    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["What does it actually take to train a high-performance LLM today? Published research makes it look straightforward: strategic architecture choices, carefully curated datasets, and sufficient compute. The results are polished, the ablations are structured and clean. Every decision seems obvious in hindsight. But those reports only show what worked and apply a bit of rosy retrospection – they don’t capture the 2am dataloader debugging sessions, the loss spikes, or the subtle tensor parallelism bug (see later!) that quietly sabotages your training. The reality is messier, more iterative, and full of decisions that don’t make it into the final paper. Join us as we look behind the scenes of training SmolLM3, a 3B multilingual reasoning model trained on 11T tokens. This is not an ordinary blog post, but rather the untangling of a spiderweb of decisions, discoveries, and dead ends that led to deep insights into what it takes to build world-class language models."]]></description>

Both are trained by Bob Baffert, who on Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours after trainers learned the San Felipe would not be run Saturday, said he was 'still trying to work things out.' Baffert and two other Hall of Fame trainers, Jerry Hollendorfer and Richard Mandella, had horses set to run in the San Felipe and the Grade 2, $1 million Rebel on March 16 at Santa Anita. There is the possibility additional horses from their barns could be rerouted to the Rebel, especially if Oaklawn were to split the Rebel into two divisions if there are enough entries."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["During the Tuesday presentation, Bramlage also stressed that horses need to be exercised regularly as 2-year-olds in order to build strong bones, citing the physiology of bone growth and studies showing that horses who run as 2-year-olds suffer far fewer catastrophic injuries than horses that do not run at 2." Also: "Bramlage also recommended that racetracks 'entertain' the idea of allowing for both left-handed and right-handed training, as studies seem to suggest that horses’ musculoskeletal systems would benefit from the variation, he said. He also said it would be reasonable for trainers to modify the gaits that their horses use and require them to perform different exercises than just running around the track in order to allow for more complete growth of bone to handle different and unexpected stresses and loads that can arise during a race ..."]]></description>

    <link>http://www.drf.com/news/blinkers-closer-look-their-impact-racehorses</link>
    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Just below the extension blinker in terms of severity sits the full cup, which strictly limits the scope of a horse’s vision. Baffert’s Preakness and Belmont winner Point Given made a practice of rearing up without warning, and he raced in full-cup blinkers with holes cut out. Most horsemen using larger blinkers prefer them to have holes: They might not want a horse looking at his competition throughout a race, getting anxious, but believe that a horse needs to be able to see a rival to respond to his challenge. French cups, like Palace Malice’s, are the most commonly used blinker, affording a horse a wide view of what lies in their forward field of vision without the lateral and rear distractions."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The explanations are varied and often conflicting. Some analysts say American breeding has focused too much on producing precociously fast 2-year-olds rather than durable racehorses built for the duress of the Triple Crown. In a related issue, some say the genetic pool has become too narrow, with too much emphasis on a few prominent sires. Others blame modern training, saying the best horses are underworked and too many mediocre horses are pointed toward the Kentucky Derby. And then there are those who say the whole issue is overblown. These defenders of the modern horse say thoroughbreds are trained to win races, not set time records. Besides, they add, the tracks themselves are kept slower these days because safety, not raw speed, is the chief concern."]]></description>

The monotony of training here and the lack of space leave many horses a shell of what they could be."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The typical modern drugged, bleeding American Thoroughbred training regime is one breeze at one quarter to one half their race distance every seven days followed by one day of hand-walking followed by five days of slow galloping 1 1/4  to 1 1/2 miles. Contrast this to the average non-bleeding, drug-free foreign racehorse who is breezed two to three times per week.... Most drug-free, seldom bleeding foreign racehorses do more race-specific appropriate conditioning in one week than our drugged, bleeding American racehorses do in one month."]]></description>

They can tell us a great deal about the realities of training and of maintaining Thoroughbreds as competitive athletes."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The first time, as we watched I’ll Have Another ease slightly toward the rail as if in work mode and motor past the finish line, we were amazed to catch him from the finish line to the seven-eighths pole in :11 4/5. OK, no way, so we tried it again -- :11 4/5. The next time, we made an angle adjustment and waited a hair longer -- :12 flat. A few more times -- all :12 flat. One more angle adjustment, waiting even longer -- :12 1/5. After several more attempts, we just accepted that one of these times was correct. Regardless of which one, you don’t see splits of :11 4/5 or :12 or :12 1/5 going an eighth past the wire in a gallop. You rarely see it in a work."]]></description>

    <link>http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/45678/commentary-drill-bits</link>
    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Turner’s indignation springs from roots that go deep in this game. He is not just the last Triple Crown trainer still alive and kicking hay bales, but he’s also still the only horseman ever to win it with an undefeated horse. The passage of time has only made this training feat appear all the more brilliant and remarkable. The man knows precisely what it takes to win the Triple Crown, and he says that he had made it a point, in bringing Slew to the Belmont 31 years ago, to make a study of what it took to prepare a 3-year-old to win at 12 furlongs in early June. What he learned back then, by looking at training regimens of horses like Chateaugay (1963) and Arts and Letters (1969), has been considerably strengthened by what he has witnessed in the Belmont since the days of the mighty Slew."

Instead, he specializes in equine athletic psychology, with an emphasis on emotional conformation profiling. In other words, he is looking for horses with trainable minds because those quirks and personality traits we talk about are more than just fun anecdotes."]]></description>
