				&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One show only on Sunday, May 9th; Tickets go on sale March 15th&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1954" title="LOTDpic" src="http://newsroom.mohegansun.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/LOTDpic-300x200.jpg" alt="LOTDpic" height="200" width="300"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lord of the Dance (&lt;a href="http://www.lordofthedance.com/"&gt;http://www.lordofthedance.com&lt;/a&gt;)
has announced its next lineup of tour dates including a very special
performance at Mohegan Sun on Sunday, May 9th at 4:00pm.&amp;nbsp; Lord of the
Dance, produced by Magic Arts &amp;amp; Entertainment, a subsidiary of Tix
Corporation (Nasdaq: TIXC), has been touring the country regularly
since 1996.&amp;nbsp; Recently, cast members Scott Doherty and Michael McHugh
(McHugh for the category of dancers under age 18) were crowned world
champions at the World Irish Dance Championships.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All tickets are $20.00 and go on sale Monday, March 15th at 10:00am
through Ticketmaster.&amp;nbsp; Ticketmaster customers may log onto
ticketmaster.com; call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge by
Phone number 1.800.745.3000; or visit any Ticketmaster outlet.&amp;nbsp; Tickets
will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Tuesday,
March 16th, subject to availability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doherty and McHugh beat out more than 6000 dancers representing five
continents over the eight-day competition. In 2009, the championships
took place in Philadelphia, PA, the first time the competitions were
hosted outside of Ireland and Scotland in its 39-year history.&amp;nbsp;
Flatley, who was in attendance, received an award acknowledging his
special achievements in Irish Dance such as producing and
choreographing multiple Irish dance shows including Lord of the Dance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We are so happy for Scott and Michael. Their dedication to Irish
dance and exceptional abilities are just some of the reasons they are
part of the Lord of the Dance team,” says Flatley.&amp;nbsp; He adds, “I was
just ecstatic to see them both crowned as world champions and we are
very fortunate to have them as part of our cast.”&amp;nbsp; Doherty and McHugh
are in a cast made up of Irish dance phenoms from around the globe.&amp;nbsp;
“Each one is a superstar.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flatley, Lord of the Dance’s creator and artistic director, was the
first guest judge to appear on ABC’s hit reality television program
“Dancing With The Stars.”&amp;nbsp; In November 2007, he and cast members from
Lord of the Dance performed on the show.&amp;nbsp; The thrilled studio audience
clapped throughout and gave a standing ovation as Flatley and his
hypnotizing dancers completed the routine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“That kind of reaction speaks directly to the quality of dancers who
I have had the privilege to bring to the stage,” Flatley says.&amp;nbsp; “They
give of themselves in a way that is unique alone to Irish dancing,
stretching a form of dance that has evolved over more than 2,000
years.”&amp;nbsp; The dancers’ average age is 22, and each one has achieved
individual recognition as a national or worldwide dance champion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More than 100 million people worldwide have seen Lord of the Dance —
the international Irish dancing extravaganza that has performed sold
out shows at theaters, arenas and stadiums in over 67 countries. “Our
success demonstrates the hunger people have,” says Flatley, “to wholly
submerge themselves into a world where dancers interpret every nuance
of classic good versus evil through modern Celtic music.”&amp;nbsp; Lord of the
Dance has an ability to connect with the audience and initiate and
captivate a new generation.&amp;nbsp; Adding to the visceral and emotional
impact are costumes, lighting and staging that are cinematic in scope.
“Make no mistake,” adds Flatley, “Lord of the Dance begins where modern
theatre ends.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flatley, who originated the role of the Lord, is the company’s
Artistic Director, a position he has held since the troupe’s stunning
1996 debut in Dublin.&amp;nbsp; More than a decade later, his influence
continues to resonate throughout every aspect of the production.&amp;nbsp; Irish
dance lovers and music fans alike will get a chance to experience the
engaging, rhythmic adventure that has helped catapult Celtic dance
mania and Irish dancing into the global spotlight.&amp;nbsp; No wonder Lord of
the Dance has jettisoned its ticket sales to more than $800 million
worldwide.&amp;nbsp; During its highly profitable four-year residency in Las
Vegas, an estimated two million people danced along in their seats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lee Marshall, president of Magic Arts &amp;amp; Entertainment, the tour
promoter and veteran of blockbuster entertainment events agrees.&amp;nbsp; “The
championship dancers in our cast manage the impossible every night.
