A woman who was Northern Colorado to play a game on Facebook, while their 13-month-old baby drowned in a bathtub was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison.

Shannon Johnson, 34, Fort Lupton, cried as District Judge Thomas Quammen said he did not believe that he was a bad person or intentionally killed her son, Greeley Tribune. But, he added, that does not mean that his conduct was not criminal.

Speed Figure Maiden Watch...

--Steve Sherack

Anyone care to guess who has posted the highest Beyer Speed Figure in the 2-year-old division thus far? Give up? Apparently, a Texas-bred colt by the little known Danzig stallion Menhal is currently sitting atop the standings with a 96 rating (through June 30).

Sent off as the 2-1 favorite in his June 16 unveiling, Canigotoo broke like a rocket from post one, and zipped through fractions of :22.61 and :45.75. With pilot M.C. Berry aboard, he began to open daylight at the head of affairs and was hand-ridden to an eye-catching 12 1/4-length decision over 11 overmatched rivals (TDN Video). The gray, owned by Jerry Durant and Bill Jordan and trained by Bret Calhoun, stopped the clock for five furlongs in :58. He was bred by L. T. Smith Enterprises.

Canigotoo is out of the hard-knocking 24-year-old Fight Over mare Bella Selene, who is a half-sister to 1997 GI Florida Derby hero and GI Kentucky Derby runner-up Captain Bodgit (Saint Ballado). Bella Selene hit the board in 36 of her 72 trips to post, with $145,316 in earnings.

Menhal, a winner of one of four career starts, stands at Blossom Farm in Texas for a private fee. From seven crops, the 14-year-old has been represented by 11 winners from only 16 starters. He is out of the GI Beldame S. third-place finisher Coxwold (Cox’s Ridge), and hails from the extended family of GISWs Conquistarose, De La Rose and Upper Nile.

Canigotoo returned to the worktab with a four-furlong move in :48.80 at Lone Star June 30. Stay tuned.

Eddie’s Band, a 3-year-old son of Claiborne sire Eddington, also made some noise on the leaderboard, earning a gaudy 102 Beyer in his Louisiana Downs maiden win at second asking May 27 (TDN Video).

Away from the stalls alertly from post eight, the flashy blaze-faced chestnut cruised through an opening quarter in :23.14, began to shake clear entering the far turn and poured it on in the stretch after a couple of taps from Richard Eramia’s whip to score by a good-looking 9 1/4 lengths. He completed the seven-furlong distance in 1:22.85.

Eddie’s Band was hammered down to 2-5 following a troubled debut second May 8. In that attempt, he finished with interest while racing on his wrong lead in the stretch. Eddie's Band also got bumped at the break and raced in traffic that day.

Bred in Kentucky by B. Wayne Hughes, the son of the 8-year-old mare Bandstand (Deputy Minister) was acquired for a bargain $11,000 by Larry Johnson as a Keeneland September yearling. His second dam, City Band (Carson City), won the GI Oak Leaf S. and bankrolled $607,418. She produced stakes winners Foolishly (Broad Brush) and Weather Warning (Storm Cat), as well as Storm Tide (Storm Cat), the dam of MGSW American Lion (Tiznow).

Eddie’s Band, trained by Morris Nicks in his first two starts, has been training smartly since cap and gown day. He has posted three workouts, led by a best-of-31 five-furlong move in :59 4/5 at Louisiana Downs June 18. Transferred to Ralph Nicks, Eddie's Band is entered in a $75,000 optional claimer going a mile at Churchill Downs July 4  (Brisnet PPs).

eBook News

EBook? eBook? Should one capitalize the "e" to start a sentence using "ebook"?  Maybe I'll just avoid that from now on and start ebook posts with something like, "Yes, yes, ANOTHER post about ebooks."

It seems the competition is finally heating up for OverDrive (thank goodness).  Honestly, healthy competition in the marketplace can be a very good thing.  Since there has been essentially no competition in ebook lending, OverDrive has felt no pressure to improve their interface or lower their access fees.

