So we here with the JCG and who are you I'm Martin from JCG company and how you JCG this is in Michael Michael and this is a JCG smart home box what is this the smart home smart home i3 model so it has many ethernet one ethernet is like a router yeah why not with OTT with smart home to get a function so it's a TV box it's connected to the TV and you can you can control but you need to link to the net and it's with the Amlogic S905 yeah 64-bit quad core and go in the settings can we go in the settings yeah and this is Android 5.1 right yeah there it is so we can see the version of Android and so what is the function it says worlds first smart home gateway the next future home gateway culture game life so people can use this to control the smart home yeah you're right the control the smart home so my IPP control my IPP control control with a smartphone yeah control yeah and for example there's a you have some smart home devices over here so it can control the smart power yes it's our repeater repeater repeater what is that AP AP yes AP what okay and the router and you also have this design can we look at this one it's the same function yeah can we look around okay yeah and we can look there's all the connector also many ethernet here yes the same all the ethernet and and Amlogic 905 one GB RAM yeah yeah and 8 GB flash yeah right right 3 USB yeah HDMI and is there a price this price now is the 600 600 R&B 600 R&B 100 US dollar is that retail price or distributor for detail detail detail so by MOQ how many PC and 500 and where's your office where you based I first see Shenzhen Shenzhen high technology all right so a lot of R&D a new idea to make no idea new look new design you make this design the design is good like this look like this and this looks like a little bit like a Hank like a tube this and your customer can put the logo change the logo yes it's our logo


All right guys a prep table here That they says not to doing anything They left it plugged in so it's been running And so we're gonna find out is it going refrigerant or what's going on got a leak Is it just really old and packed full of crud? So let's tear into it and see what we got first thing I feel is a lot of heat in here probably the fan running Would that be an insulated box it keeps the heat in as well as keeping it out looks like it's had better days And this one's pressure controlled for temperature which I think Yeah, they're the compressor just clicked All right, isn't feeling very good. Yeah, it went off on thermal. So we're gonna check the start components first thing use your ears Along with your eyes as you can see this thing is just It's been beaten Yeah, that doesn't look very good. We'll go ahead and check it, but I'm not guarantee it's toast That's really surprising But it's all tolerance Usually I'll go ahead and check for leaks because I already know this thing's in bad shape so we got a leaking evaporator on top of a Compressor probably about half toasted and the condenser it's plugged full of grease And it's been left to run cycling off a thermal overload now for a while so I Didn't have quite a big enough capacitor So I grabbed any just in case I got something at least partially probably get them by but And he's gonna have to give her a shot first. There's a good chance that that start relay might be Toast and then blow out my new capacitor that I'm just testing it with so I'm gonna Give it an old shake test and see if it moves back and forth Actually pretty decent unit. I know some of the pizza huts and a few others use them They actually have a dedicated evaporator for the top rail and dedicated one for the bottom Box area which makes it do a lot better job than what most of them do when they try to do one So I mean they're decent unit. I don't care for the pressure control for the temperature control That's kind of a hand the butt sometimes All right, so we had eight point four and one point something so it's not short of the ground Your higher resistance is your start terminal Any out here Been sleeping a little bit Ever since I blew up my resistance gauge here, which I never used it anyway It's not the most accurate thing in the world but I only bought her to Start up compressors and make sure they're working. That was the only real reason for it Go ahead and get the Ant meter on high Volt meter on low capacitors already on my 250 to 380 ready to go says we get her plugged in and got all the terminals on there Get her plugged in I found out the hard way. This does get live when it's energized So I got zapped now. I make sure I don't leave it even close to Possibly a place to Wow, that's loose as a goose So we're a push down our start Now a flip her on and she didn't start You can watch the amp meter go high Capacitors as high as it goes Putting in your start circuit Boom amperage is almost 25 amps. So it's stuck So what it's probably done is it's cycled multiple times over and over now. We can try going reverse Same way We'll rock it And didn't do nothing, but you'll do a lot of times you can sit there and back for back and forth back and forth But the compressors junk. They've got a compressor.  You got a leaking evaporator. So compressor Evaporator probably have other leaks. I wouldn't doubt So is it worth it? No, it's not my opinion, but that's all up to them So I'm gonna try for giggles just see if I can break it loose other than that. This one's probably done You can see She shook one direction. She'd shake the other. She's locked up.  There's no accidentals I'll probably remove our terminals This compressor is toast get the butter out. She's done. All right, went ahead and disconnected the compressor Miring that out of off that way if somebody comes in and doesn't know what's going on price plug it in We don't have any shorts But that that's gonna wrap this one up here. I got to call the customer and tell them the great news and let them Figure out what they want to do next


