Rodeo Terminology in the Navajo Language [04:26]
Rodeo, or known as Ahóóhai in the Navajo language, is a very popular sport on the Navajo reservation. Since many Navajos have cattle, it's not suprising that Navajos undertaken this competitive sports event. This video basically covers the names of the events in Navajo, both timed and rough stock events. This video also covers the names of key individuals involved in a rodeo, for example: Akałii: Cowboy: Dóola Bił Naalgeedígíí: Bull Rider Hastiin Łá̜ At'ínígíí: Rodeo Clown Bił Nída'algeedgo Nídayiiláhígíí: Pick-Up Man The term "rodeo" in Navajo comes from the word "Naa'ahóóhai," which means "chicken" in Navajo. Rodeos on the reservation initiated around a "chicken-pull." Over time, this word got shortened to "ahóóhai," and rather than being named after chicken pulls it became the term for "rodeos" as rodeos got popular on the reservation. Also, some people will use the term "Naa'ahóóhai" or "Ahóóhai" for agricultural shows; tribal, county, or state fairs.

Hansen and other Derby horses on the turn before Kentucky Derby 5/5/2012 [01:57]
Hansen fidgets and is a handful for jockey Ramon Dominguez; the rest of the field passes him on the second turn during their warmups for the Kentucky Derby (5/5/2012, Churchill Downs, Louisville, KY). Some of the other horses/jockeys in this film are Union Rags (Julien Leparoux), Bodemeister (Mike Smith), Dullahan (Kent Desormeaux), Take Charge Indy (Calvin Borel), Went the Day Well (John Velazquez), and others. This video was shot from the Churchill track kitchen window, therefore not that clear. The voices are people in there watching the race. A nice vantage point, and air conditioned, too.

Eliza interviews trainer Nick Williams at Chepstow Races [01:08]
At the Welsh National; trainer Nick Williams had a winner in Alfie Spinner and suggests he may be aimed at the Welsh National next year. Nick has had a purple patch recently with Zaynar winning at Ascot before Xmas and a number of other winners of late. For Non Stop may be one to watch for too... Eliza follows Nick Williams horses. She used to model at the Royal Acdemy and Hesketh Hubbard (Mall Gallleries) and the London Sketch club; and Nick has some original paintings of her; so Eliza naturally began following his horses and has done rather well betting on them over the last two seasons!!