Their collective spirit and energy takes audiences to a time and place
that is as imaginative as it is inviting.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Lord of the Dance is truly a worldwide phenomenon,” says Bob Cayne,
co-promoter and president of Global Entertainment Group.&amp;nbsp; “Fourteen
years later, the US tour is still going strong with more than 75
performances in 2009 and scores more already scheduled for 2010.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flatley continues to oversee all aspects of the production.&amp;nbsp; The
first American to win the All-World Championship in Irish Dance, he was
The Guinness Book of World Records holder for having “the world’s
fastest feet” at 35 taps per second.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
Described by the New York Post as “fascinating, rewarding and above
all, entertaining,” and by the Los Angeles Times as “a showpiece
extravaganza,” Lord of the Dance is a mesmerizing blend of traditional
and modern Celtic music and dance.&amp;nbsp; The story is based upon mythical
Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness, challenges the ethereal
lord of light, the Lord of the Dance.&amp;nbsp; Battle lines are drawn, passions
ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and turns of
dancers’ bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic rhythm.&amp;nbsp;
The action is played out over 21 scenes on a grand scale of precision
dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and state-of-the-art staging
and lighting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;By Marcus Hersh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;NEW ORLEANS - More than six months have
passed since Calvin Borel last got that feeling - whatever that feeling
is a human being gets from sitting on the back of Rachel Alexandra
during a horse race.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; If racing fans are itching to see Rachel,
the 2009 Horse of the Year, make her first start since the Sept. 5
Woodward Stakes, just think how ready Borel must be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Wish
fulfillment comes Saturday, with Rachel Alexandra set to face four foes
in the inaugural running of the $200,000 New Orleans Ladies, a 1
1/16-mile stakes. The 10th of 11 races here, the New Orleans Ladies
precedes by about 20 minutes the Santa Margarita at Santa Anita, where
Zenyatta's 2010 campaign begins. Both races can be seen live on HRTV
and will be streamed live online at NTRA.com. If all goes well, Rachel
Alexandra and Zenyatta will meet April 9 in the Apple Blossom
Invitational at Oaklawn Park.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It's at Oaklawn that Borel
winters, and he will fly down to New Orleans on Saturday morning. Borel
hasn't worked Rachel Alexandra since she was privately sold and
transferred to trainer Steve Asmussen last May, but said he regularly
talks to Asmussen and assistant trainer Scott Blasi about her. Borel
came here in February and saw Rachel Alexandra for the first time since
she left Churchill Downs for New Orleans in late November.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Man,
she looks so big in the right places, in her neck and everything,"
Borel said. "Believe me, I talk to Steve and Scott, and Scott was
telling me yesterday the filly is ready - come here and ride her with
confidence."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The New Orleans Ladies hinges on Rachel Alexandra's
readiness. Anything close to her best and Rachel wins the race, no
questions asked. But things are not so simple Saturday. Poor weather
interrupted Rachel Alexandra's training schedule over the winter. She
has worked seven times for this comeback, and her most major drill, an
in-company six furlongs March 2, didn't unfold ideally. Rachel was
timed in 1:13.60, but her connections wanted something faster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Rachel Alexandra comes into Saturday's race at less than peak fitness,
but she will not lack for eagerness. So aggressive did Rachel become in
morning training this winter, that Asmussen began equipping her with a
figure-eight noseband after Rachel worked five furlongs in 1:00.20 on
Feb. 18, a work she began at a blazing tempo. That piece of equipment,
which Rachel will race in Saturday, gives a rider more control over a
mount pulling hard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Her gallops have been not as controlled as last year," Asmussen said. "Right now, we need more control."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
So, here is the balancing act: Rachel needs a race to ready for the
Apple Blossom, but given her fitness level, the last thing Asmussen
wants is a gut-wrenching effort that sets Rachel back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "We need this to be a stepping-stone and a prep," Asmussen said. "We want a good, physical exertion."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Added Asmussen, "There's going to be a lot in Calvin's hands."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
As sharp as Rachel has been in her training, Asmussen said he expects
to see her on the lead going into the first turn. Borel feels confident
that from there, he can coax Rachel Alexandra to relax.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "She's
just a racemare," said Borel. "You've got to let her do her thing. In
the afternoon, when the gates break, she'll run a sixteenth of a mile
and then she'll let you do what you want."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Rachel Alexandra drew
post 2. Inside her is Fighter Wing, who has made the lead in several
route races, but might not have the speed to keep up with Rachel. Drawn
just outside Rachel Alexandra is Zardana, the first-ever Fair Grounds
starter for trainer John Shirreffs, Zenyatta's trainer. Zardana, a
Grade 2 winner who hasn't raced on dirt since being imported from
Brazil, seems to have ample speed to hound Rachel Alexandra, if that's
what is asked of her by noted front-end rider David Flores.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; If a
fast pace develops, and if Rachel comes up short, the Ladies could fall
to Clear Sailing. Clear Sailing already has won three races this meet,
and rallied from well behind a dawdling pace capturing a minor stakes
Feb. 13. On March 3 at trainer Glenn Delahoussaye's home base, the
Evangeline Downs training center, Clear Sailing worked a bullet
half-mile that Delahoussaye described as "stunning."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "That's the
word that fits," Delahoussaye said. "She did it alone, and under no
encouragement. She's really coming into this race excellent."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Clear Sailing, clearly talented, rates as an encouraging prospect, not
an established stakes horse. But Delahoussaye knows what time it is: If
a horse like his is going to beat Rachel Alexandra, Saturday might be