When organisations enter into strategic planning, they conduct different types of relevant research and analysis. As part of this process, marketers talk about collecting secondary and primary data. Let us list the learning goals for this video. Firstly, the goal is to establish a connection between primary and secondary research and the rest of the research, analysis and strategic planning process. Secondly, the goal is to gain an understanding of what primary and secondary data is, the pros and cons of each and how we can conduct these two types of research. So let us begin. When organisations enter into strategic planning, they conduct different types of research and analysis. They might conduct both secondary and primary research. They would consider using qualitative and or quantitative research and different survey types. They would check the quality of their research data by critically applying the terms validity and reliability. The gathered data might be used in a process of conducting different analysis. Internal analysis, which could include a look at the company accounts, current business model, core competencies and others. And external analysis such as PEST, Poros V forces, competitor analysis and others. And ultimately they might summarise all their research in a SWOT analysis. This might be followed by a TOWS model in order to identify several strategic options to choose between. This will enable them to make informed strategic decisions about which direction to take. Primary and secondary research is what we will address in this video. So what is primary and secondary research and how could we go about collecting these two types of data? Let us use an example. This café is located in a large city close to a busy high street. It is called the French Café and it specialises in serving high quality cakes and desserts. The French Café is experiencing increasing competition from both existing competitors and new cafes opening up all around the area. Motivated by his curiosity to find out more about the competitors, the owner of the French Café has decided to do some research. So what kind of information could the French Café collect? They could access business databases to find details about each competitor, such as their financial results. And some commercial industry databases open for more detailed company information at a fee. To compare with their own internal situation, they could gather information from their own financial accounts. They could visit the competitors' websites, social media sites and perform online searches to collect information about the different competitors' online presence and communication style. They could also access TripAdvisor or similar platforms to find out how customers review the competitors. We call this type of research secondary or desk research. So let us take a look at the characteristics of secondary data. Secondary data has not been created or published for the benefit of the French Café's competitor analysis. It has originally been created for a general purpose, aimed at a variety of people or businesses. Secondary data is already out there, just waiting to be found and explored. The benefits of secondary data is that it is usually relatively quick, easy and low cost to obtain. However, the disadvantage of secondary data is that the information is not targeted directly at French Café's specific information needs. Now let us imagine that French Cakes would like to obtain some information which is targeted specifically at their own information needs. They could design a suitable questionnaire and interview customers. They could invite customers for a focus group interview. They could set up specific goals in their Google Analytics to track on their website how users interact with their online booking feature. And they could track social media interactions. They could also carry out other observations of customers' behavior, both on their website and in their café. This type of research is called primary or field research. So let us take a look at what characterizes primary data. Primary data is generated specifically for us and for our specific purpose. Primary data is not already out there in the form that we require it. We could argue that the online behavioral data already exists. But French Cakes is now setting up specific filters to track and show an exact behavior. The benefit of primary data is clearly that it is targeted specifically to our individual needs. However, the disadvantage is that it is relatively time consuming, complex to carry out and therefore also relatively costly. So what is best? Secondary or primary research. In our example, French Cakes would have to decide whether or not the secondary information they could gather would be sufficient to make decisions upon. Or whether they are in need of more targeted information. A need for targeted information would create the need for conducting primary research. In that case, French Cakes would have to consider the different kinds of information they could collect by a primary research. And whether or not they have both the time, the money, the people and the skills required to carry out relevant primary research. No two cases are the same, but if time, money and competencies allow, a combination of secondary research and carefully designed primary research is often the optimal solution. As marketers, we would usually recommend conducting the secondary research first and primary second. This is to make sure we spend our resources wisely. We have now established a connection with the rest of the research, analysis and strategic planning process. And subsequently we have used an example to illustrate what primary and secondary research is. We have highlighted the pros and cons of each and how we can conduct these two types of research. If you want to learn more about research, analysis and strategic planning or about other marketing related subjects, then I suggest that you watch additional videos on this channel. To further support and substantiate your learning, I recommend that you read Market Research and Statistics by Forbes and others, as well as Principles and Practices of Marketing by Jobba. And if you are able to read Danish, International Market Sphering by Rullihe Andersen and others. My name is Tina Wade. Thank you for watching.


