    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Part of the challenge for women in the sport is a narrowed path to the top for everyone. Many trainers begin on the backside as grooms and hot walkers (those responsible for cooling down the horses after a race or intense exercise) before working their way to assistant trainer positions in the barn of seasoned veterans. These pathways remain open, but former jockey and NBC Sports reporter Donna Barton Brothers believes the disappearance of mid-level tracks closed off some proving grounds for emerging trainers and jockeys, especially women."]]></description>

Noted: "Aqueduct is what Drew calls the N.Y.R.A's bread-and-butter track. It pulls in more money with less overhead than Belmont or Saratoga and attracts higher per-capita betting."

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["On September 14, 1959, the new modern Aqueduct opened. Just 12 days after it opened, Aqueduct took center stage with the much-anticipated showdown in the Woodward Stakes between the nation’s best 3-year-old Sword Dancer representing the East, the great Round Table representing the Midwest, and Hillsdale, the king of California. This was an epic confrontation to decide Horse of the Year honors. In the end, it was Sword Dancer nosing out Hillsdale in an exciting stretch run, and the new Aqueduct was on the map. Over the next 10 years, every Horse of the Year competed at The Big A that autumn."

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Author's note: Back in 2008-09, I attempted to write a book about my experiences working at Bay Meadows Racecourse during its final year, but I eventually abandoned the project. Recently, a person posted in the Bay Meadows, Golden Gate Fields & Nor Cal Fair Racing Memories Facebook group that she had recently adopted a 22-year-old mare who had been rescued from a kill pen in Oklahoma. She said the mare's name was Bai and Bai and was seeking information about her. I remembered that I wrote about Bai and Bai's victory over Somethinaboutlaura in the Foster City Handicap on March 1, 2008 at Bay Meadows as part of my attempt at writing a book and promised I would edit and post my account of the race. What I am posting here is a revised version of what I had written in late 2008. It was to be part of a chapter that focused on Russell Baze's and Jerry Hollendorfer's dominance over Northern California racing."]]></description>

Conjecture about steroid use in Secretariat’s era is not completely baseless—it was happening in horse racing, as well as in human athletes. But when firing a specific shot at an American sporting icon, accuracy and care are strongly recommended."]]></description>

3:05 there are a few obsessions shared by so many Americans of different backgrounds and persuasions

3:11 a 15 billion dollar industry and some 30 state treasuries depend on their willingness to take a chance to risk

3:19 their judgment and their money in a venture many believe is at least slightly crooked]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Trainer Joe Lejzerowicz said he frequently flips through his phone for photos of Freezing Point, the horse he brags about like parents do about their children. In many respects, the majestic animals are like family to their handlers and owners. It makes their stunning deaths all the more painful to grasp. That grief has been felt in particular with a recent spate of horse deaths at the home of the Kentucky Derby."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["From a legal perspective, it's probably a challenging idea to map out a set of circumstances that could trigger an automatic shutdown of racing at a given facility. And rightly so. As Lazarus pointed out in a media call May 30, people's livelihoods rest on horses entering races and earning money. Many people live on the backstretch, which will only keep providing housing as long as horses are stabled there. A disruption in training/racing cycles could also, over time, alter a horse's skeletal remodeling and we don't know whether that would be a net loss for the horse's safety. It can't and probably shouldn't be that easy to bring things to a sudden, crashing halt."]]></description>
