RIP Battle of Midway

Man, he was a game one.

As my mother points out, he sired a couple of horses before he was brought back. So maybe we will get to see one of them do well.

The situation is severe and a threat to racing there and everywhere.

Another Horse Dies During Training at Santa Anita Park
Bloodhorse today


The LA Times tonight
Santa Anita death toll for horses rises to 19 in last two months after another one died Monday
In the sports section still, thankfully.