the day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "The question we all have is, 'How good is she right now?' " Delahoussaye said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The answer is coming soon enough.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;By Matt Hegarty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;A deal to open a casino at Aqueduct is dead again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
New York Gov. David Paterson said in a statement issued Thursday that
the state's lottery "has concluded that it cannot issue a gaming
license to Aqueduct Entertainment Group," the sprawling partnership
whose selection in late January by state government leaders to operate
the casino sparked criticism and controversy. As a result, the process
of selecting the operator is going to be reopened, Paterson said, a
development that will almost certainly add further delays to a process
that has been ongoing for nearly nine years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "The Executive
Branch advocates that the selection of the Aqueduct [slot-machine]
franchisee be done pursuant to an expedited, transparent, apolitical,
and publicly accountable procurement process," the statement said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
In a statement, AEG's attorney, Barry Berke, indicated that the group
would sue the state if it was not given an opportunity to address the
lottery's concerns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "The state's decision to withdraw Aqueduct
Entertainment Group's designation is both arbitrary and capricious,"
Berke said. "In the event that AEG is not given an opportunity to
address the issues raised by the lottery, and the decision to reverse
the prior selection of AEG as the successful bidder is not
reconsidered, AEG intends to pursue all available remedies."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; An
official at the lottery who spoke on the condition of anonymity said
that the lottery division did not want to issue AEG a license because
the structure of its partnership underwent continual changes since the
group submitted its bid last May, including several changes just prior
to a deadline to submit background materials on the partners on
Tuesday. The official would not name the individuals that the division
believed were problematic to license. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "Throughout the process,
they continued to make significant changes," the official said. "They
continued to demonstrate a pattern of involving unqualified individuals
and entities."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The scuttling of the deal is yet another blow to
the New York Racing Association, which is counting on revenues from the
casino to plug holes in its operating budget and subsidize purses for
horsemen. NYRA officials have said that the association will run out of
cash this summer because of delays in getting the casino up and
running. The association included revenues from the casino in its 2010
budget.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Dan Silver, a NYRA spokesman, said the association would have no comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Rick Violette, president of the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's
Association, said the controversy surrounding the selection had made it
unlikely that the casino would ever get off the ground with AEG as the
operator. As a result, the latest development could be good news for
the racing industry if the government quickly selects a new operator,
Violette said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "If we can move forward immediately to the second
or third choice and get the ball moving, then this is a good day,"
Violette said. "Prolonging the agony solves no problems, and delays are
literally killing our industry."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It was unclear Thursday how the
state would proceed in order to select a new operator, but Assemblyman
J. Gary Pretlow, chairman of the Assembly's Committee on Racing and
Wagering, said the state should simply select its second choice among
the five groups that had submitted bids for the project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "The process was flawed from its inception, and I still think that," Pretlow said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "We definitely shouldn't start all over. You're just going to get more of the same."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The casino at Aqueduct has been approved for 4,500 slot machines.
Gambling analysts have estimated that the casino will be the most
lucrative on the East Coast, generating $600 million in net revenue per
year. The operator will receive 31 percent of those revenues, plus an 8
percent allotment to market the casino, and it will not be responsible
for buying and maintaining the slot machines, an obligation that will
be borne by the state lottery. Seven percent of the revenue is
earmarked for NYRA and 6 1/2 percent for Thoroughbred purses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
This is the second time that a deal to operate the casino has been
scuttled. In 2008, the state selected Delaware North to operate the
casino, but the deal fell apart early in 2009 when Delaware North
reneged on a promise to provide the state with a $370 million upfront
licensing fee. The company blamed the collapse of the credit markets
for its inability to come up with the money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Casinos were
authorized for nine racetracks in New York in 2001. Aqueduct is the
only approved track without a casino, and is also the only location in
which the selection of a casino operator was left to the state.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Aqueduct Entertainment Group was selected by Paterson, Assembly Speaker
Sheldon Silver, and Senate Democratic Conference Leader John Sampson
under a process approved by the state legislature several years ago
reserving the choice to the state governor and the leaders of the
state's two legislative bodies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The selection of AEG immediately
generated controversy because of the group's political connections,
which included the Rev. Floyd Flake, the senior pastor of the Greater
Allen A.M.E. Cathedral whose endorsement is considered valuable to
politicians.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Paterson met with Flake three days after making the
selection, inviting speculation that the selection included a quid pro
quo that would lead to Flake endorsing Paterson's gubernatorial bid,
which Paterson has since abandoned due to unrelated scandals affecting
his office. Flake relinquished his 0.55 percent share in AEG this week.
In addition, Jay Z, the hip-hop mogul, dropped out of the group Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Following the Flake meeting, Silver called for the state's inspector
general to investigate the selection process, and in response, Paterson
released all of the documents that bidders had submitted to the state.
