jockey ryan moore sent homecoming queen to the front immediately on leaving the stalls , and it might have been thought that she was making the pace for her more fancied stable companion , the champion two - year - old filly of 2011 , maybe .
my horse is a nice stayer , he ' s done nothing but improve , so we ' re looking forward to it .
the horse became wedged under the stalls in a freak incident that came one month after two horses were killed in the grand national at aintree .
two years later an imposing son of danehill , a horse standing his second season at coolmore stud , was chosen as zarinia ' s mate .
however , as far as camelot is concerned , a dark shadow now lurks below him on the leader - board for the horse of the year and that is frankel , whose second group one victory of the season was achieved in sensational style in the queen anne .
but the police horse was quick to dish out justice , kicking her to the ground with its back leg a split - second after the slap .
no horse has attempted the feat since the vincent o ' brien - trained nijinsky , who , like the unbeaten camelot , was housed at ballydoyle .

gosden said :
thought worthy has been fine since york where he showed he ' s a very game horse . he ' s from a family of tough staying horses .
the couple had three children : henry , carolyn and george – the current earl of carnarvon , who the queen was pictured holding at his christening .
the pair bonded over a shared love of horses and in 1969 the queen appointed porchey as racing manager , a role he held until his death .
like camelot , homecoming queen is owned and bred by the coolmore team in ireland . she is a half - sister to their great champion dylan thomas by their young sire holy roman emperor , and this was her 13th racecourse start – it took her eight attempts to break her maiden last year as a two - year - old .
the news understands that preparations are being made for an arrival on friday – but this is not fixed in stone as poor weather could postpone the homecoming until later on in the window .

last year’s horse of the year frankel does not feature at the top of the table despite a successful romp in the lockinge but , as yet , he has scored fewer points than one or two other colts and the gelding cirrus des aigles , who have been much busier . that should change when he has run in the queen annne stakes at at royal ascot .
he ' s the sort of horse that needs to get out and roll rather than sit and wait for a sprint home and that ' s what a draw like that is made for .

the race was delayed by half an hour as the charlie hills - trained gray pearl went down in the starting stalls and got trapped . she was removed in a horse ambulance but was later put down .

he ' s very well and will have enjoyed the rain that came on wednesday . he ' s an improving young horse , but he ' s got another huge mountain to climb .
although mick channon was not immediately impressed by queen ' s logic (
she was just a lump of horse flesh
) , she soon showed herself to be a potentially useful filly in home exercise gallops , and was campaigned ambitiously from the start . [ 5 ] queen ' s logic never ran in a maiden race , instead making her debut against more experienced fillies , including two winners , in a minor stakes race at newbury in may 2001 . after starting slowly , she raced behind the leaders before accelerating into the lead and winning
readily

caia , like many teenage girls , had also hoped to be queen and this was her moment . but she turned to principal mike alba and said ,
am i allowed ?

at three , queen ' s logic was aimed at the 1 , 000 guineas at newmarket . her preparation race for the classic was the group three fred darling stakes at newbury . starting at odds of 1 / 3 , queen ' s logic took the lead a furlong out and won comfortably by one and three quarter lengths from roundtree . [ 13 ] although her performance was described as
fine , rather than scintillating
, her price shortened even further to 7 / 4 . [ 14 ]
it was hoped that queen ' s logic could recover in time for a run in the sussex stakes , but the coughing returned and channon decided that
it wouldn ' t be fair
to continue her training . her retirement was announced in july .
after several false starts caused by the misbehaviour of whitelock , the race began and tom cannon tracked the leaders on the favourite before taking the lead on the turn in to the straight . queen adelaide emerged as a threat , but busybody , racing down the centre of the course , drew ahead and opened up a clear lead approaching the final furlong . superba made a strong late challenge but busybody held on in an exciting finish to win by half a length , the pair finishing well clear of queen adelaide in third .
for her next start , she was moved straight into group race company for the queen mary stakes at royal ascot . starting at 13 / 2 she was towards the back of the field in the early stages , before making her challenge two furlongs from the finish . she caught the aidan o ' brien - trained sophisticat inside the final furlong and won by half a length [ 7 ] although the 1 , 000 guineas was more than ten months away , the bookmakers offered queen ' s logic at odds of 25 / 1 .

crowd .

four days after her appearance in the auction ring , busybody returned to newmarket for the 1 , 000 guineas in which she was again matched against
the adelaide filly
, now officially named queen adelaide . busybody was made favourite at odds of 85 / 40 in a field of six and was ridden by tom cannon . the early pace was slow and busybody pulled hard against cannon ' s attempts to restrain her before the race began in earnest two furlongs from the finish . busybody and queen adelaide quickly went to the front , and after
a pretty race
, the favourite prevailed by half a length , with whitelock finishing third ahead of sandiway ,
at friday ' s homecoming game , the court rode to the middle of the field in a chevrolet corvette . jazzmin needed some extra help from her brother , who delicately helped move her wheelchair out of the car and on to the 50 - yard line . the crowd stood to their feet and cheered for jazzmin as she lined up with the other candidates . the electric moment nearly brought jones to tears as jazzmin ' s face lit up with a smile .

