How Good Is Omaha Beach? MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2019 HOW GOOD IS OMAHA MO FORZA=S SUCCESS LEADS DAM BACK TO SALES RING by Jessica Martini BEACH? WE=LL NEVER When the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale catalogue was published, Inflamed (Unusual Heat)=s first foal was only an REALLY KNOW unplaced 3-year-old, but when the mare went through the sales ring last month, Mo Forza (Uncle Mo) was a graded stakes winner. The 9-year-old mare was purchased by Craig Bernick=s Glen Hill Farm for $170,000 and Bernick watched as the mare=s stock continued to rise when Mo Forza won the GI Hollywood Derby just weeks after the auction. Mo Forza=s Grade I win convinced Bernick to supplement Inflamed to the Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale where she will be offered Jan. 14 as hip 795E as part of Glen Hill Farm=s first-ever consignment. Bernick was busy as both a buyer and seller at the November sale, which was dominated by the dispersal of his Elevage partnership with John Sikura=s Hill >n= Dale Farm.

He romped in Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. Saturday=s GI Runhappy Malibu S. at Santa Anita and will likely be favored in the GI Pegasus World Cup, his last stop before entering stallion duty at Spendthrift Farm. Should he win the Pegasus, his record will include four Grade I victories and over $3 million in earnings. That=s a very good career but not nearly as good as what he might have been able to accomplish had he simply been luckier. Whatever chance he had to fulfill his full potential was lost the moment trainer Richard Mandella discovered his horse had an entrapped epiglottis. Omaha Beach had already been entered in the GI Kentucky Derby and had to be scratched the Wednesday before the race. He also would not be ready for the GI Preakness S. or the GI Belmont S. But Mandella said at the time that Omaha Beach would only miss about three weeks of training, which meant that he should have been ready for the major 3-year-old stakes in the summer. Instead, Omaha Beach=s recovery was anything but smooth. He had a virus and a minor setback in his training and wasn=t able to get back to the races until Oct. 5 when showing up in the GI Santa Anita Sprint Championship.

Smith is in his 37th year of riding and has had 33,517 mounts. He has 606 graded stakes wins. Whichever of the two has had the better career is difficult to answer. But Smith has a chance now to put some distance between himself and Bailey and that=s because he=s among the most durable top riders in the sport=s history. Smith had a huge afternoon Saturday at Santa Anita, winning four races, all of them stakes. He may be 54, but he=s still riding at a top level and very much in demand. Bailey retired at age 49. Should There Be Racing on Christmas? Obviously, there are reasons not to run on Christmas, none more important than giving employees the day off to be with their families. But racing, which shuts down throughout North America on Christmas, is definitely missing a golden opportunity to have what would be one of its bigger days of the year. It might be time to re-examine why no racetracks will run on Christmas. It=s not that the sport has always shut down on Christmas. It once was a staple of the racing season. The first day of racing ever at Santa Anita was held on Christmas Day 1934. The Fair Grounds and Tropical Park also raced that day. After a while, Florida was the only place left where you could find racing on Christmas, a day that usually attracted a huge crowd. At Tropical, the most attended day of racing during any year was often Dec. 25. After Tropical Park closed down in 1972, its dates went to Calder. Calder kept up the Christmas tradition up until 1996. In the many years since Tropical brought in big crowds on Christmas, American society has become a lot more tolerant of businesses staying open for the day. Several grocery chains stay open for the day and so does Starbucks. Need your prescription filled? It=s not hard to find an open Walgreens or CVS. The NBA has embraced Christmas and turned it into its biggest days. Every year since its current television deal began in 2002, the Christmas games have been the highest rated games of the regular season. NBA executives understand that a lot of basketball fans are looking for something to do on Christmas, that there=s plenty of time left over after accounting for a big meal and opening presents. The same holds true for horseplayers. Give them a signal to bet on on Christmas Day and they will flock to it, ready to drive the handle through the roof. Though racetracks can=t be faulted for looking out for their employees, at several, there=s a degree of hypocrisy involved.

    THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2019 WEDNESDAY’S TRACKSIDE DERBY REPORT OMAHA BEACH OUT OF by Steve Sherack DERBY WITH ENTRAPPED LOUISVILLE, KY - With the rising sun making its way through partly cloudy skies, well before the stunning late scratch of likely EPIGLOTTIS favorite Omaha Beach (War Front) rocked the racing world, the backstretch at Churchill Downs was buzzing on a warm and breezy Wednesday morning ahead of this weekend’s 145th GI Kentucky Derby. Two of Bob Baffert’s three Derby-bound ‘TDN Rising Stars’ Roadster (Quality Road) and Improbable (City Zip) were among the first to step foot on the freshly manicured surface during the special 15-minute training window reserved for Derby/Oaks horses at 7:30 a.m. Champion and fellow ‘Rising Star’ Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}) galloped during a later Baffert set at 9 a.m. Cont. p3 IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Omaha Beach & exercise rider Taylor Cambra Wednesday morning. | Sherackatthetrack CALYX SENSATIONAL IN ROYAL WARM-UP Calyx (GB) (Kingman {GB}) was scintillating in Ascot’s Fox Hill Farms’s Omaha Beach (War Front), the 4-1 favorite for G3 Pavilion S. on Wednesday.

  • Will Justify Win the Triple Crown?
    Will there be a Triple Crown Winner this year? Mike E. Smith on Justify, Kentucky Derby On May 5, Justify won the Kentucky Derby. There are 2 more thoroughbred horse races that he has to enter and win in order to win the Triple Crown of thoroughbred Racing ... the Preakness and the Belmont. Can he do it? What are his chances? The three races that make up the Triple Crown are the (1) Kentucky Derby, the (2) Preakness Stakes, and the (3) Belmont Stakes. Kentucky Derby races began in 1875; Preakness races began in 1870; and the Belmont began in 1867. But in all of those years since these races began only 12 horses have won all three.

  • Change and Controversy at Glenwood State School
    % ■ M Looking bock to the 1950s, how should we picture loum's institutions for those with mental and physical disabilities? Photographs show solid buildings amidst tidy grounds, uniformed staff helping contented residents. Others— like this view of peeling paint and torn curtains at Independence Mental Health Institute in 1959— reveal a darker side. From today's vantage point, we see both truths: how far we had ad­ vanced as a compassionate, informed, and just society, and how much farther we still had to go. Though often billed as a decade of compla­ cency, the 1950s witnessed the birth of sweeping changes in under­ standing and caring for those with mental retardation, changes that have brought us to where we are today. Here's part of that story. — The Editor Contioversy by Becky Wilson Hawbaker ighty years old, Dr. V. J. Meyer was ready to retire. More than a year ago he had agreed to wait until a suitable replacement could be Efound. Now, in the spring of 1957, he was still the superintendent of Glenwood State School, a state institution for people with mental retarda­ tion, located in Glenwood, Iowa. And despite new construction and re­ cent remodeling, Meyer himself acknowledged that Glenwood was still woefully overcrowded and understaffed. That May, Meyer's successor arrived: 33-year-old Alfred Sasser Jr. The changes Sasser would make at Glenwood State School would soon cata­ pult the institution into the national spotlight and add momentum to a Summer 1998 63 K>WA CíTYl JOAN reform movement already sweeping the United States. gration restrictions and quotas targeting the "defec­ Across the country, parents of children with disabili­ tive" and the "less desirable" nationalities—meaning, ties were Joined by progressive professionals in psy­ southern and eastern European immigrants.

Theodore Peña, Chair This dissertation examines the evidence for burial in archaic Rome and Latium with a view to understanding the nature of urban development in the region. In particular, I focus on identifying those social and political institutions that governed relations between city‐ states at a time when Rome was becoming the most influential urban center in the area. I examine the evidence for burial gathered primarily from the past four decades or so of archaeological excavation in order to present first, a systematic account of the data and second, an analysis of these materials. I reveal that a high degree of variation was observed in funerary ritual across sites, and suggest that this points to a complex system of regional networks that allowed for the widespread travel of people and ideas. I view this as evidence for the openness of archaic societies in Latium, whereby people and groups seem to have moved across regions with what seems to have been a fair degree of mobility.
