Seabiscuit: An American Legend” is a book by Laura Hillenbrand, hereafter referred to as Seabiscuit talks about the starting of a race horse by the name of Seabiscuit that became an unlikely champion. Seabiscuit was the underdog during this time of horse racing. Seabiscuit had many problems because he was small, lazy, and wasn’t as good as the rest of the horses in that time. Though, Seabiscuit was lazy it was Tom Smith that got Seabiscuit up to race level. This is where one of the main problems I noticed in this book that happens every day in sports is the lack of credit that is given to the people involved with the athletic or the team. For example, Tom Smith was the horse trainer who was also known as “Silent Tom” because he was the quiet, reserved type of
On the subject of betting I have a bit of an issue to raise. It came to my attention earlier that Roy is running a book on the length of the best man's speech. I am sure you will all be glad to know that I got wind of this and, not being known to Roy at the time, I put a tenner on myself to last an hour at the bargain odds of 500-1. So I suggest you top up your glasses and make yourselves comfortable - but do let me know if Roy tries to slip out.
One of my earliest memories of Grandpa begins with us driving to the Monmouth Park Racetrack. We sure did love to go to the track and root for Julie Krone or one of our other favorite jockeys. He loved challenges, and he especially loved the challenge of picking the ponies. He would read the race programs in the Asbury Park Press and usually pre-pick most of the day's favorite horses before ever leaving the house. Still, on arrival, we always bought the program and maybe a race sheet or two before entering the track grandstand. After picking up a couple of seats right around the finish line or maybe a little past it, back to figuring he'd go. As he went, grandpa would always point out the horses that had won recently or looked like they were due. "I have a feeling about this one" he'd say.

Have you ever been to a horse race? Seeing the riders give their horses a pat and an apple after the race, people cheering for their horse as it runs rapidly to the finish line? Seems like a great time. But what happens to those horses after they are done their race. What happens to the people who gambled their family’s lives savings. All horse racing should be shut down due to the well being of the horses, the effects of gambling, and the lack of interest.

... suggests additional research by investigating medication guidelines, while the veterinarians regulating them could confuse the discussion, reveals unity among the industry to operate with the same drug rules by one national advisory group. However, by applying this analysis to restore people 's idea of speculation is interesting in order to restore America’s hobby as the essential component of respectable character, because leaders should psychologically and politically try to regain confidence in fans and participants from the sport by changing the way horse racing appears in the society. Even if racinos consume and complicate racing by taking the focus away from the greatest extent of fascination such as the race, tracks could resemble amusement areas to invite families and modern generations to compete which possibly argues a nobler atmosphere to sponsor a horse.
Certain individuals have a drive that can lead them to achieve what they desire most. In the Short story “The Rocking Horse Winner”, D.H Lawrence showcases this through character motivation and symbolism. He further this using pursuit of desire, and how if you take it to a certain extent it can result in tragedy if the individual chooses not to conform. Paul wants to please his mother because his mother feels that there family has no luck, but Paul proclaims that he is lucky. Paul suddenly becomes consumed with this sudden spree of good luck and feels this is the only way he will be able to gain to the affection of his mother. D.H Lawrence reveals that Paul has a certain flaw that turns him to believe that the only way he will be able to gain his mothers love and affection is by winning money in the horse races. He leads this pursuit of desire to the standards he thought he wanted to, but not to the standards that would have achieved what he wanted, which leads to his down fall. When individuals desire love from another, they may choose to conform their beliefs and actions to that person. At first they may feel successful, however if they sacrifice everything, in pursuing this kind of goal, they may pay a heavy price instead of gaining there hearts desire.
Applying Operant Conditioning to Human Behaviour Operant conditioning is when a way of learning by consequence. To put it basic, an action which is rewarded is more likely to be repeated, along with an action that is punished is less likely to be repeated. To apply this to an example of human behaviour, young children may have shaped behaviour due to operant conditioning; where desireable behaviour is rewarded (e.g. by giving a toy) the behaviour is being positively reinforced and is likely to occur. If a young child behaves in an undesirable way, then they may be punished (e.g. a toy being taken away from them) therefore this behaviour is negatively reinforced and is less likely to reoccur. A dentist tried to soothe the fears of his young patients by showing them cartoons whilst drilling their teeth.