However, an unlikely company has jumped whole-hog into the fray - 3M.  Yes, good ol' Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing has launched an ebook lending service.  I say, "Bravo!"

The product/service was unveiled at the American Library Association annual meeting just a few days ago.  It appears to be mostly ready for use with a fairly good variety of publishers and titles.  Notably, it does not currently work with Amazon's Kindle as of yet, but does work with popular devices such as Apple's iPad.  If, like Recorded Books', they are negotiating with Amazon, however, this could prove to be a great alternative to or addition to an OverDrive account.

Now that I've thought about it, I am going to always use a lower case "e" even if it is at the start of a sentence when writing "ebook".  Then I can say I was influenced by Steve Jobs and the ubiquitous "i" used to start the names of all their popular electronic items.

Is' Transformers: Dark Of The Moon "shine On Razzi

 Directed by Michael Bay may be a time favorite of audiences and critics lot '. Simply, in 2007, seemed to be in seventh heaven: his first film version of the toy cost franchise "Transformers" generally well received by readers. And 'his highest score at Metacritic the film, is still a modest 61. Li worked as a common Boffo box office the movie Bay, and competed for three Academy Awards * (sound, sound editing and visual effects).

Transformers Dark of the Moon is newsThen became inevitable, a subsequence of 2009, "Revenge of the Fallen", and critics for more than a love story soon. Were directly happened. Roger Ebert called them "terrifying experience long unbearable." It 'was an attempt other than Oscar, after the best sound, only the pre-ascending to the second problem: Razzie. Li has approved seven nominations, and "won" a hat-trick and the terror: the worst, worst director and worst screenplay. Only a contempt for a wide variation stipulatory "Revenge of the Fallen", were all the same, Merchant Goliath, more than the first film in the world-wide range of $ 836 million.

"Revenge of the Fallen" was first Bay never won a Razzie price, but it was not his first nomination. He claimed double before the worst film "Armageddon" (1999) and "Pearl Harbor" ( 2002), which were both up for worst picture. "Armageddon" lost "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn" and "Pearl Harbor" was considered not quite as horrible "Freddie Got Fingered."

Box office experts do not rely on "Dark of the Moon" is one of the most successful films of the year, but unfortunately for the bay, it seems that he turned down his coat for the Razzies next year. U.S. Today called the film a "gap, hitting the show," and the Chicago Tribune as "an act of inhumanity and persistent moral idiocy difficult." The time now is comfortable in the cool of Rotten Tomatoes.

Generally, as the Razzie * to keep the commercial and critical flops message such as "Battlefield Earth" and notorious bomb "Gigli," but "Revenge of the Fallen," was by far the most successful film ever to be named the worst of the worst and then levels reach audiences attend "Dark of the Moon" by mass, the film can not be sure of anger Razzie.

Ironically, the cast of "Dark of the Moon" is full of players who have earned honors work, including the Tony and Oscar winner Frances McDormand, Academy Award nominee John Malkovich, nominated for an Emmy Award-winner and Patrick Dempsey Emmy Award-John Turturro, Josh Duhamel and Shia LaBeouf.

A Day Fit For a Queen

--Christina Bossinakis

   Queen’s Plate day started out sunny but, by the time the Bossinakis tribe (my mother Lily, uncle Costa and aunt Artemis) set off for Woodbine, it looked like we might get yet another round of rain. Luckily for us, we were spared the predominant theme since my arrival in Toronto last Wednesday. Back up in the Woodbine Club dining room, we found ourselves in great company–seated nearby was Martin Schwartz (owner of Plate runner Bowman’s Causeway); the West Point team, headed by the always dapper Terry Finley (represented by Enduring Star); and the connections of Queen’splatekitten (Nicholas Brady’s Mill House), including agent Steve Young and trainer Todd Pletcher. It’s interesting to note that Mr. Pletcher, who was at Belmont Saturday to accept the trophy for Buster’s Ready’s runaway victory in the GI Mother Goose S., arrived at the Toronto oval shortly after noon before jumping back on a plane to New York not long after a fifth with the ‘Kitten’ in the feature. Oh, did I forget to mention that this is the way he spent his birthday? And that’s one of the reasons why I refer to him as ‘T-Train.’ (other than the obvious reason, of course). Sometimes I swear he is superhuman. His dedication, discipline and commitment to his clients and horses are really quite admirable.

