A better better’s guide to Belmont Stakes
There’s a Catch-22 in horse betting (two if you count the horse by that name). The more popular the horse, the less it pays out if it wins. But what exactly makes a horse popular? In 2021, researchers at the University of Zurich published a study finding evidence that horses with fast-sounding names are bet on more.

AI Creativity – should I love or fear it?
There is a raging debate about whether a machine – particularly an artificially intelligent machine – can be as creative as humans. Regurgitating information from the internet is one thing, but can AI really understand the context needed for creative work and create things that are engaging or entertaining? By using a proprietary dataset representing the US population and a decade’s worth of creative ideas, we believe RYA has crossed into that frontier.
