May 30 S.A. (Fairview) form analysis
Race 1 (1,200m) (3) ZAMBEZI SUNSET has already been gelded, so should be ready for his debut and has Richard Fourie in the irons. (2) SUPREME JUDGE is threatening to win a race and can go one better this time but all that form has been on the Polytrack. (4) AMIOK is a Global View filly making her debut. (5) ATLANTIC PEARL also makes his debut and could earn some money. Race 2 (1,600m) (6) GOLDEN GREY has been unlucky not to win at this centre. He has proven to be a difficult ride but deserves a winning turn. (5) FIZZLY BUBBLY and (4) GARDEN SUN have both shown a lot of improvement of late. It would not surprise any if they get involved with the finish. (3) PROLIFIC STAR seems better than his local debut and could be a threat. Race 3 (1,600m) (2) WINTER GAMBLE has not been reliable but on the pick of her form, she is the one to beat in this line-up. (1) TWILIGHT BAY is threatening to get out of the maiden ranks and might enjoy the switch to the turf. (4) JUST FOR U showed some improvement and could have more to offer. (5) FANTASY GIRL is battling to win a race but is capable of earning some more money. Race 4 (1,600m) (4) GREEN MANDARIN has run well at this course and could score, having his first run for trainer Juan Nel. (12) LANCIAFIAMME is improving and has a winning chance. (7) WILLIAM THE FIRST is in good form and clearly not out of it. (8) FINAL EDITION is suited by course and distance, so should go into all the exotics. Race 5 (1,900m) (5) GLOBAL REEF fought on gamely for a good win last time and that confidence boost could spark a follow-up victory. (1) MR FOX showed his talent on the Polytrack last time and could have more to offer. (3) HOME REEF is in very good form and deserves respect. (14) PISCES is the unreliable type but is capable of surprising over this course and distance. Race 6 (1,400m) (3) ANCHOR MAN is in good form but he can expect many challenges all up the straight. (1) MASTER INCOLOR did not seem to see out the Derby distance and could do a lot better on this track and trip. (2) GLOBETONIC has some fair recent form and can get involved with the finish again. (4) WINTER EMERALDS won well last time and could be better than rated. Race 7 (1,400m) (4) GOLDEN PALM is improving and has won both her starts for Fourie. She should be better than these rivals. (2) BAROLO has not done much wrong so far and should fight out the finish. (1) AUGUSTA ROSSO was not disgraced last time and could like this longer distance. (5) ROYAL CITY GIRL shows talent and can be a threat. Race 8 (1,200m) (4) COASTAL PATH is at his best over this course and distance and should go close to winning. (1) SILVONIAN looked the likely winner going into the closing stages last time before getting caught and deserves another winning turn. (2) SOUND OF THE SEA found good betting support when winning on the Polytrack and deserves respect for that win. (3) SWEET AND TRUE likes the turf and could be a live danger.

'Why is it even a debate?' he asked rhetorically. 'A woman is a woman and a man is a man… you're born with what you're born with.' Nevertheless, the issue has been hotly debated around the world as women and girls are getting increasingly trounced in their respective sports by people who were born male. Urlacher, the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2000 and Defensive Player of the Year in 2005, referenced an ongoing controversy in Minnesota, where a transgender pitcher is currently dominating a girls' softball season. The transgender athlete won a reported 14 straight games heading into the playoffs and earned first-team all-state honours. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

'It's just different because we are men, there are certain things we do better than women,' Urlacher ranted. 'Number one, it's not fair, and if I had a daughter who had to be forced to play against a man I would not be OK with it and I would definitely raise hell about it.' He continued: 'I just don't get it, it's a common sense thing. I just don't see how you can push this and make someone think they're a different sex.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO Another former NFL star, Donald Driver, joined in the ever-growing debate about transgender athletes in sports. Driver, who won his one and only Super Bowl ring with the Green Bay Packers in 2011, said that transgender athletes shouldn't be allowed to compete in female sports and that they should 'compete in the sport that God made you in.'

Urlacher has been open about his support of President Donald Trump, calling him a 'machine' and praising him for his Feb. 5 signing of an executive order that keeps those born male out of women's sports. However, several states have defied Trump's ban, leading to ongoing anger over the subject. Read More 'I have a daughter who was a tomboy,' Urlacher said. 'We never thought about making her a boy.'

Bears legend Brian Urlacher shares stance on trans athletes in girls' sports as issue rocks Illinois
Former Chicago Bears star linebacker Brian Urlacher made his stance known on the issue of transgender athletes in women's and girls' sports as the debate creates a divide in the state where he made his reputation – Illinois. Urlacher shared his opinion on the issue during an interview on the "Global View" podcast on May 9 and questioned why it is even a debate in some circles. "Why is it even a debate? A woman is a woman and a man is a man… you're born with what you're born with," Urlacher said. Urlacher even referenced an ongoing controversy in Minnesota, where a transgender pitcher is currently dominating the girls' softball season. The trans athlete reportedly won 14 straight games heading into the playoffs and earned first-team All-State honors rocked the state in recent weeks. "It's just different because we are men, there are certain things we do better than women, and it's just, number one, it's not fair, and if I had a daughter who had to be forced to play against a man I would not be okay with it and I would raise hell about it," Urlacher said. "I just don't get it, it's a common sense thing, I just don't see how you can push this and make someone thing they're a different sex." The Pro Football Hall of Famer praised President Donald Trump for signing the "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order at the White House on Feb. 5. Illinois has become a hotbed of controversy over the issue of trans athlete inclusion in recent days after a biological male competed in a seventh-grade track meet against biological females at the Naper Prairie Conference Meet. The incident resulted in a Naperville 203 Community School District Board meeting descending into a heated debate over the issue on Monday. Awake Illinois has filed a civil rights complaint against the district, with the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights alleging a violation of Title IX. They called on federal funds to be withheld from the district, which it says receives between $8 million and $9 million in federal grants annually. The complaint is part of a broader effort by Awake Illinois, which previously filed similar Title IX complaints against other districts and the Illinois State Board of Education.

Trump's Greenland Gambit
'We can't just ignore the president's desires,' Vice President JD Vance told Americans stationed at Pituffik Space Base in northwestern Greenland. And what is true of vice presidents is also true of your Global View columnist. Whether the topic is tariffs, territorial expansion, relations with Russia, the future of America's alliances or the balance of power in the Middle East, understanding what President Trump really wants is the key to analyzing where American foreign policy is headed in this stormy and fateful year. Disentangling Mr. Trump's true intentions is difficult. The blizzard of foreign and domestic initiatives unfolding around the most hyperactive White House since Franklin D. Roosevelt and the extreme unconventionality of many of the Trump administration's policies make this administration singularly difficult to analyze. The president's approach to politics, intuitive rather than analytical and working from intellectual and moral foundations that largely reject the mainstream consensus of the post-Cold War era, adds to the complexity of the task.
