Santa Anita Shut Down; SIERRA MADRE EDITION SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 2019 VOLUME 13 NO.10 SANTA ANITA SHUT DOWN; 21 HORSES DEAD by Kevin McGuire Animal rights activists continue to accrue outside the iconic Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia, holding signs expressing sentiments such “It’s Not Sport, It’s Violence” and “Horseracing Kills Horses,” as the track halts all racing and training indefinitely after the loss of 21 horses over a short 10-week period. In addition to dealing with a depleted horse population this season, over 16 inches of rain has pelted the dirt track over the past two months, making conditions for training treacherous at times for bulked up horses with brittle legs. This past Tuesday, Santa Anita reported the loss of a 4-year-old filly named Let’s Light the Way who shattered its sesamoid bone at the ankle joint. The horse was euthanized. Another 20 horses died as a result of racing the main track, the turf track and morning workouts. After the latest catastrophe, The Stronach Group, owners of Santa Anita, called for closure of the track and a thorough inspection. Why did it take so long? That’s what activists and area residents want to know, as the voiced their displeasure, for the way things were handled, on social media and on the parking lot outside the track. “So it took 21 horses to die before Santa Anita closes indefinitely SMH! (shaking my head), of course it’s about the money, not the horses,” one Twitter post said. According to The Stronach Group, a “highly respected track man” Dennis Moore and Dr. Mick Peterson, of the Racing Services Testing Lab, were brought in to perform extensive testing and a thorough review of the one-mile main track on Thursday, March 7. The results of the inspection are not known at this time. Mr. Moore has 46 years of experience dealing with track surfaces. “As horse lovers first and foremost, we are deeply saddened by the losses experienced over the past several weeks. The loss of just one horse is one too many. While we can’t prevent every injury, we can’t overemphasize that the health and welfare of the horses and jockeys is our top priority,” said Tim Ritvo, Chief Operating Officer, The Stronach Group, the owners of Santa Anita Park. “The track will be closed for live racing and training until our outside experts confirm the soundness of the track and let us know that it is safe to resume racing.” Inspections of the track will include the utilization of an Orono Biomechanical Surface Tester, a device that mimics the impacts of a horse running at full gallop allowing engineers to see how the track holds up. These test results will be evaluated to ensure track consistency and uniformity for both training and racing. “While we are confident further testing will confirm the soundness of the track, the decision to close is the right thing to do at this time,” stated Ritvo. ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS: Canceled events include the $600,000 Grade I Santa Anita Handicap, and $500,000 San Felipe Stakes, which sets up horses for the Kentucky Derby. Horses will remain stabled at Santa Anita and Annually, the Sierra Madre Rose Float Association is proud to award a the track will be opened to the public for simulcasts. scholarship to a qualified college-bound student who meets the following Further, The Stronach Group will be conducting a comprehensive evaluation of all existing safety qualifications: measures and current protocols. 1.

  • Twisted Trails of the Wold West by Matthew Baugh © 2006
    Twisted Trails of the Wold West By Matthew Baugh © 2006 The Old West was an interesting place, and even more so in the Wold- Newton Universe. Until fairly recently only a few of the heroes and villains who inhabited the early western United States had been confirmed through crossover stories as existing in the WNU. Several comic book miniseries have done a lot to change this, and though there are some problems fitting each into the tapestry of the WNU, it has been worth the effort. Marvel Comics’ miniseries, Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather was a humorous storyline, parodying the Kid’s established image and lampooning westerns in general. It is best known for ‘outing’ the Kid as a homosexual. While that assertion remains an open issue with fans, it isn’t what causes the problems with incorporating the story into the WNU. What is of more concern are the blatant anachronisms and impossibilities the story offers. We can accept it, but only with the caveat that some of the details have been distorted for comic effect. When the Rawhide Kid is established as a character in the Wold-Newton Universe he provides links to a number of other western characters, both from the Marvel Universe and from classic western novels and movies. It draws in the Marvel Comics series’ Blaze of Glory, Apache Skies, and Sunset Riders as wall as DC Comics’ The Kents. As with most Marvel and DC characters there is the problem with bringing in the mammoth superhero continuities of the Marvel and DC universes, though this is not insurmountable.