The documents did not include any rankings or rationale for the
decision to select the group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The other bidders included a
partnership of SL Green Realty and Hard Rock Casinos; Delaware North; a
partnership of Peebles Development and MGM Grand; and Penn National
Gaming Inc.&lt;/p&gt;

				&lt;div class="pic left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.suffolkdowns.com/img/75-1_maintrack.jpg" alt="Suffolk Downs"&gt;&lt;div class="cap"&gt;The main track as it nears completion.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;p&gt;For
75 years, Suffolk Downs has been a place where people from all walks of
life are welcome. Millions of fans have walked through the turnstiles
and thousands of hard-working men and women have earned their living at
the track as employees. In a city steeped in history, Suffolk Downs
maintains a significant spot in Boston’s rich heritage.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;When
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts created the State Racing Commission
in 1934 and legalized pari-mutuel wagering, the Eastern Racing
Association wasted no time in constructing the state’s first
Thoroughbred racetrack, which it named Suffolk Downs. Among the
directors of the Eastern Racing Association was Charles F. Adams,
founder and president of the Boston Bruins.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;The group
secured roughly 200 acres of mud flats in East Boston and Revere and
contracted A.G. Tomasello &amp;amp; Son to transform the property into one
of the finest racing facilities in the country. Leading the project was
Joseph A. Tomasello, who employed over 3,000 laborers, including 900
carpenters, 200 electricians and plumbers and 100 plasterers. They were
assisted by 638 trucks, 36 bulldozers and 24 power shovels.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;The
project was completed in an amazing 62 days, at the cost of
approximately $2 million. The nation’s first concrete grandstand seated
16,000, making it the biggest grandstand in the country as well. The
clubhouse accommodated 5,000, reported to be the largest in the world.
The grandstand and clubhouse were separated by an area that included a
path from the paddock to the track.&lt;/p&gt;
				&lt;h2&gt;Out of the Gate&lt;/h2&gt;
				&lt;div class="pic right"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.suffolkdowns.com/img/75-2_paddock.jpg" alt="Suffolk Downs"&gt;&lt;div class="cap" style="width: 163px;"&gt;Horses make their way from the paddock toward the track for a post parade, 1939.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;p&gt;On
July 10, 1935, the track opened its doors and over 35,000 people walked
through them to watch and wager on the eight-race program. Thoroughbred
racing in Massachusetts had arrived.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;Later in its
inaugural year, the track began its greatest tradition, the
Massachusetts Handicap. Boasting substantial purse money, the MassCap
immediately attracted some of racing’s biggest names. Hall of Fame
jockey George Woolf rode Top Row to victory in the first MassCap. In
1937, the track welcomed the legendary Seabiscuit for the third running
of the MassCap. Seabiscuit and jockey Johnny “Red” Pollard did not
disappoint the throng of over 40,000 that was present to see them,
winning the race in record time. Over the years, the MassCap has
continued to be a stage for Thoroughbred racing’s top performers as the
track has played host to Hall of Famers both equine and human.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;Immediately
the track became entrenched into the city’s sporting and social fabric,
attracting an average daily attendance of nearly 15,000 in its first
year, a figure that peaked at 18,388 in 1945. Interest in racing was so
high that the daily double payoff was frequently posted in large print
across the very top of the front page of the Boston Globe. Average
attendance remained five figures until the early 1970s, when the racing
schedule was drastically expanded to as many as 200 days a year.&lt;/p&gt;
				&lt;h2&gt;Changing with the Times&lt;/h2&gt; 

				&lt;p&gt;After
roughly a quarter-century, the track underwent its first significant
renovation in the early 1960s when the open-air grandstand was enclosed
and the appearance of the clubhouse entrance was drastically changed.
The grandstand and clubhouse were joined together and a new paddock and
walking ring was constructed between the track and the grandstand.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;div class="pic right"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.suffolkdowns.com/img/75-3_beatles.jpg" alt="Suffolk Downs"&gt;&lt;div class="cap"&gt;Beatles make their final Boston appearance on August 18th, 1966.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;p&gt;On
August 18, 1966, the Beatles took the stage for an historic
performance, one of their last official concerts as a group. Over
25,000 fans packed the track to witness what would prove to be the
Beatles’ final Boston appearance.&lt;/p&gt;
				&lt;p&gt;Further changes, both
cosmetic and philosophical, were realized from 1969-70 when the
innovative Bill Veeck served as track president. In addition to making
physical improvements in the box seating area, Veeck, who is enshrined
in the National Baseball Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a
pioneering baseball owner, brought his promotional genius to the
racetrack, where he gained publicity with chariot races and livestock
giveaways, among other things. Perhaps Veeck’s most significant
accomplishment during his brief reign was his successful challenge of a
Massachusetts law that did not allow children to attend the track.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;The
track enjoyed one of its finest moments in 1987, when hometown heroes
Waquoit and jockey Chris McCarron prevailed in one of the most
thrilling finishes in MassCap history, defeating Broad Brush and Angel
Cordero. Unfortunately, just two years later, the track suffered one of
its darkest days when it closed for two years at the conclusion of the
1989 racing season.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;div class="pic left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.suffolkdowns.com/img/75-4_cigar.jpg" alt="Suffolk Downs"&gt;&lt;div class="cap" style="width: 163px;"&gt;Two-time Horse of the Year Cigar and jockey Jerry Bailey.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;p&gt;The
track was soon brought back to life, reopening in 1992 under the
direction of Sterling Suffolk Racecourse LLC, led by chairman James B.
