Kavanagh raced the filly with some mates and at her second KAV=S GIRLS start she claimed some valuable black type when winning the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude. She was then without luck in the G1 Blue KEEP PRODUCING Diamond S. at her next start. "She was a fast 2-year-old that sat pretty deep in the Diamond and if things were different she probably could have won," Kavanagh said. Ongoing throat issues saw her sidelined for 12 months, and while she returned a winner at Moonee Valley first-up, she never got back to her best. Willow Park's Glen Burrows then bought her as a breeding prospect on behalf of Michael Birchall, and masterminded her first foal, a Lonhro filly who sold for $425,000 at the 2012 Easter Sale to New Zealand's Gary Harding.

MITOLE: A MEMENTO OF ED COX SO, WHAT WOULD IT TAKE by Chris McGrath TO APPEASE ANIMAL When a horseman as seasoned as Bill Landes ventures the possibility that Mitole may be the fastest Thoroughbred ever RIGHTS ACTIVISTS? raised at Hermitage Farm, it is time to hang onto our hats. Hermitage, after all, first sent up a yearling to auction in 1937; and Landes himself has been there since 1977. The man who hired him, Warner L. Jones Jr., had bred Dark Star, the only horse ever to beat ; while in his own time Landes, named Ted Bates Farm Manager of the Year in 2017, has handled animals as resonant as Woodman, Northern Trick, world-record yearling Seattle Dancer and, more recently, West Coast (Flatter).

The Democratic Senator from California does not have the power to close racing at Santa Anita, but her voice is a powerful and influential one and her latest statement further tightened the noose around Santa Anita’s neck. Not that everyone, be they a politician, an animal rights activist, an owner, trainer, even a $2 bettor, should not want horse racing to be as safe as possible for the equine athletes, but the timing of her assault on the sport was not fair. It was also a sign that this issue is just not going to go away easily. Not when Santa Anita has done so much to turn the corner and so few horses have broken down since the initial rash of fatalities. And at least one of the accusations she leveled was preposterous. She implied that the over-racing of horses may be part of the problem. Someone on her staff should have told her that in the long history of the sport, horses have, as a whole, never raced so infrequently. Under the leadership of The Stronach Group, Santa Anita has taken strides to make the sport as safe as possible that are unprecedented.

Cont. p4 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 10 • THETDN.COM MONDAY • JUNE 3, 2019

That means that over a 55-day period, three horses have died at Santa Anita. Unfortunately, that number is not at all out of the ordinary. In a sport where fatalities are unavoidable, since Mar. 29 Santa Anita, by any measure, simply has not been an unsafe racetrack. All of which begs the question: What do PETA and other animal rights activists want? If it is for racing to follow, or even go beyond the protocols, that The Stronach Group has implemented and racing follows suit, then a cease fire is possible. But everyone in racing should be worried that even that won’t be enough. You can bring back synthetic tracks, ban every drug under the sun, get rid of whips, kick out every trainer who doesn’t give their horses the very best care possible or is believed to use performance-enhancing drugs and still horses will die. That’s the cold, harsh reality of horse racing. Can the animal rights community accept that? Is one death one too many, and, to them, reason why horse racing should be banned nationwide? If so, racing may well be mired in a fight it cannot win. People in horse racing love to hate PETA, and PETA often gives them good reason to do so (e.g. blaming jockey Gabriel Saez for the breakdown of Eight Belles in the GI Kentucky Derby). But for a group that so many have labeled as out-of-control radicals, its reaction to the Santa Anita situation has been somewhat subdued. I asked PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo what her organization does and does not find tolerable and this was her answer: “That's a complicated question. I don't accept, first of all, that it's proven that horses will die no matter what. First of all, horses die, humans die, all animals die, I get that and that's going to happen in any endeavor where horses are used. But I don't think that nearly enough has been done to know whether or not we can get that fatality rate down to zero. At the very least, everybody should be trying to get there and doing everything possible.” And what if every track in the U.S. got as serious about safety issues as Santa Anita has? “I look at what Santa Anita has done, they had that six weeks after they implemented the first rules,” she said. “We felt those rules were fantastic but not strong enough. We think there is more that can be done and we're working with them on that right now and with the California Horse Racing Board. So, I think more can be done. They had those six weeks with no problems, and then they had some odd things that came up. They weren't really odd, it's just that the rules weren't yet strong enough to deal with those things that had happened, so they strengthened the rules again.” But does the number have to be zero?
