In Saturday's San Carlos at 7furlongs, Malibu Stakes winner Latent Heat (Edgar Prado riding), first or second in seven of ninestarts for trainer Bobby Frankel, steps up to face stakes-level older horses, including Siren Lure (Richard Migliore) and Proud Tower Too (David Cohen). With water pumped from a purpose drilled well, the facade--that is covered in a granule-faced asphalt that holds water--cools the building through a perpetual process of vaporisation, taking latent heat from the building's skin and releasing it into the atmosphere. The air-handling system includes a total energy recovery wheel for latent heat recovery and humidification system. |
