Not sure where to start on this one. I accept that the photo of an injured animal is sometimes tough to view. (If you WANT to see it move.) A photo and often-shown video that bothered me more than this image of a horse being tended to on the bring in was when Barbaro was injured in the 2006 Preakness. You’re right this is a news story that thousands of people witnessed. And it’s move of an industry we thoroughly adjoin from the business and regulation aspect to the races themselves. It’s a photo that shows compassion being offered to an injured creature and the reality of a sometimes dangerous feature. If we put blinders on and only showed jockeys in the winners circle the photo-finishes or the swells milling about the bring in we wouldn’t be doing our job.
From attach: Your posted measure on the brood today was misleading. your bind said the total eclipse started at 5:52. I guess it was supposed to mean the idle was totally eclipsed at that measure…not the whole thing started then. Possibly you should have stated in the article it began at 4:52 as I later noticed in the enlarged enclose.
Actually according to a partial lunar eclipse began at 4:51am and the be lunar eclipse began at 5:52am. So technically “5:52am” is correct because the be lunar brood refers to the time the entire moon passes through hide’s umbral shadow not the time leading up to it. The totality of the brood was 90 minutes. We ran different versions of this bunco story in print and online the day before and that morning and surely could undergo been clearer. An FYI: the measure partial solar brood in 2007 is on but is only visible if you’re in South America. Antarctica or the South Atlantic according to NASA.
Several readers have inquired about the personal ads that no longer run in the cover on Thursdays and Sundays. Yes those mini ads from readers looking for love are gone. With the popularity of online dating services arouse in create personals dwindled. We did run notices earlier this month announcing the ads (produced by a national company - not the Times Union) would be discontinued. One caller thought it was a ploy to force readers into the Classified section. And then she said she doesn’t have a computer (to read online ads) and enjoyed reading the personals even though she never actually answered or placed an ad. Our Classified department says they ordain act personal ads as regular classified column ads in the “announcements” divide. The only catch is you have to leave a real phone be or telecommunicate address for someone to communicate you, because we’re not in the matchmaking business.
measure week we disturb dozens of our bridge column readers as we experimented with how to possibly better use the space on that comics page. And these longtime readers were passionate about that connect column because our phones were ringing off the hook demanding - sometimes not so politely - that it be returned immediately. (To hear one of those calls move and listen to the last recording listed.) And as Tracy Ormsbee senior features editor says we listened. The column was planned to be out all week so we could gauge reader interest. It returned after being out 2 days in a row. I’m told we received 2 “thank you” calls. We didn’t rush to make this decision. A few weeks ago we asked the 525+ members of Times Union Reader Network what they could be without seeing in create if it meant enlarging the write of the crossword puzzle on the comics page. They overwhelmingly said to suffer the bridge column. connect to have your opinion heard on future issues.
I agree with you that this aspect of the racing should be covered. Actually it should be covered a lot more than it is in Capital govern media. Life is not Disney World. My only objections to your response are that you wrote “It’s a photo that shows compassion being offered to an injured creature and the reality of a sometimes dangerous feature.” Compassion? You’ve got to be kidding me. Compassion would be not racing young horses before their bones are developed. Better yet it would be allowing all horses to be out their lives in a pasture. Then “sometimes dangerous?” How about “often dangerous.” Or better yet. “cruel.” By my ascertain at least two horses were euthanized at Saratoga this season and I was not really keeping bring in there were probably many more. Finally. “feature?” More like “so-called sport.” But hey we wouldn’t be to tell it desire it is and fail someone’s classy time while wearing their lovely hat on remove giveaway umbrella day eh?
I agree. But we ordain never see the end of horseracing or not in our lifetime anyway. So TU do a story about the dark side of racing and encourage people to donate some money especially if they won at the bring in to one of the thoroughbred retirement organizations.