Well, it's a great pleasure to be back, and thank you very much, and thank you for people turning up. I chose what I thought was possibly the most boring title you could imagine, which sort of setting up the external action service part two, just to see whether anyone would actually turn up. And thank you for rising to the challenge. In fact, it's, I think, nine months since I was last year, and I was trying to think if there were sort of jokes about gestation, but then I was reminded of a very good phrase of the late Robin Fogarty, who used to say that you could compare the European Union to the mating of two elephants. Everything takes place at an extremely high level. Even the smallest advance is accompanied by extremely loud trumpeting, and it takes at least two years to get a result. So maybe I should come back in two years rather than nine months. But what I wanted to do today, perhaps, was to try to talk a little bit more about some of the policy challenges which we face. I mean, I'll take you up to date on some of the organizational issues also, but in particular, where do we think we're going in terms of closer and a more consistent European foreign policy? The events in the first decade of the millennium have shaken the foundations of the global order. The tragedy of September 11th, and perhaps more importantly, the legacy of September 15th, 2008, among others, have triggered a tectonic shift in world politics. I remember Tony Blair saying he thought the real beginning of the millennium was 9-11. I sometimes think the real beginning of the new millennium may have been 1508, but we will see. The preeminence of America is no longer assured, and neither can we say that China or another rising plow is really ready to take its place. And the Euro crisis, as we know, has created a sense of fragility about Europe's place in the world. In this increasingly competitive and uncertain world, we risk losing influence as Europeans, both as individual countries and collectively, unless we can act more coherently, both internally and externally. And the new geopolitical landscape is characterized by power shifts and global realignments, a process which the recent economic and financial crisis has accelerated. So I think that we have a choice of facing the gale force winds of change alone, or we can seek strength in numbers. The Lisbon Treaty created a legal basis for more joined up foreign policy through the creation of the double-hatted, high-representative vice president role, supported by an embryonic diplomatic service, the external action service. The decision of July 2010 gave us the basic parameters of the new service. But it didn't spell out in detail how to go about doing it. And we've had to fill in the gaps ourselves since. When the EAS was launched in January, we started on a shoestring. But we managed to create a provisional organizational structure in which we put together its constituent bits, three services with different institutional cultures, and to adopt common information technology, security, and human resource procedures. The banal and sometimes boring daily stuff of any bureaucratic organization, but without which it's very difficult to deliver on the political objectives. We've negotiated a major relocation deal for our Brussels headquarters and launched a major recruitment process. We will move into a new building at the end of this year, formerly the Joyeux Entrée building, for those of you who know it, on the angle of the Rampouin-Schumann neatly positioned between the Berliment on one side and the Justice Lipsis on the other. And slightly architecturally better than the Justice Lipsis, and not quite as architecturally elegant as the Berliment. So that probably situates us in the right balance. This year we processed nearly 9,000 applications for 181 vacant posts, of which 66 were management posts, either in headquarters or in delegations. And a full 66% of all these posts have been filled by member-states diplomats, putting us well on the way to having member-states diplomats make up one-third of the entire EAS staff by 2013, which is what the decision recommended. I spent the best part of the last four months of the summer in interview panels, and while it's a rewarding experience, it's also a fairly grueling experience. So the best part of the heavy lifting is done, and that no millennium bugs have happened is already, I think, a major achievement. And the organization is, I think, on the way to setting itself on a firm footing. But the remaining tasks are the most challenging, because we've now entered the second stage of setting up the service, and we have to manage our own budget and take effective responsibility for the management of our staff. The challenge from now on is to fine-tune the organization to make sure that we've got it right. In some cases, there may be further adjustments to ensure that we match human resources to changing policy needs. We've already anticipated some of these changes by reshuffling staff in headquarters to strengthen the Middle East and North Africa Department for obvious reasons, because this has coordinated our response to the Arab Spring. And the ultimate aim, of course, is to be able to deliver effectively on our policy priorities, that is why we exist. Last January, I outlined Cathy Ashton's key policy priorities, our neighborhood, strategic partners, and security crisis management. In a broader perspective, these priorities haven't changed, but the eruption of the Arab Spring was a watershed for the high-representative vice president and for the EAS in particular, as it has tested the readiness and resolve of our young organization. Better to address these challenges, we strengthened our Middle East and North Africa Department, and we've appointed a special representative for the Southern Mediterranean, who is tasked to respond proactively to the developments in our southern neighborhood. It hasn't been easy to use a motoring analogy we've had to fix the car while the engine was running. Yet I believe we have risen to the occasion. We have reacted quickly to events and played our institutional role in support of Cathy Ashton as both a policy and a donor coordinator. Our value-added has focused on democratic transformation and economic development, involvement with civil society and development solidarity, as set out in our offer of a partnership for democracy