Queensland Hosts One Of The Worlds Oldest Military Sports
Dressed in full Samurai costumes and riding some of the best locally trained horses, the 16 archers charged down Four Mile Beach at Port Douglas battling it out to see who could hit three individual targets.
Tournament Organiser Glen Percy said it was the first time an accredited traditional Japanese horseback archery event had ever been held outside of Japan.
It was a rare and incredible display of ancient Japanese military skills - all the more unlikely for being held in the tropics of Queensland.
Yabusame began as a form of military training and combines the highest skills of horsemanship and archery. Competitors are clad in the hunting outfit of medieval warriors and shoot at three targets as they race by on horseback. To see this sport performed in Australia, on a beach more known as the jump off point for the Great Barrier Reef, makes it all the more unusual.

Crocodile Trophy 2015 - Highlights Final Stage 9: Wetherby - Port Douglas
Crocodile Trophy 2015: Swiss Urs Huber claims third Crocodile Trophy victory
With a seventh stage win on the final day at the 21st Crocodile Trophy the Swiss Urs Huber claimed his third race victory since 2009 and 2010. Soren Nissen from Denmark claims the second place ahead of Australia’s Marathon National Champion, Brendan Johnston from Canberra. Nicholas Pettina comes in fourth overall and the young Austrian Lukas Islitzer in fifth.
Sarah White from Cairns (AUS) takes the win in the Elite Women’s category on the podium at the breathtaking Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas after more than 700km and 17,000m of elevation raced since the event started nine days ago in Cairns.
From jungle to bush to Outback to beach
The final kilometres were be raced on the sandy beach, right on the water and for many riders the start in the jungle around Cairns seems long ago. Since last Saturday they raced in on the Atherton Tablelands’ MTB Park and rainforest surrounds. For stage five and six the Crocodile Trophy raced in the bushlands, mining country and the Outback in the Irvinebank region before arriving at the tropical Skybury Coffee Plantation on Friday. Last night the set up camp at the historic Wetherby Cattle Station and for the second time in the race history, the event finished on Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas.
The racers received a warm welcome in Port Douglas with more than 500 spectators cheering them on as they crossed the final finish line for 2015. Many were reunited with families and friends and the international racers will spend more time in Tropical North Queensland, some taking up to three weeks here to recover from the strains and pains of the legendary mountain bike stage race that is the Crocodile Trophy.

6 Brothers
This 60-minute documentary explores the joys and challenges of life on the plains through the stories of the Stenberg brothers. Arnold, Cap, Chris, Henry, Ray, and Selmer were the children of western North Dakota homesteaders, and they belonged to the generation that survived the Great Depression and experienced World War II.
Weaving together interviews, archival footage, and letters sent during World War II, 6 BROTHERS recounts how an ordinary North Dakota family experienced one of America's most intriguing time periods. Further, it touches on how their lives and experiences have helped to shape future generations.
Producer: Daniel Stenberg. Editor: Dave Geck. Executive Producer: Bob Dambach.
Major production funding provided by the Williston State College Foundation, the North Dakota Humanities Council, a nonprofit, independent state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Basin Electric Cooperative, an Operation Round Up grant from McKenzie Electric, and by the members of Prairie Public.

2008 Tampa Bay Derby - Big Truck
Trainer Barclay Tagg had prophetic words of wisdom for jockey Eibar Coa before he sent Eric Fein's Big Truck to the $300,000 Tampa Bay Derby (gr. III).
I said, 'Ride to be second, and if something happens to War Pass, we win,' Tagg told reporters just moments after the Hook and Laddercolt wore down Todd Pletcher trainee Atoned in a neck-and-neck battle March 15. I thought we were the second-best horse.
Tagg, of course, was deferring to Robert LaPenta's unbeaten War Pass, sent off at odds of 1-9 in a field of seven and clearly expected by the on-track crowd of 12,746 to score his sixth consecutive victory in the 1 1/6-mile event. But twisted circumstances put the Nick Zito trainee in a situation he'd never tried before; when a bad break caused the previously unbeaten frontrunner to get pinched back at the start, he never recovered and finished last.
You saw what happened (at the break), Zito said. But he got moving and I thought he was in a good position going down the back, but when (Cornelio Velasquez) asked him, nothing happened. I don't know what happened. I just don't know.