Moseley and president John Hall II. Prior to reopening, a new round of
improvements was made, including the restoration of the clubhouse
façade to its original form. Just three years later, the track
continued its revival, renewing the MassCap, which hadn’t been held
since 1989. The MassCap returned in grand style, as Champion Cigar and
Hall of Fame jockey Jerry Bailey graced the track for consecutive
victories in the signature race in 1995 and ‘96, on the way to Cigar’s
record-tying 16-race win streak.&lt;/p&gt;
				&lt;h2&gt;Beyond the Track&lt;/h2&gt;
				&lt;div class="pic right"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.suffolkdowns.com/img/75-5_autism.jpg" alt="Suffolk Downs"&gt;&lt;div class="cap"&gt;Greater Boston Walk Now for Autism.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;The
track expanded its community reach in 1998, becoming the home of the
Hot Dog Safari, a benefit for the Joey Fund and Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation. The end of the 20th century also saw the reintroduction of
concerts to the track, a tradition that includes appearances by
Aerosmith and Elvis Costello in addition to the historic Beatles show.
The 21st century welcomed another cultural attraction to the track, the
world-renowned Cirque du Soleil, and an additional charitable event,
the Greater Boston Walk Now for Autism.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;The publication of
“Seabiscuit: An American Legend” by Laura Hillenbrand in 2001 and the
subsequent release of the movie “Seabiscuit” in 2003 renewed interest
in the track’s rich history. In 2004, the horse that many labeled a
modern-day Seabiscuit for his improbable success story, Funny Cide,
thrilled an appreciative crowd with his appearance in the 64th MassCap.&lt;/p&gt;
				&lt;h2&gt;Taking the Lead&lt;/h2&gt;
				&lt;div class="pic left"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.suffolkdowns.com/img/75-6_2007MC.jpg" alt="Suffolk Downs"&gt;&lt;div class="cap" style="width: 252px;"&gt;Brass Hat and jockey Willie Martinez in the winner's circle after the 2007 MassCap.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;In
the spring of 2007, developer Richard T. Fields joined local
entrepreneur Joe O’Donnell in a partnership committed to Thoroughbred
racing and the long-term future of Suffolk Downs. In September of 2007,
a crowd of 19,191 – the largest at the track since 1996 – gathered to
celebrate the return of the MassCap after a two-year absence.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;A
trusted community partner since first opening its doors, the track has
celebrated individuals and organizations that make a positive
difference in its surrounding communities through its “Commitment to
Community” program.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;Suffolk Downs has demonstrated a
commitment to the lifetime care of Thoroughbreds once their racing
careers are over, becoming the first racetrack in the country to
implement a strict anti-slaughter policy for owners and trainers with
horses stabled on its grounds. Virtually every major racetrack in
America has since adopted a similar stance. In November of 2009,
Suffolk Downs, the Fields Family Foundation and the Thoroughbred
Retirement Foundation established a home or retired racehorses at the
Plymouth County Sheriff’s Farm in Plymouth, MA, where inmates from the
Plymouth County Correctional Facility will care for the horses as part
of the facility’s extensive vocational program.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;div class="pic right"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.suffolkdowns.com/img/75-7_startgate.jpg" alt="Suffolk Downs"&gt;&lt;div class="cap" style="width: 339px;"&gt;A field of nine breaks from the mule-drawn starting gate, 1935, one week after the track opened.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
				&lt;p&gt;Suffolk
Downs has undergone many changes over the last 75 years, but just as it
was in 1935, it remains a vision of hope for a brighter future infused
with the pilgrim spirit of hope, pride, and determination that it was
built upon.&lt;/p&gt; 
				&lt;p&gt;Join us in 2010, as we celebrate this legacy. With a look back at fond memories, and a look forward to new dreams. &lt;/p&gt;</description><category>RACING</category><comments>http://blog.mycasinohostess.com/2010/03/11/suffolk-downs-in-boston-celebrates-75-years-of-racing.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">98b6ec82-64ef-41c4-a3ae-5966feb2ebb8</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:38:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>NEW HAMPSHIRE WOMAN TAKES THE MONEY AND RUNS BACK TO NEW HAMPSHIRE</title><link>http://blog.mycasinohostess.com/2010/03/11/new-hampshire-woman-takes-the-money-and-runs-back-to-new-hampshire.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Casino Hostess</dc:creator><description>&lt;a href="http://www.masslottery.com/news/winners_jul_dec_2009.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;!--

&lt;/strong&gt;–&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Bellagio is proud to announce the appointment of Darius Allyn,&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;a distinguished member of the Court of Master Sommeliers, to the position of Sommelier for Osterio de Circo and Sensi.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Allyn
becomes the fourth on the already impressive team of Master Sommeliers,
joining Joseph Phillips of MICHAEL MINA, Robert Smith of Picasso and
Director of Wine Jason Smith.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This honor further
validates Bellagio’s commitment to excellence and establishes it as the
only hotel in the world with four Master Sommeliers at a single
property.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;“We’re
ecstatic to have Darius as the newest member of our team and that he
brings with him such a rare accomplishment,” Director of Wine Jason
Smith said.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;“With this addition, Bellagio further solidifies its wine program among the finest in the world.”&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Home to 17 sommeliers, Bellagio has become a place where aspiring sommeliers become masters.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Believing
you can’t sell it if you haven’t seen it and tasted it, training at
Bellagio focuses on seminars, frequent tastings and travel.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Considered
the highest honor among wine professionals, the title of Master