and shared prosperity with the new emerging countries. We are also paying particular attention to the specific needs of our southern neighbors, as we can no longer approach each country through the same policy lens. To start the process, an EU Tunisia task force has been established. The first meeting took place last week in Tunis, on this week in Tunis, and spelled out unequivocally the EU and the international community's support to Tunisia's transition towards a free democratic and inclusive society. A strong focus was given to the economic transition challenges and opportunities, including concrete actions aiming in particular at assisting the recovery of frozen assets, boosting foreign direct investment and job creation. We have also supported the wider international effort through the use of sanctions against the Gaddafi regime in Libya and the Assad regime in Syria. The setback in New York on the UN security resolution on Syria is regrettable, but European diplomacy will continue to try to find ways of exerting the necessary pressure. On Libya, the EAS has led a diplomatic process which has resulted in a common position on Gaddafi, as well as recognition for the TNC. We've also taken part in the contact group in Libya and the Cairo group in the latter group, as the EAS is the only European participant. Still within the region, Cathy Ashton has been leading a tremendous effort on the Middle Eastern peace process, as was reflected in the UNGA ministerial week and in particular in the contribution of the EU to the Quartet Statement of 23rd September. A meeting of the Quartet will be hosted by the EU in Brussels this coming weekend, showing Cathy Ashton's continued lead in this area. She's also in the lead on the Iranian nuclear issue, not only on behalf of the EU, but also on behalf of China and Russia. And in the margins of the UN General Assembly, she provided over a meeting of the so-called E3EU-plus-3, which confirmed the unity and determination of that framework. There was a clear understanding that Iran has to engage more seriously in discussions on concrete confidence-building measures and that real progress has to be achieved if another round of talks with Iran should take place. Even as we reacted to events in the southern neighborhood, we have not neglected the eastern neighborhood. We've helped the eastern partners over the last decades to progress towards democracy, and the eastern partnership has reinvigorated our support to this region. However much remains to be done, and we've seen some regrettable steps backwards in some countries, which are still struggling with the transition towards democracy. We are extremely preoccupied with the case of political prisoners in Belarus and the sentencing or potential sentencing of Julia Timoshenko in the Ukraine. How we articulate our relations with these countries will be crucial in months to come, and this was a very important issue discussed at the eastern partnership summit held last week in Warsaw. All leaders, with the exception of Belarus, agreed to take the work forward in the years to come on the basis of a roadmap. The Western Balkans poses a particular challenge insofar as we can help resolve outstanding tensions between Kosovo and Serbia, which regrettably have intensified in recent weeks, and more generally in consolidating stability in the rest of the Balkans. And we will continue to pay particular attention to Georgia and the South Caucasus. These two priorities point to the continued significance of our neighborhood as the most important theme in our external relations, and hence the importance of driving forward the implementation of our neighborhood package set out in the May communication, presented jointly by the High Representative and the Commission. And of course, we are also intensifying our relations with Turkey, which is becoming an ever more important actor in foreign policy, especially in the region. We have also intensified our relations with strategic partners, whose support and close cooperation is essential if we want to address issues such as security, trade or climate change. The European Council conclusions of September 2010, asked Cathy Ashton to evaluate the prospects of relations with our strategic partners. The driving force of this exercise is to beef up the way we conduct our diplomacy by focusing more on core priorities, seeking greater policy and institutional coherence, and focusing on delivering more results. The transatlantic relationship is strong, not least due to the great relationship between Cathy Ashton and Hillary Clinton. There's lots of good work going on in specific issues, including Iran and also, for instance, on energy. We also have deepened the relationship with China by establishing a strategic dialogue with State Councilor Daibing Wu and stepping up contacts with the Chinese light leadership. I'm sure my good colleague, Vyrel Istokoyev, will be happy to go into more detail on that when he speaks to you tomorrow. We have a broad and very busy agenda with Russia that spans all areas of community competence, trade, mobility, energy, as well as political issues, and the main South Caucasus transnistrium. And we will have an important summit with Russia coming up before the end of the year. We've also just kicked off a reflection at ministerial level on how to improve political relations with India, Brazil and South Africa. Clearly, the only way for Europe to remain influential in the changing global landscape is for the EU to articulate value-added proposals which our partners increasingly appreciate. China is not so much having a single message but having a single voice but having a single message. And this is the big challenge in our relations with these countries is to try to make sure that our member states speak from the same hymnship cheat also in their bilateral contacts. In the area of security and crisis management we have also been extremely active. Whether in Libya, the Horn of Africa or Afghanistan, people around the world look to Europe to prevent conflicts and manage crises. And Tom Von Ash from the military staff was here and spoke to you a few weeks ago on this aspect. And as the U.S. gradually reduces its presence overseas there is going to be increased pressure for the EU to shoulder a bigger share of the burden in the security field. This is a clear reality. And Secretary Gates departing