two months later , queen ' s logic returned to the racecourse for the lowther stakes at york . this was her first attempt at six furlongs . apart from sophisticat , who opposed her again , the field included the cherry hinton stakes winner silent honor , who was made the 9 / 4 favourite . queen ' s logic ran her now familiar race , chasing the leaders before accelerating in the closing stages and taking the lead close home to beat sophisticat by one and a quarter lengths , with silent honor third . [ 9 ] her price for the 1 , 000 guineas was cut to 14 / 1 even though some [ 10 ] felt that her sheer speed and racing style suggested that she was essentially a sprinter who might struggle over one mile .
queen ' s logic is a retired thoroughbred racehorse and active broodmare , bred in ireland and trained in the united kingdom . she is notable for winning the title of european champion two - year - old filly of 2001 at the cartier racing awards , and for retiring undefeated . she has been described as
the most outstanding filly to have never won a classic .

9th march 2012 another win for our new boy the new boy at lanwades , aussie rules , had another three - year - old winner yesterday this time at wolverhampton . yarra valley , a filly , having her third run of her career was held up , made some good headway two furlongs from home to take the 7f maiden in what looks to be a decent race . she is owned and trained by willie musson and was bred by aussie rules’ breeder denford stud who are supporting the horse again in 2012 by sending some good mares .
on the morning of the day before the 1 , 000 guineas , queen ' s logic was found to be lame . channon insisted that the injury was not serious , [ 5 ] but he was unwilling to risk his filly and she was withdrawn from the race . [ 15 ] a plan to run her instead in the irish 1 , 000 guineas had to be abandoned when she contracted a viral infection and began
coughing

background : garry and suzanne brandt had their first runner in 2014 . the couple run the north london - based import business harlequin direct ltd and were tempted to dip their toes into racehorse ownership when meeting owner derrick bloy on holiday . harlequeen was only the second horse owned by the brandts , with their first being the four - time winner harlequin striker , also with mick channon before being switched to dean ivory’s yard this year . garry gave suzanne harlequeen for her birthday and his mother telma went racing for the first time at goodwood last year when harlequeen won .
all samples from contemporary members of family 9c have been reported to have the same haplotype as one of two haplotypes known to occur in 9b , indicating that if there was indeed any fabrication in the pedigree of the young sir peter mare it did not remove her from her true matrilineage . the haplotype found in 9c and part of 9b has also been reported in family branches 12c , 12d and 12f . see equine genetic genealogy and deep - rooted anomalies .
the pedigree given for young sir peter mare may have been fabricated . she is recorded in the stud book as such :
this pedigree was stated by mr baker of elemore hall and mr butler to have been invented . the rev mr perceval of acomb bred all these colts , and they were sold to mr baker and sir f boynton as half - breds , and won many half - bred races .
mr baker ' s entry of quilter was by standard , dam by sir peter pellet ( son espersykes ) , out of a well - bred mare ( pedigree unknown ) ; but the above pedigree is quite possible .
sir peter pellet was later called milfield . while in these cases it is impossible to know the motives or sincerity of all parties involved , it is interesting that the general stud book made note of it . it is possible to introduce a half - bred into the pedigree on either the dam ' s side or the sire ' s side .
the family of spitfire has produced some of the most distinguished horses ever known .

the honorius story is one of many threads , beginning way back to the the tetrarch , the unbeaten star of the turf who stamped so many his progeny with his distinctive grey coat - including the wondrous mumtaz mahal .
like honorius named after royalty , that legendary mare was superior not only on the track but at stud and her genes are still a dominant force in international racing . . . passed on to the likes of nasrullah , royal charger and mahmoud .
one of the mumtaz mahal clan ' s finest achievements is petite etoile , the winner of 14 of her 19 starts - never once out of the first two . the highest ever timeform rated three - year - old filly until bettered only slightly by her relation habibti over two decades later .
many a high class performer has stemmed from this branch of the mumtaz mahal dynasty , none better than the masterpiece zarkava - the first filly in 15 years to defeat the older horses in the world ' s great test of thoroughbred class , the prix de l ' arc de triomphe .
zahra ' s daughter zariya by the influential blushing groom is another to contribute to the considerable fortunes of this great family , two times hong kong group one winner sir andrew and australian group 2 winner zerpour amongst her descendants .
also recipient of several other championship titles - a common theme in this family - igugu was the first filly to win the coveted triple tiara and her four group one victories made her a heroine to the south african racing public .
by a champion , breed shaping stallion , holy roman emperor hails from one of the world ' s great thoroughbred families , one held in such high regard that his full sister milanova set an australian record when fetching a whopping $ 5 million at the 2008 inglis easter broodmare sale .
their dam l ' on vite by the immortal secretariat , has produced four stakes winners - holy roman emperor the star whilst milanova was successful at group three level ( producing a group three winner in ireland ) as was big viking in japan . . . whilst heart of oak won listed races in germany .
but back to her grandson holy roman emperor . with such a background of course expectations were high and he did not disappoint - at debut racing away with a maiden at leopardstown and two starts later claiming the group two railway stakes at the curragh .
on the strength of that victory sent out favourite in the group one phoenix stakes at the same track , holy roman emperor was a dominant winner before a gallant second to rising star teofilo in the group one national stakes .
from there he headed to paris where his two length victory in the group one grand criterium in record time earned him the title of french champion 2y0 , also securing the highest ever juvenile timeform rating for a son of danehill .
and the track ' s loss has proven breeding ' s gain with holy roman emperor proving himself to be one of danehill ' s classiest and most versatile sons , to date represented by 67 stakes winners , ten of whom have been successful at the elite level .
a truly international success story is holy roman emperor . . . winners in 41 different countries ! a stallion whose stats read so very well - a 65 . 3 % winners - to - runners strike rate , 6 . 2 % stakes winners to runners . prize money earnings in excess of $ 82 million , stakes winners who have won over a variety of distances from 1000m to 2500m .

