The American pharaoh broke the record of thirty- seven years when he crossed the wire in the Belmont’s stakes last year.  He won the America’s premier awards races set aside for the three- year olds thoroughbreds which include; the Belmont, Preakness Stakes, and Kentucky Derby. The most challenging test in horse racing is the five week test. There have been only twelve known horses that have finished the triple since 1919, where Sir Barton was the first to win the series. As the Kentucky Derby nears, one of the competitors in the year’s crop of the 3- year olds has been marked with having the capability of matching the American pharaoh‘s achievement of 2015.

Nyquist is expected to premier in the Kentucky Derby on May 7^th with an unbeaten record and one of the great chances of earning himself an unforgettable position as the thirteenth Triple Crown champion. In his 2- year old season, Nyquist scored his first win at Santa Anita Park in California including four straight classified prizes which were surpassed by his most remarkable win in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile in the month of October. Nyquist was competing with the country’s greatest two- year olds when he was jolted by another horse in the beginning of the race, this resulted in him being stuck too wide in every turn and thus bringing about considerable ground loss. However, he still held on strong and managed to win by half a length.

Brody’s Cause who finished third place in the Breeder’s Cup Juvenile lately won the Bluegrass Stakes. The Santa Anita Derby was won by Exaggerator who managed to scoop the fourth place in the Breeder’s Cup. Exaggerator and Brody’s Cause are expected to participate in the Kentucky Derby as the main competitors. Nyquist marked his third birthday by premiering in the seven furlong San Vicente stakes at Santa Anita in February. He started with a quick pace and gave Exaggerator a challenge thus managing to win the race by one and a half lengths. Nyquist resumed the races in Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park in March where he competed against the unconquered Mohaymen who is the known winner of four straight classified prizes in the races that took place in New York and Florida.

Travelling across the country all the way from California seemed too great a task since there was only one pending race which also included racing in the 1 1/8^th mile in the Florida Derby. Nyquist proved himself a conqueror and the best 3- year old horse in the country with an influential and a very easy win. He is currently in Kentucky waiting for the Derby. Nyquist has proved to be the best horse in all his races by the way he faces his challenges with determination and perseverance. He is always the winner in every of his seven racing careers. He is the kind of horse that adapts too well in different races. Nyquist has two human trainers, Dough O’ Neil and jockey Mario Gutierrez who push him to greatness.

The pedigree of Nyquist has been doubted too many times. This also includes his ability to finish first in long races. Uncle Mo is Nyquist’s sire and had the title of the 2 –year old champions but he was forced out of the Kentucky Derby after he sustained an injury. Nyquist is a registered sprinter; however the Triple Crown distance has proved difficult for him. In the 2016 Triple Crown race, Nyquist is believed to be the next undefeated winner after the American Pharaoh.

Red Mile has seen the incorporation of 902 slots machine for horse racing. The facility is claimed to have incurred a total cost of $42 million as it was renovated after its 140 years of existence. The facility has been ever busy since it was opened on the 12^th day of September and everyday it sees many clients; old and young, black and white. The new racing house doesn’t incorporate horse as it can be noticed from the inside.

Once in, one pays the deskman a visit from where he or she is issued with a $5 voucher and chooses his slot machine. From the slot machines, images of horse racing come to being and it is from this point that one realizes that indeed the Evolution of Horse racing is imminent.

There is one major different between these machines and slot machines. Unlike slot machines, the evolving horse racing machines have the pari-mutual betting where victors are selected from the results of over 1000 past horse races but not selected by arbitrary number of generators.

Once at the slot machine, player chooses the preferred numbers of the top three finish horses. This can be made easier by analyzing previous performance of certain horses, their riders as well as trainers.

However, the introduction of horse racing revolution has faced several criticisms with the Family Foundation an activist group filling a case at the Franklin Circuit Court on the matter. Nonetheless, the complexity of the case may take a longer time than expected. The activist group has questioned the eligibility of whether the pari-mutual betting despite it being allowed by the law in Kentucky.

Nonetheless, the tracks have no worry on the matter as it is clear that the case would take more time before the final verdict is made and by then, the investment company would have recovered all the input capital. It would not be possible for the government to lose the source of taxes as well as firing over 200 employees in Red Mile.

Gambling is good when conducted responsively. Many have claimed that having vast betting revenue is crucial in the survival world of racing industry. Nevertheless it has been evident in other states that politicians get fed up once the flow of the expanded betting is initiated.