Sommelier recognizes the utmost level of wine and spirits knowledge.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Three
levels of training must be completed before pursuing the Master
Sommelier diploma: Introductory Sommelier, Certified Sommelier and
Advanced Sommelier.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Upon completion of these courses, candidates are required to pass a rigorous 3-part exam, testing the extent of their knowledge.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The test consists of a verbal exam, service exam and a blind tasting.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Known for its dedication to personal and attentive wine service, Bellagio caters to a variety of palates, occasions and budgets.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Bellagio
sells more wine than any other hospitality outlet in the country,
maintaining approximately 60,000 bottles, 4,000 selections and 250
wines by the glass at any given time.&amp;nbsp; Bellagio also is able to secure
entire allocations of a particular wine, contributing to the vastness
and exclusivity of the selection. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;In
an effort to create a guest-centric wine experience, diners can request
a bottle of wine from one restaurant at Bellagio while dining at
another.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The sommeliers share resources allowing
them to locate bottles that do not exist in their own cellars and
deliver them to guests within minutes.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;Randy
Morton, president and COO of Bellagio, said, “We will continue to offer
our guests a transcendent wine experience that is accessible,
educational and enjoyable.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;With this latest
accomplishment, Bellagio continues to further its reputation as one of
the world’s premier resort destinations.” &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoBodyTextIndent2" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;# # #&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><category>Vegas 411</category><comments>http://blog.mycasinohostess.com/2010/03/09/bellagio-news.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">8050df80-a45e-4fdf-a505-4095093b533c</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:40:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>MOHEGAN SUN NEWS</title><link>http://blog.mycasinohostess.com/2010/03/09/mohegan-sun-news.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Casino Hostess</dc:creator><description>&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/8/1/4/0/8/191104-180418/RingoStarr.jpg?a=27"&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band Arrive At Mohegan Sun&lt;/h2&gt;

            &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;            &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Gotham winner &lt;strong&gt;Awesome Act&lt;/strong&gt;
was bright and energetic in his stall at Belmont Park Sunday morning
following his first win on dirt as his connections looked towards his
next start along the Triple Crown trail, the Grade 1, $750,000 Wood
Memorial at Aqueduct on April 3.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“He’ll
be back cantering at least by Wednesday, possibly Tuesday,” said Wayne
Tanner, assistant to trainer Jeremy Noseda, who returned to Newmarket
following the colt’s 1&amp;#188;-length victory in the Grade 3 race. “We won’t
do much between now and then … just keep him sound and head to the
Wood.”
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;The
son of 1998 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Awesome Again was impressive
in his first start since finishing fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile
Turf in November, covering the 1 1/16th miles in 1:43.85. The victory
was his second in seven starts, five of which were on grass, with one
third-place finish over an artificial surface at Kempton.

    &lt;/object&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“He’s
a real professional,” said Tanner, who with George Windsor will oversee
the colt’s preparations for the 1 1/8th mile Wood, New York’s last
major prep for the May 1 Kentucky Derby. “He travels for pleasure. If
he’s traveling behind, whoever is in front of him, he’ll pass. It takes
a good one to get him off the bridle.”
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Awesome
Act, whose original flight from England last week was canceled due to
bad weather, finally arrived in New York on Wednesday, and had only a
brief tour around the training track at Belmont Park on Friday after
being released from quarantine prior to the race.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“He basically walked up to the race,” said Tanner. “The two days in quarantine really didn’t bother him at all.”
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr., said Sunday morning he was very happy with the Gotham performance of New York-bred &lt;strong&gt;Yawanna Twist&lt;/strong&gt;, who closed five-wide from sixth to finish a strong second.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;The
Gotham was not only the first stakes appearance and first in open
company for the son of Yonaguska, but it was also his first around two
turns. His first two victories had come against New York-breds by a
combined winning margin of nearly 10 lengths.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“We’re
pleased with him,” said Dutrow by telephone from Florida. “He came out
of the race well and we’re definitely considering the Wood.”
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;As well, trainer Kelly Breen said the Wood was also under consideration for third-place finisher &lt;strong&gt;Nacho Friend&lt;/strong&gt;, who was 1&amp;#190; lengths behind Yawanna Twist.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“We’ll
take it one day at a time with him,” said Breen of Nacho Friend, who
was making his first start since finishing fourth in the Grade 2
Sanford at Saratoga Race Course last July. “The Wood is a possibility
for him.”
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buddy’s Saint&lt;/strong&gt;,
who had a rough trip as the favorite in the Fountain of Youth on
February 20, will breeze five furlongs next Saturday at Gulfstream Park
as trainer Bruce Levine looks to the Wood Memorial for the colt’s next
start.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“He
rebounded nicely,” said Levine of Buddy’s Saint, who was making his
3-year-old debut in the Fountain of Youth. “He’ll breeze Saturday,
probably breeze twice more after that, and return to New York the week
before the Wood.”
