So, the very last thing anyone wanted on returning to Saratoga, after being denied its unique balm of fellowship last year, was to hear "the Q word" yet again. A 21-day quarantine for horses stabled in Barn 86, after one of Jorge Abreu's fillies tested positive to EHV-1, must have felt like Groundhog Day for Abreu and neighbor Kenny McPeek. Here they were, yet again, reprising the role of good citizens--dutifully withdrawn from society for the greater good. But precisely because no man is an island, their sacrifice has consequences for the rest of us too. In the absence of McPeek's two intended starters, the field for the GI Coaching Club American Oaks has dwindled to four. As a result, for the second Saturday running a big race showcases one of the besetting challenges facing our community, if we are to achieve greater engagement and confidence among the wider public. Last week, the unseating of Midnight Bourbon (Tiznow) in the GI TVG.com Haskell S. inevitably prompted furious polemics over the putative role in that incident of the riding crop's recent prohibition in New Jersey.

Cont. from p1
Now we find ourselves obliged to focus on the capacity of 21st Century Thoroughbreds and/or their trainers to sustain the elite race program. Obviously, there is a freak element in this instance, but that doesn't alter the fact that field depth is becoming a familiar problem. This very race, indeed, only mustered five runners last year. Doubtless many different factors are involved: diminishing foal crops; "super trainers" keeping their horses apart; lucrative new races, many at a time when horses were formerly spelled and some requiring a punishing trip to the desert. And California, of course, has had its specific issues (though an exemplary reset now deserves due reward from investors). But I suspect that much the biggest problem is either that the Thoroughbred today is not as resilient as it was, very likely because of reckless overbreeding to flimsy commercial stallions; or that trainers at least believe that to be the case. Either explanation is amply supported by contrasting the racing patterns of yesteryear and today. Some people openly propose indulging these corrosive debilities by stretching out the Triple Crown calendar. Adopting the perspective of future generations, to whom we are answerable for our stewardship of the breed, I find that staggering. If we're going to hand over a Thoroughbred with a lesser constitution than the one we received, then we have to make that honestly apparent to those who will be left to repair the damage. It's the same logic that supports "clean" training: none of the genetic material masked, everything on open parade. Sure, we must sometimes adapt to survive. That's exactly why they're trying these new whip rules in New Jersey. But as so often, in a society where opinion seems ever more polarized, what happened last Saturday--in a race that turned out to be rather more overcrowded than this one appears to be--has tended only to retrench established positions.

Those who have what it takes to serve in special forces units are generally among the toughest and bravest people out there. Yet, Cannon says that since they are constantly put into such high stress and dangerous situations they are not immune from suffering from mental problems. "These guys have a ton of issues," he said. "Brain problems, PTSD, drinking, drugs, marital issues. When they are in they get treated really well because the government puts so much money into their training. They are taken care of because the government sees them as assets. But, when they are out, the government stops caring about them and doesn't help them in any way. These guys have long lasting injuries, including traumatic brain injuries. From all the concussions of breaching the doors with explosives, they get traumatic brain injuries.

I think it is civilians' guilt." Cannon, who never served in the military, assumed that the country's elite soldiers would be treated like heroes once they return to civilian life. After befriending a member of the Navy Seal team that killed Osama Bin Laden, Cannon learned that isn't necessarily the case.

TRACTOR MISHAP FORCES DIRT RACES TO TURF AT ELLIS; DRIVER TAKEN TO HOSPITAL Edited Release
Coady
A tractor driver had a medical emergency during track maintenance prior to Friday=s fifth race that resulted in the tractor hitting the inner rail of the dirt track at Ellis Park. The driver was taken to the hospital via ambulance. Ellis Park did not identify the employee, citing health privacy laws. The rail was damaged about the sixteenth pole and was unable to be immediately repaired, forcing the fifth and seventh races to be moved from the main track to the turf course. Track General Manager Jeff Inman said that the rail would be repaired overnight and in the morning and that racing would resume as scheduled at 12:50 p.m. CT Saturday. Training has been canceled for Saturday morning to accommodate the repair. The surface change necessitated adjustments to the payoffs for a trio of multi-race wagers. The Pick 3 beginning with race 3 paid out on 5-6-all. The Pick 3 starting with race 4 paid off on 6-all-3. The Pick 5 starting with the fourth race paid off on 6-all-3-all-3.