   As for our dining experience, the staff was very attentive, and accommodating, and the food was superb, with plenty of fresh seafood and a tasty dessert selection (and this coming from the daughter of an accomplished pastry chef!). As for the Bossinakis crew, we kicked off Sunday the same way we concluded Saturday–winning. The big score of the day, however, came from Costa, who hit a healthy payday of $600. That’s the great thing about horse racing, sometimes blind luck proves more lucrative than over analysis.
A couple of races prior to the Plate, we accompanied the Romeo family (of Big Red Mike fame) down to the paddock to watch their horse, Daniel Be Good, in an allowance (optional claimer). (FYI: ‘Daniel’ came home a winner in the race prior to last year’s Queen’s Plate...that’s TWO wins in front of the Queen for Terra Racing). The whole crew seemed to be in the paddock Sunday: Dom, and his sons Steve and Frank, who also had his wife Rose and son Mike in tow. (Note: If you have the chance to see Mike, you will know precisely why he is the namesake for the Queen’s Plate hero). With speed appearing to hold up well earlier in the day, ‘Daniel’ seemed to have a very good chance at 7-1, and though he ran admirably, he weakened late to be a close-up third. I must say that it was such a pleasure to get to know the Romeos. They are people of the highest class who have a tremendous passion and affection for our game. We certainly would be blessed if we had more of them in our industry.

Christina and Lily Bossinakis in the Woodbine Paddock

   The paddock area prior to the Queen’s Plate can best be described as a mass of humanity, and horseflesh. Inglorious was led out of the saddling enclosure and into the paddock fairly early, and never seemed to turn a hair. I observed her owner, Vernon Dubinsky, rushing back and forth between the bay filly (Post 9, saddled in the center of the enclosure) and his other entrant, Seawatch (Post 12, situated at the far corner). In all honesty, if races were based on looks, I would have given the nod to Check Your Soul, who looked absolutely stupendous. Just a picture of health and confidence. Also getting a notable mention was Queen’splatekitten. While those two might have collected the ribbon for sexiness (at least of the equine variety), it was obviously not their day. (Check Your Soul tired late to be seventh). On the front side, the atmosphere leading into the race was almost electric, only muted by the seemingly endless loading process. The stands looked filled to capacity, however, I am told that was nothing compared to last year when Queen Elizabeth II was in attendance. When all was said and done, the winner of the Woodbine Oaks came away with a 2 1/2-length win, becoming the 34^th filly to collect the first leg of Canada’s Triple Crown. Returning in front of the stands amid a rousing ovation, the filly was greeted by her visibly moved trainer, Josie Carroll, who was collecting her second Plate win following her 2006 score with Edenwold. The day couldn’t have ended more fittingly with a pair of gallant ladies collaborating to win the "Gallop for the Guineas." Bringing down the curtain on my Queen’s Plate experience, I couldn’t help but think just how gracious and helpful our friends at Woodbine were during my visit, which really added to the whole experience.

March to the Winner's Circle

   This morning, I was greeted with an absolutely stunning day for my departure (after most of my trip was spent under an umbrella!). However, I can’t really complain, because the weather really cooperated when it had to. And while I was sitting in the airport sipping on my Tim Horton’s coffee (Dunkin’ who??), I couldn’t help thinking, this may not be my town, but they sure are my people.
