we know, women face many challenges when it comes to their role in public life and politics, including participation in elections. It is important that we take the opportunity of the forthcoming elections to promote an environment in which women can achieve their potential and make their own specific contribution.
In this context, we commend the Government of Iraq for establishing the High Committee to Support Women’s Political Participation in the forthcoming Provincial Council elections.
We welcome the recent launching of the Committee’s workplan and look forward to working with the Committee in close coordination with the Independent High Electoral Commission, the institution tasked with overseeing elections which also undertakes initiatives to promote the role of women as candidates and voters.
We are pleased that the High Committee workplan is based on good practices and lessons learnt from the work of the previous committee set up for the October 2021 elections. Good practices include the establishment of hotlines by the Ministry of Interior to receive security-related complaints from women candidates, and the appointment by the Supreme Judicial Council of judicial investigators to examine complaints of violence against women candidates, online and offline.
Dear participants,
UNAMI’s work relating to the elections in Iraq is based on text of UN Security Council resolution 2682 (2023), adopted last May, which requires us to advise, support, and assist the Government of Iraq, the Independent High Electoral Commission and other…
Jul. 26—Release your inner rockstar fantasy by singing along with one of the genre’s best.
Rock ‘n’ roll icon Pat Benatar, along with her husband and music partner Neil Giraldo, make a stop on their Funtastic Tour at Mohegan Pennsylvania’s Outdoor Concert Venue, 1280 Route 315, Plains Twp., on Friday, July 28. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m., rain or shine.
Tickets cost $55 and can be purchased by visiting ticket
master.com and the Mohegan Pennsylvania Box Office, located at the hotel front desk.
Entry is general admission, and seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. A limited number of VIP packages are available. This is an event for guests ages 21 and older and a valid ID is required upon entry. All people, bags and personal items are subject to inspection.
Benatar first took over the radio — and MTV — in the late 1970s and early 1980s with hits such as “Heartbreaker,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Shadows of the Night” and “Love is a Battlefield.” She has become an icon of rock thanks to her punchy anthems and extensive vocal range, that allow for her to hit low bluesy tones all the way up to dramatic high notes, brushed with her signature rasp. The four-time Grammy-winner also was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
Benatar explained that she and Giraldo — who have been married for 41 years — begin working on the tour’s set list about a month out, choosing songs from their 44-year catalog.
“We try to pick something from every era,” Benatar said. “The audience, they also want to hear some of the deep cuts from those albums so we put a couple of those in there and we fill in the rest. They really…