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Shut
off going into the first turn and bounced around after encountering
traffic problems, Buddy’s Saint finished ninth behind Eskendereya in
the Fountain of Youth, his first start since an eye-catching 4&amp;#190; -length
victory in the Grade 2 Remsen in November. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wall Street Wonder&lt;/strong&gt;,
the unyielding victor in an exciting renewal of the Grade 3 Toboggan
Stakes, came out of his hard-fought stretch battle with Custom for
Carlos in good order, assistant trainer Tonja Terranova said Sunday.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“He looks great,” Terranova said.  “He’s doing very well this morning and the plan is to point toward the Carter.”

&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Wall
Street Wonder, a 4-year-old City Place colt owned by Stetson Stables
and trained by John Terranova, picked up his first graded stakes win in
the Toboggan, only his fourth start on dirt. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Likewise, Fred “Cappy” Capossela winner &lt;strong&gt;Castaneda&lt;/strong&gt; also appeared to emerge from his front-running triumph in good shape.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“He
came back good, beautiful,” said trainer Gary Contessa. “Everything
looks well. We’re a little up in the air as to his next start. We ran
him back kind of close, but the Bay Shore is not out of the question.”
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Like
Gotham runner-up Yawanna Twist, Castaneda is a New York-bred son of
Yonaguska. Owned by John Moirano, Harold Lerner, LLC and Team Stallion
Racing Corp., the gelding ran off to a 6&amp;#188;-length maiden victory over
the inner track just two weeks ago. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;The
Grade 1, $250,000 Carter Handicap and the Grade 3, $200,000 Bay Shore,
both contested at seven furlongs, will be run as part of the Wood
Memorial undercard at Aqueduct on April 3. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Castaneda is not the only promising 3-year-old Contessa has in the barn and his early-season Triple Crown hopeful &lt;strong&gt;Eightyfiveinafifty&lt;/strong&gt;
is working toward a return to the races following a troubled bid in the
Whirlaway Stakes at Aqueduct on February 6, in which he went wide
around the first turn and ran through the rail before returning to the
barn area. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Eightyfiveinafifty
breezed five furlongs in 1:00.03 over the inner track on Thursday
morning, his first timed workout since the Whirlaway. Harold Lerner’s
colt turned in the fastest of eleven moves at the distance that day. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“He
worked great,” Contessa said. “I really don’t have plans for him. We’re
nominated to everything – the Wood, the Derby Trial, everything – but I
want to work him twice more before I make a decision. That’s his norm
though – he goes in a minute and he does it so easy.” &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Eightyfiveinafifty
owns the second-fastest Beyer Speed Figure among 3-year-olds, a 105 set
when the colt broke his maiden over the inner track on January 9. That
was bested on February 20 when Eskendereya posted a 106 winning the
Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;When &lt;strong&gt;Wollaston Bay&lt;/strong&gt;
returned to the Aqueduct winner’s circle several races after Saturday’s
Fred “Cappy” Capossela Stakes, it marked his first victory since taking
the “Cappy” back in 2007.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“It’s
kind of ironic he won the Fred Capossela three years ago, and then he
comes back three years later and wins on the same day the Cappy is
run,” said trainer Gary Sciacca of the now 6-year-old son of Sea of
Secrets.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;The
Fred Capossela was the lone victory as a 3-year-old for Wollaston Bay,
who would run three more times in 2007 before being repeatedly
sidelined with a series of injuries. He finally returned to the races
in October, 2009, making seven starts in claiming company before
Saturday’s front-running victory.
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;“He’d
come back, get hurt, come back, get hurt again; it’s been one thing
after another with him,” said Sciacca, who trains Wollaston Bay for One
Pond Stable. “But when he’s good, he’s good.”
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font class="bodytext" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"&gt;Overall, Wollaston Bay is 4-2-3 from 18 lifetime starts with earnings of $144,777.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5191" title="Sara Underwood at Tabú Ultra Lounge in MGM Grand" src="http://www.vegasnews.com/wp-content/uploads/sara-underwood-288.jpg" alt="Sara Underwood at Tabú Ultra Lounge in MGM Grand" width="288" height="473"&gt;On Saturday, Sara Underwood, &lt;em&gt;Playboy Playmate of the Year 2007&lt;/em&gt; celebrated her 25th birthday at Tabú Ultra Lounge in MGM Grand.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span id="more-5190"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The gorgeous Playboy bunny arrived at the intimate lounge in a sexy
strappy dress that mesmerized a crowd of onlookers causing a traffic
jam outside of the Vegas hot spot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being the sweetheart that she is, Underwood stopped to sign autographs and pose for pictures with her male admirers.&lt;/p&gt;

Alternative rock band, The Fray will be at the Event Center on
Saturday, April 17. The success of their singles “Over My Head (Cable
Car)” and “How to Save a Life” (both sold over 2 million digital
downloads), brought the band mainstream popularity, catapulting their
debut album &lt;em&gt;How to Save a Life&lt;/em&gt; to the top 15 on the Billboard
200 album charts and top 10 in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand
and the United Kingdom. On July 18, 2006, The Fray released their first
live album: &lt;em&gt;Live at the Electric Factory&lt;/em&gt;. The concert was recorded on May 21, 2006 at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 2009 the band released their second studio album, &lt;em&gt;The Fray&lt;/em&gt;.