speech to NATO was a clear message to all of us. To this end we need a more integrated EU crisis response method that brings together humanitarian disaster relief and crisis management capabilities. This is also linked to peace building and security policy particularly conflict prevention where the EU has developed successful tools such as the CSDP missions. One of them where Ireland contributed massively in Chad and provided the operation commander to the great credit of the country. Ultimately we want to flesh out the EU's capacity as a peace builder through the triple areas of diplomacy, crisis management and development initiatives. Two areas we're drawing attention to would be include Afghanistan, the question of piracy off the coast of Somalia where the EU presence will become increasingly important in 2012. Particularly as this piracy problem acquires a new dimension where the pirates are no longer just seizing boats but are now actually seizing and killing civilians. The priorities I've outlined of course serve to give us guidance but our work doesn't end there. The EAS has also inherited a built in agenda which covers virtually every country in the world and touches on the external aspects of community policies from development to energy policy to transport to migration to trade. And for example, Africa remains a major focus of our financial and diplomatic effort and presents a number of very important challenges. Setting up the EAS also means working with the other institutions to develop joined up policies. I talked about the changes in institutional politics that have changed post Lisbon in my last address. Setting up the EAS part one for those of you who missed it. The single biggest challenge perhaps is learning how to support the high representative Vice President in her role as chair of the Foreign Affairs Council which was another important innovation. A job previously held by the rotating presidency. We're doing everything on the Foreign Affairs Council from agenda setting to the press conference at the end. Setting the agenda in particular is a crucial task. We have set tentative agendas until mid-2012 through an internal planning process and something the rotating presidency used to do. Of course the final agenda is fixed by Kathy Ashton based on her own priorities and on Member State's advice who can also add points in core care. This has been a learning experience for us all. And I have to say as a an EU official, former commission official who was sometimes a bit skeptical about the role of the rotating presidency. Not that I'm having to do all the things the presidency did. I have a new respect for the way in which presidencies manage some of these difficult issues. I also, I think I said this last time I have great respect for the fact that they only had to do it for six months and then could take a break. We don't have that luxury I'm afraid. Our delegations have also very successfully made the transition from commission to EU delegations with huge cooperation from the Member States in the different capitals. Taking over the presidency role and working closely with Member States embassies on the ground. Frankly, I'm convinced that the network of EU delegations is one of the most precious assets of the external action service. And it is clear that one of our challenges is radically to transform the nature of the relationship between those delegations and HQ which existed when they were commission delegations and therefore a relatively marginal part of the commission's work to the situation where as part of the external action service the delegations are absolutely central to what we do and getting the two-way interaction between headquarters and the delegations right, both in terms of policy shaping and policy execution will be a major challenge. Finally, despite some of the things you hear we have established good working relations with the commission including how to solve joint policy, programming of EU funds and management of delegations. There are occasional bureaucratic argy-bargy that goes on that will come as no surprise but I must say in general we are establishing very good working relations in the interests of serving Europe. The establishment of a common EU diplomatic service is a long-term project and we need time to establish the trust and smooth working relations with Member States who feel strongly that foreign affairs will remain a key part of their sovereign identity and of which the EU is only one, important but not exclusive dimension. And of course I do think it would be deeply unfair to judge the overall success of this project on the basis of only our first nine months at work. Having said that, I would like to just point to some important successes which I think illustrate that we are already demonstrating that we can make a difference. In the Balkans where we have helped maintain stability, diffuse tension and push forward a pro-EU agenda, our diplomatic efforts are delivering a facilitated dialogue with Serbia and Kosovo promoting stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina where Cathy Ashton was personally instrumental in calling off a controversial referendum on the Bosnian state court and prosecutor. In Kosovo we have helped dispense justice and provide stability through the ULEX mission which is handed down over 223 verdicts in a wide range of cases including corruption and organized crime. The European neighborhood, we have fast-tracked EU funds to back our effort to support democracy as well as economic and social development and in particular following an initiative by Cathy Ashton we facilitated the disbursement of additional money from the EIB and the EBOD helping to leverage funds from the private sector. In crisis response, particularly in Haiti but now in the southern neighborhood the EU is acting in a much more joined up way and for the first time we are a single coordinator of much of the activity. I've already mentioned the fight against piracy through a series of actions off the coast of Somalia and on land we've helped secure shipping lanes from the threat of piracy which represents a massive and growing threat to commercial shipping, aid delivery and to the security of eastern and southern Africa. And the Middle Eastern peace process where there is now a much more central role for the EU frankly a radically more active role than I have ever seen