Breaking: Santa Anita’s unprecedented run of six weeks without an equine fatality ended on Friday morning when Commander Coil broke down during training with a shoulder injury and was subsequently euthanized.
“Congrats Gal suffered sudden death after the eight race [Friday],” the Maryland Jockey Club and The Stronach Group said in a statement. “The incident occurred after the wire. Commission veterinarians attended to the horse immediately. Our thoughts go out to all of the owners, trainers and connections of Congrats Gal.”Horse safety has become one of the biggest issues in the industry after the spate of deaths in training or racing at Santa Anita between Dec. 26 and March 31.
The centerpiece of Friday’s racing at Pimlico was the Grade 2 $250,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, also for 3-year-old fillies. After the series of deaths at Santa Anita, Belinda Stronach, chief executive officer of The Stronach Group, instituted a series of safety reforms at the company’s two California tracks—Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields—that included a reduction in race day medication and more extensive veterinarian oversight, among other initiatives.

New ‘Call Of Duty’ Career Mode Lets Player Join Raytheon’s Board Of Directors After Military ServiceSANTA MONICA, CA—Introducing an update aimed at heightening the realism of the game, Activision announced Wednesday that a new career mode for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 allows playable characters who retire from the military to continue the fight by joining Raytheon’s board of directors. “Players who rack up enough confirmed kills in combat will now be able to take their adventure to the next level as they join a $50 billion company with the mission of building lethal weapons systems and maximizing profits for shareholders,” said Activision spokesperson Adam Bera, acknowledging this version of career mode tested better with gamers than a beta version in which the player is a discharged soldier who returns to his hometown, discovers there are few jobs available, and struggles to make ends meet. “Points are earned in career mode by attending meetings, securing hundreds of millions of dollars in Defense Department contracts, and appearing on cable news programs to fend off bad public relations for the military-industrial complex. Our award-winning developers even worked closely with current and former Raytheon executives to make sure all the golfing side quests in the game are as true to life as possible.” Bera went on to reveal that if Call Of Duty players beat career mode with 100% of achievements, they will be able to unlock Erik Prince as a playable character.