The self-titled record featured the hit single, “You Found Me” and
debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 album charts, selling 179,000 copies
in its first week of release. &amp;nbsp;The band’s latest single off &lt;em&gt;The Fray&lt;/em&gt; is titled “Syndicate.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Public Image Ltd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; The Music Box&lt;br&gt; Saturday, May 15 – 9p.m. &lt;br&gt; $55&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Since returning in December 2009 for seven monumental concerts in the United Kingdom–their first shows in 17 years–&lt;em&gt;PUBLIC IMAGE LTD (PiL)&lt;/em&gt; now continue into 2010 with a headlining North American tour which includes The Music Box on Saturday, May 15.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After fronting the &lt;em&gt;Sex Pistols&lt;/em&gt;, John Lydon formed &lt;em&gt;Public Image Ltd&lt;/em&gt; in 1978. With their experimental sound fusing Rock, Dance, Folk, Ballet, Pop and Dub, &lt;em&gt;PiL&lt;/em&gt;
are regarded as producing some of the most diverse music of the 70’s
and 80’s. As a band, the music and vision constantly evolved like no
other, culminating in an incredible live experience. Cited as one of
the most innovative and influential bands in music history, &lt;em&gt;PiL &lt;/em&gt;return
to a country where they enjoyed a special relationship throughout their
career for what are set to be stunning shows. The North American dates
will be followed by a series of high-profile summer European Festival
appearances. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;John Lydon (vocals), Lu Edmonds (guitar), Bruce
Smith (drums) and Scott Firth (bass) earned critical and public acclaim
for their concerts in December 2009, with many British media outlets
championing them as the shows of the year. 2010 sees the 30th
anniversary of the band’s first U.S. tour and also their U.S TV debut
on “American Bandstand,” where singer John Lydon invited the audience
onstage to dance with the band! Host Dick Clark famously introduced
their appearance as “&lt;em&gt;a memorable moment in rock n roll, something special and interesting.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;With a wide and varied back catalogue spanning three decades, &lt;em&gt;Public Image Ltd&lt;/em&gt;
will be showcasing the unique sounds of tracks such as “Public Image,”
“This Is Not A Love Song,” “Rise,” and “Disappointed,” with many
further surprises in store.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;New Kids on the Block&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Event Center &lt;br&gt; Friday, May 28 – 8p.m.&lt;br&gt; ***Saturday, May 29 – 8p.m. &lt;br&gt; $89.50&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The
New Kids on the Block are at it again, announcing a second show at the
Event Center on May 29, and promising to give fans another exciting
year with the release of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Coming Home&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, a
special live DVD, just released on February 2, 2010. The DVD gives fans
a true glimpse at what it took to achieve one of the most successful
and momentous musical reunions in history. After storming onto the Pop
Culture scene again in 2008, the group has continued to entertain and
excite, and promises more huge announcements to come.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; “We’ve
let our fans dictate this whole ride,” said Donnie Wahlberg.&amp;nbsp; “They’ve
been the ones to guide us through this whole journey.&amp;nbsp; They want more,
we’ll give them more, and we’ll enjoy every moment along the way.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The
NKOTB fans’ support is unwavering.&amp;nbsp; The fans continue to want more and
NKOTB will continue to oblige. After the smash success of the first
NKOTB cruise, the band arranged for another ship to set sail in 2010.
The tickets went on sale and were sold out within minutes making it the
fastest cruise charter sell out of all time. The band has also teamed
with I Love All Access to provide a variety of fan ticket packages for
the show, including premium seats, meet and greets, photo ops, parties
and more. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Borgata’s Entertainment Schedule&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jon Stewart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Music Box / March 5 – 8p.m. &amp;amp; 11p.m.&lt;br&gt; Music Box / March 6 – 8p.m. &amp;amp; 11p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; In Chains&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Event Center / March 12 – 8p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JAY-Z&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Event Center / March 13 – 8p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Regan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Event Center / March 20 – 8p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tiesto&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Event Center / March 27 – 10p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frankie Valli&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Music Box / April 2 – 9p.m.&lt;br&gt; Music Box / April 3 – 9p.m.&lt;br&gt; Music Box / April 4 – 7p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;G Love and Special Sauce&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Music Box / April 16 – 9p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Fray***&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Event Center / April 17 – 8p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Citizen Cope&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Music Box / April 23 – 9p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hall &amp;amp; Oates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Event Center / May 8 – 8p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Public Image Ltd***&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Music Box / May 15 – 8p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Kids on the Block***&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Event Center / May 28 – 8p.m.&lt;br&gt; Event Center / May 29 – 8p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jeff Beck&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Music Box / June 5 – 9p.m.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joel McHale&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; Music Box / June 25 – 10p.m.&lt;br&gt; Music Box / June 26 – 8p.m.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Century Gothic; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About Borgata Hotel Casino &amp;amp; Spa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Borgata