in many many years where we are not only a payer but also a player. Others are looking closely at what we are doing and want to follow our approach and this represents a dramatic change. We've also continued to work to support Palestinian state building to the point where they are assessed as having the right institutions in place. We've done important work with the Palestinians and the Israelis to open crossings further and there has been some progress there even if perhaps not enough. And finally, second time lucky the adoption on the 3rd of May of the resolution by the UN General Assembly giving the EU special rights of expression to take into account our new structures was a diplomatic victory. The first time round didn't go so well this time we had 108 votes in favour and I think two abstentions. Once again a huge effort by Kathy Ashton who spent two days in New York at a crucial moment and this shows I think once again there is a capacity to be diplomatic a diplomatic force. So I hope in this you get some idea of the breath of the policy challenges that we face of the fact that I do believe we have made some progress of course on all of these issues you could say yes but you haven't solved the problem this is true. I'm not sure whether diplomacy actually exists completely to solve problems or rather to manage them but I do think that this is a 5 to 10 maybe even 15 year project where the challenge will be to build a professional diplomatic service at the service of the high representative vice president which can deliver on the extent to which member states wish and choose to have common positions and to have common objectives. Of course it's a bit like the dance of Echternacht it's three steps forward two steps back and sometimes the press talks more about three steps back than the three steps forward but for me the direction of travel is absolutely clear and I'm quite certain that if I come back in ten years time for the setting up of the external action service part three we will be astounded by what has been achieved because the global pressures the budgetary pressures on foreign ministries on defense ministries all lead us in the same direction that if we want to be effective and if we want to be cost effective we have to do more and more things together and I believe that the external action service will provide the platform for implementing that increasing political will on the part of our member states so thank you very much and I'd be happy to answer any questions


Continue our countdown to the Moutier Mile race day, scheduled for this Saturday at Kymanna Spark. Today, we'll zone in on the unique experience so that patrons and punters are likely to experience. With the Moutier Mile expected to present a majestic horse racing experience, in a minute we'll bring you up to speed with some of the stellar horse racing personalities who are expected to be in attendance. However, for our regional viewers who may be wondering what exactly is the Moutier Mile, it's an event dubbed the richest horse race in the history of the Caribbean. Boasting a substantial purse of US$150,000 or US$22.5 million, the event will be contested over a mile and is restricted to horses, three years old and upward. Joining us to continue our look ahead to Saturday's massive race day is Solomon Sharp, the Executive Chairman of Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited. They are the promoters of horse racing in Jamaica. It's a great day to talk to you. I love the Moutier Mile, we know you love the Moutier Mile, Lance is getting his clothes ready for the Moutier Mile and the purse, lots of money. Yeah, big money, big money on offer. Not just the purse for this race, but we have the chairman's plate, we also have the bruise on the loose trophy and as I treat today participating horsemen, we topped up the purses. So the minimum purse that they're racing for on this Saturday is US$1 million. Oh wow, that's... And we have 11 races, so do the math, you know? Yeah, it's a lot of money Solomon and you know, you have to be thankful for your sponsors. I saw of course for the launch when we did the draw, you know, you spoke about the sponsors and I think you know, it's important that you recognize them because when we talk about money without these partnerships, this Moutier Mile will be impossible. Yeah, well we have to really thank the main sponsors, the Moutier family for coming up big. We had to kind of hold them back because they wanted to go a little bit more aggressive and we said, hey, you know, give us some time to grow, you know? We can't...  But we're very happy. I think the trajectory that we're on right now, we expected to be here on year three. We did expect a foreign horse. We weren't absolutely sure that we would have gotten a foreign jockey because we knew that we're on a very competitive weekend, pretty much opening weekend at Gulf Stream Park. Championship meet, yeah. Yeah, and it's the last big meet at Aqueduct. So with the Cigar Mile and the other stakes races on, we're pretty close to landing in Castellano and he said that he had to work the Bradcox two-year-old and he says, boy, I'm sorry guys. This horse worked too sweet. Now, you don't give up a two-year-old right now because that's a potential Derby or Oaks ride for next year, which we went to Louisiana for Ray Lou Gutierrez. He has the same agent as Julien Le Peru. He wanted to come, but it's the claiming crown at Louisiana down. So we're competing with way bigger money in North America. So Julien Le Peru had a quiet weekend, so to speak, and then he's going to leave Kentucky and he's going to ride in Auckland with Mike Peake, who has sent out four horses to Auckland. So that meet doesn't start until the eighth. He's going to be away from his family. So he's bringing his family for a mini-vacation. So we got lucky, right? Shane Ellis has been hanging out with Daisu Fukumoto and he's like, Shane, you know, vibes, you know, more of a Jamaican. And then here he is. And he has enjoyed it from being here. The Fox crew came in on Monday night and Andy Serling was on a luxury yacht today and fell asleep. And he says, there's nothing greater than this. I'm in paradise watching racing from New York. So he was on his phone watching races at Aqueduct. And then meanwhile the guys are in the studio. They're jealous. But they did two features today on us. The output