that’s the message today that’s been sent out by the commander of portsmouth naval base , commodore jeremy rigby .
the mighty new aircraft carrier has been given a window between thursday and next monday for the historic moment to happen .
cdre rigby , who has been overseeing a major £100m overhaul of the city’s naval base ahead of the arrival , said his team is ready to go .
‘there’s a palpable sense of excitement around the naval base , ’ he said . ‘it started when we first heard the ship was going to be based here .
‘portsmouth naval base knows it’s got a future until the end of the century as a hub for maritime skills and job security , the supply chain in the area – everybody now knows that they’ve got a part to play .
‘just thinking that we’re going to be the launch pad for the royal navy , travelling around the world for uk security and influence for the next 50 years , is a great feeling . ’
to get ready for the major milestone of her arrival , the naval base has undergone one of the most extensive refits in almost a century .
cdre rigby added : ‘i don’t think there’s one part of the naval base that hasn’t been touched by it , from the accommodation , getting the jetties ready , sorting out the navigation , the guys trying to work out the skills set that they’re going to need , getting the workshops up and running – fixing all the roads .
‘you can’t see one part of the naval base that hasn’t had to lift its game and i think we will all be feeling quite an emotional moment when the ship comes alongside . ’
season one examines the difficulties that philip faced adjusting to life in his wife’s shadow , and his growing jealousy of her friendship with racing manager lord ‘porchey’ porchester ( joseph kloska ) .
in episode nine , the couple have an explosive row over elizabeth and porchey ' s closeness .
as a young lady , elizabeth was said to have had a list of “flirts” which included her friend porchey .
“she clearly found him sexually attractive , ” a lady - in - waiting told the daily telegraph’s graham turner .
in the late 1950s , it was suggested that porchey might be the father of prince andrew , who was born on february 19 , 1960 .
buckingham palace has never commented on the rumours , but it is generally accepted that the two were nothing more than firm friends .
porchey had married an anglo - american noblewoman named jean margaret wallop on january 7 , 1956 .
porchey died of a heart attack on september 11 , 2001 on the same day that thousands were killed in the new york terror attack .
her uncharacteristically sentimental words were seen by many as a reference to her own personal grief at losing her friend porchey .

taxon name is the
namestring
or
scientific name ,
the
data
that is used to form identifications and the core of every taxonomy record .
taxon term is the data value of either a classification term (
animalia
) or classification metadata ( such as name authors ) .
term type is the rank (
kingdom
) for classification terms , in which role it may be null , and the label for classification metadata (
author text
) .
source indicates the source of a classification ( not a taxon name ) . some classifications are local ; most come from globalnames .
common names are vernacular term associated with taxon names , and are not necessarily english , correct , or common .
scientists aim to describe a single ' tree of life ' that reflects the evolutionary relationships of living things . however , evolutionary relationships are a matter of ongoing discovery , and there are different opinions about how living things should be grouped and named . eol reflects these differences by supporting several different scientific ' classifications ' . some species have been named more than once . such duplicates are listed under synonyms . eol also provides support for common names which may vary across regions as well as languages .

strombidae , or the conchs are one of the more familiar of the molluscan groups . though many larger molluscan species are commonly referred to as conchs , the strombs or generically , strombus are the true conch shells . the number of species in the family numbers around 60 species , which is small in comparison with other molluscan families . yet the size difference between the largest and smallest strombus species is huge . a few grow to be the largest and heaviest of the marine mollusks such as eustrombus goliath
. the largest recorded shell is around 380 millimeters . at the other end of the size spectrum is
, a species that rarely reaching 25 millimeters in length . a comprehensive display of strombs are quite beautiful . some of the species can vary considerably in color and make for an
the family strombidae has in recent years undergone a major taxonomic revision . numerous neatly organized subgenera for the various species within the genus strombus have been raised to full genera , and new genera have been errected for species that did not clearly fit within the classic arrangement . the most significant taxonomic change within the family strombidae is that the spindly tibia have been reclassified in the family rostellariidae based on anatomy and shell morphology . the conchological community has been slow to adopt this new classification . the various ' strombus ' species are arranged here according to the revised nomenclature .
