FOX One Becomes Home for Del Mar Horse Racing

FOX Sports has reached a multi-year agreement with Del Mar Thoroughbred Club to bring live coverage of Del Mar’s summer and fall meets to FOX Sports beginning in 2027. Before full coverage starts in 2027, FS1 will air the Grade 1, $1 million Pacific Classic on August 22, 2026. FOX Sports already carries marquee horse racing properties including the Belmont Stakes (presented by NYRA Bets), Saratoga Race Course and coverage from the new Belmont Park, and says its horse racing coverage now exceeds 1,000 hours of live programming annually. Fox Corporation executive Michael Mulvihill highlighted Del Mar as a key summertime venue. The deal expands FOX’s growing racing portfolio alongside existing motorsports rights such as the NASCAR Cup Series and the full 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season.

Altman Brings GPT-6 to White House, Joins Voluntary Review

Sam Altman flew to Washington to demonstrate GPT-6 to the White House and signed up for a newly announced voluntary pre-approval regime for frontier AI models. Researchers at NTT's Physics of AI Lab and Harvard's Center for Brain Science reported an optimal AI-agent team size of 16 in a consensus task called the Flag Game, challenging claims that ever-larger agent swarms always improve performance. WIRED reported that private Anthropic (Claude) chats appeared in Google and Bing search results because Anthropic relied on robots.txt but omitted a required noindex tag; Forbes previously reported a similar exposure. Figure announced its BotQ factory produced its 1,000th Figure 03 humanoid, though critics note production counts don't prove deployed working robots. The newsletter also summarizes several industry items, including Cursor's India pricing, Cisco's deep-networking AI models, PJM's planned data-center curtailments in 2027, X's X Money rollout, and Meta signing the EU AI-content transparency code.

GEO Follows Early SEO's Path

The article argues that Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — the effort to get brands cited in AI-generated answers — should be a top priority for marketers, but that traditional SEO alone will not guarantee visibility in LLM-driven responses. It outlines common GEO tactics (structured FAQs, TL;DRs, schema) and warns of emerging black‑hat techniques (AI spam, fake reviews, cloaking). Drawing lessons from early SEO, including keyword stuffing and Google’s 2006 removal of BMW for cloaking, the piece predicts AI model vendors will increasingly detect and penalize manipulative GEO practices. The author recommends sustainable, white‑hat GEO (high-quality, answer-focused content and reputable techniques) as the path likely to deliver long-term visibility in AI answers.