coverage, yeah. Yeah, America's there at the racing. So things are at us at FIVA pitch and it's just fantastic. So we've ended up, no, in year two, having a bigger international event. So this makes my job a little harder. You have to up the ante next year. But we immediately go back to the drawing board and, you know, set an eye around, do we go on the following weekend and do we get our own weekend now? So we were piggybacking on the on the cigar mile. But, you know, we're the star of the show because it's the cigar mile, then Mute mile closes the show. And then at the chairman's plate live also at two or two. Yeah, you mentioned the Mute family and the gratitude for them being being sponsors. They were owners of the outstanding horse Bruce on the loose, who was a Jamaica bread horse that went to Trinidad and Tobago and won multiple races, multiple track records and so on. So I think our Trinidadians would be looking on that Bruce on the loose race as well because there is an attachment from them on the horse and the family. Yeah, well, John O'Brien, if you're watching, I know I still have an outstanding phone call. I've just been very busy but I'll call you right after this. Yeah. So we are looking for a big day. You mentioned the fact that the Aqueduct coverage will embrace what happens at the Mute mile on Saturday. And that is an advertising dollar that is immeasurable, isn't it? So I spoke to the stakeholders three, four years ago. Yes. I told them that I had a business plan. I told them that we had big things in store. And this is just a part of that delivery. When you're growing a product like this and I was at the Asian racing conference. And so there's Australia there, there's Japanese there, there's a Hong Kong, three big markets. And everybody was there that's lapping up everything that they had to offer. And one of the things that is spoke about was global liquidity. How do you export your product and mop up what there is? So some of these places are lucky that it's house country, in Australia there's a ministry, right? Or a minister of house racing, right? On this portfolio. Specifically, it says horse racing and tourism, right? So we had to look and said, okay, how can we learn from all of this and make it better? And the sirlin spoke about at the draw, he spoke about how fantastic the Jamaican audiences at Aqueduct, how he would love to get them more and more at Saratoga. And we have them all here. I mean, they just have a fraction of what we have here. So we said, you know what? We're going to make the ground floor free and we're going to get everybody in and they're going to have a fantastic time. Yeah, there was a couple of decades ago, Solomon, a move to develop a West Indies Thoroughbred Racing Association because you've just touched on something that I think is very important because when these overseas people, we saw Peter Yellow from Goldstream Park coming to the Caribbean a couple of weeks ago and the sirling you just mentioned from New York and how much he's embracing the Caribbean product. Now today is the 57th anniversary of Barbados' independence and decades ago, the Coxburg Gold Cup, which changed sponsorship to become the Sandilane Barbados Gold Cup, had this kind of feel about it. There were world famous people who converged on Barbados that first Saturday in March for the Gold Cup. Frankie Dettori, Top Jockies that you read about on you see on television. They were right here in the Caribbean. Are we short changing ourselves in what a horse racing product can be for the Caribbean? Obviously I'm seeing the moote mile breaking some ground here, but it just seems to me that this is an untapped industry. Absolutely. So years ago we had a conversation with some guys from Solution and they wanted just that. And we said, yes, we're ready. We want to be a part of it and we're ready to host it. We're not sure with COVID, we stopped our guns. So we're ready. Barbados has added lights. We're potentially looking to add lights as well. And the guys from Trinidad, they want to come, but I'm not sure what's stopping them. TNT's industry is struggling at the moment. So they've only had 12 race meets for the year. They're having one this Saturday, so we're going to be showing our race there. And hopefully this will be the catalyst for us to come together. So we can help them and they don't have to run 100 meets for the year. So what can actually happen?  We're ready to help them. And they kind of reached out and then they didn't happen, but I'm waiting for a time, but it's so easy because they can structure their race meets, right? And then they'll bring the best crop of their horses or whoever they feel like they should ship. They ship these horses in for our version of Saratoga. So October, November, December, the racing is very rich.  You're going to get a few stakes races. We just made another change to the calendar and the horsemen will be notified shortly. We're moving the Ian Levy from this year to next year. But it's on December 30 to January 1. So we're moving it two days. So when we looked at the calendar, we said, you know what, let's give them a good race to start here with a grade one. Plus it gives them two days to recover. So they're going to go on my island Saturday. It gives them two more days to recover to go eight and a half furlongs because we pretty much want the whole field to come back. Hint, hint, it's on a Monday. And I'm working on some more plans for that. Yeah, well Monday is for the most part a non-competitive TV day because most U.S. tracks don't have racing on a Monday. It's a down day for the big tracks. For the big tracks, yes. And I'll show you a video after with Kendrick Hamou said, hey, I want to come to Jamaica, pool party, blah, blah, blah. So I don't know. All right, let's get back quickly to the Mute mile here, Solomon, because we were talking off here just now. Last year is inaugural staging of the Mute mile. We're a furlong and a half from the finish. About seven or eight horses could have won the event. That's how exciting it was. Excessive force finishing fast on the inside, on the rail with Bev Harvey to get the victory there. And we are anticipating the possibility based on the competitive look of the field that we could have a similar Mute mile here. We're a furlong from home and many horses in with a shot. So usually when we're on six furlongs, you'll get a 22-44 pace. I