Bay Shore Handicap
The Bay Shore Handicap is a discontinued Thoroughbred horse race run from 1925 through 1955 at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York City. The race was open to horses age three and older and run on dirt. From 1956 to 1959 there was no Bay Shore Handicap but in 1960 Aqueduct Racetrack created the Bay Shore Handicap/Stakes as a race for three-year-olds. The 1940 race was won by Jacomar, recorded as being owned by Mrs. E. Graham Lewis. Better known as the highly successful cosmetics magnate Elizabeth Arden, she would establish Maine Chance Farm three years later and build it into one of the most successful breeding and racing operations of that era. The 1943 and 1944 Bay Shore Handicap winners, Wait A Bit and Brownie, were two of the three horses involved in the only triple dead heat on record in a Thoroughbred stakes race when they joined Bossuet to win the 1944 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack.

It is frequently attested as the first element in Anglo-Saxon names, both masculine and feminine, e.g. Æthelhard, Æthelred, Æthelwulf; Æthelburg, Æthelflæd, Æthelthryth ( Audrey).

Homer C
Homer (; grc, Ὅμηρος , ''Hómēros'') (born ) was a Greek poet who is credited as the author of the ''Iliad'' and the ''Odyssey'', two epic poems that are foundational works of ancient Greek literature. Homer is considered one of the most revered and influential authors in history. Homer's ''Iliad'' centers on a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles during the last year of the Trojan War. The ''Odyssey'' chronicles the ten-year journey of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, back to his home after the fall of Troy. The poems are in Homeric Greek, also known as Epic Greek, a literary language which shows a mixture of features of the Ionic and Aeolic dialects from different centuries; the predominant influence is Eastern Ionic. Most researchers believe that the poems were originally transmitted orally. Homer's epic poems shaped aspects of ancient Greek culture and education, fostering ideals of heroism, glory, and honor. To Plato, Homer was simply the one who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

His full height would reach just five-foot, two inches. Eventually nicknamed "Banana Nose" by his confreres, Arcaro won his first race in 1932 at the Agua Caliente racetrack in T ...
