The World of Horse Racing

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

The horse-race is an equestrian sport which was practised during the centuries. Its origins go back approximately to 4500 BEFORE JESUS CHRIST among the wandering members of the tribe of the Central Asia which domesticated the first time the horse. Since then, the horse-race opened out like sport of the kings.

Since the beginning of the recorded history, the horse-race was a sport organized for all important civilizations around the sphere. The Olympic Games of the old Greek had events for the tank and the assembled horse-race. Then the Romans embraced the sport. In the Roman empire, the tank and the horse-race assembled were important industries with imported bloodlines, programs of breeding, thorough routines of formation, and all the equipment to bet organized like bookmakers, horse-packing hot ways, scandals, ends, and especially, excitation. The decline of the Roman empire also saw a decline in the organized public packing until good after the beginning of more modern times.

Horse racing then became a professional sport as early as the 12th century, when the English knights returned from the Crusades with Arab horses. Over the next several hundred years, an increasing number of Arabian stallions were imported and bred to English mares, producing horses that combined endurance and speed. These are the breed of horses that are used in horse racing today.

World Series Teams

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Some teams obtain with the series of the world and you know that they will gain it all. Like the 1927, and 1961 Yankees. Red Sox of 2004 and reds of the red great days of machine are some other teams where I estimated that their destiny was blocked before the series started. Some teams  are so strong that they gain four plays with any. The Yankees did it seven times. Giants are after nearest in four plays with any the victories to series with two fields of their credit. On the other hand the Yankees were swept three times, more any team. With all has, Cubs and the cardinals being in series play without victory twice.

The test for a playoff team is winning in seven games. The last game of the post season is at hand and there are NO second chances. In seven game series the team with the most wins is not the Yankees. It’s the St Louis Cardinals with seven wins followed by the Yankees with five victories. Many teams have won seven game series twice. The Twins, Dodgers, Pirates, Tigers, and A’s make up that impressive list. On the losing end the Yankees head the list with five losses. They are followed by The Giants with four seven game losses, The Dodgers, Cardinals, Tigers and Red Sox with three losses each are next.

Of the 39 World Series the Yankees have been in 10 times the series ended in four games. Eleven times the series ended in seven games.

The St Louis Cardinals have seen the World Series 16 times. Seven times they won in seven games and three times they lost in seven games. They were also swept two times.