think this mile race is going to be a 22-44, 1-9. I think they're going to end up in about 1-37. So is it going to be one of those horses staying on at the front? Or will it be one of those horses running on? And when you look on this stellar field, any one of these horses could stay there. They're super fit at the moment. I keep making a joke with the connections of Mahogany boy. He made us have to wear an extra race to qualify. And I'm like, who told you that the horse didn't want to run? Did the horse tell you he didn't want? Maybe this is a tonic that he needs. So when I look on this field, I mean, it can go any which way. Yeah, talk to me about a rough entry, having a stellar career in the U.S. and coming now in Jamaica. And you spoke about the different people coming in. Julian Leperu will be at the helm. But this horse, I think it makes a beautiful story. Oh, yeah, so the better part of the story, this is the first time Rohan Crichton was born and bred in Jamaica, cut his teeth on the back stretch of Jamaica. This is the first time he's had a trainer's license in Jamaica and went to Sadler Horse. Oh, wow. And he was one of those that probably used to go to school in the morning without the race paper in his back pocket. So he's coming back and he has wanted to support this event. He has supported me a lot on this journey. He's given me a lot of advice. And he said, you know, I think we make a lot of good things have not came on us back. And whenever the time comes, I'm going to support you. So he supported us. It has an American, another American owner, but it has another Jamaican owner, Dennis Smith. And they've decided that they're going to support this card, Rohan call Irad Ortiz first and says, Irad, I need you to come and ride this horse because he has won on it before. Because Irad, I need you to come and ride this horse and the cigar mile was Trump's. But since I'm very interested in it, so they're not just coming here to participate. They're coming in here to win. And there's been a lot of rumors on the back stretch because they have a different training style. And over here, they're not running. And it's a whole bunch of fun and games and all the shenanigans with what is going on and who is working well and who doesn't look good. But again, different running styles. When you look at that, Mahogany looked at we know. And then here came everybody else out of the blue. Yeah, there was Duke, the gray horse coming up on the outside to snap second. Duke is also in the race on Saturday. About six or seven of the horses who ran in the Mute mile last year are back this year. But you talk about rough entry. And this is a horse that is coming to Jamaica in the pink of form. He has two wins and four second place finishes in seven starts this year at Goldstream Park in Florida. And his most recent victory, I think coming in September. September, right before shipping. Apart from the fact that he is shipping and there may be an element of acclimatizing and the difference in the race track conditions. But there is every indication that this horse is a high quality horse. And I was a little startled when I checked the race book today to see his morning line odds at 10 to 1. Well, I don't make morning line odds. And the horses don't read race books. No, they don't. So the horse doesn't know what the odds are. Julien Le Peru will be coming to the track on Saturday morning. I don't think he has any interest in reading the race book. And he says, the agent said, boss, where can I get the videos of the horses that I'm riding? So I said, well, you can find rough entry really easy. I said, no, no, no, we watched that one already. So everybody's coming well prepared. That's rough entry. And that kind of looks like, oh, the finish is going to be for the Mute Amal, about six horses across the track. A lot of favorites. The morning line favorite, according to the track and booze book, is Atomica at three to one horse of the year. Five race winning streak at the moment. And disappointed last year, didn't run that well, blew the turn, and finished ninth. Gaira Sobrati told us this week that he is confident that Atomica will run a significantly better race than she ran last year. But think about it. Last year, she had a very tough campaign. Yes. So she had her triple crown, and then she came back. And then she was super fit that he had to put her in a race. She blew them away going six for her lungs. She got roughed up in the gold cup, but she doesn't have that coming in. So he picked her races coming in, and she's coming in super, super, super fit. And a lot of the real birds are telling me that Atomica is a totally different horse this year. A lot of the real birds are telling me she's my destiny is a totally different race horse this year, and how they're training, and like what work was done on this horse, and that horse, and all my really have things that you hear about her. Although she's my destiny is primarily a speed horse. She has already won twice over a mile, which is Saturday's Rich Mute in a good times. So I think maybe six or seven months ago, people were not considering she's my destiny as a top entry for the Mute mile. But in recent months, her performance is including her gold cup victory. Yeah, right here. Running on. Just suggest coming from behind here to color mahogany. A tough mahogany. Yeah, I'll be getting a lot of weight from mahogany. Mahogany carry 126 pounds here, and just didn't hold on. But these two, mahogany on the inside, she's my destiny on the outside, finishing one, two in the gold cup, are expected to be in the frame in the Mute mile on Saturday. Absolutely. And then what we saw with mahogany, when he ran last year, he stopped here. Yes. But right three weeks later, and Ian Levy, they were playing with his mane, and he ran on for the victory. Yes. Well, Salomon, we want to thank you so much for stopping by. I know how good the Mute mile is. And for those of our viewers who has missed it, they don't want to miss this year. No. So we can watch it on Sportsmax, right? Yes. Very much so. If you're not here, you can also watch it on Fox, et cetera. Yeah, and post time will be 445 local time. Sharp. 445 in the Eastern Caribbean, yeah. And we will be on time. Yes. We'll be on time, looking forward. No delays, sharp. Yeah, no delays. Yes. All right, well, let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
