Article by Jay Hovdey: Upon winning the 2003 running of the $1 million Pacific Classic with the Argentine whiz Candy Ride, Ron McAnally was asked by an enterprising TV reporter how it felt to “finally” win the marquee event of Del Mar’s summer meeting by the sea. McAnally flash his famous squinting grin and replied:
“Finally? It’s only been run 13 years.”

FORT SUMNER – Did Billy have a gun?
July 14 marked the 140th anniversary of the night Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett killed outlaw Billy the Kid in a darkened room of a house in Old Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
That’s a fact. Never mind what you saw in the “Young Guns II” movie, most reputable historians and researchers agree that Garrett shot the Kid to death that night. What some doubt, however, is that the Kid was carrying a gun at the time, as Garrett and others on the scene reported.

In his recent essay in The Atlantic, Obijwe tribal member David Treuer proposes returning ownership of America’s national parks to descendants of the Indigenous peoples who inhabited those lands prior to the arrival of white Europeans in North America.
If ever there was a scary-brilliant idea, Treuer’s is it.
Treuer’s proposal is scary because change is, well, scary.
His idea is brilliant because it offers a simple, straightforward way to honor America’s original stewards by returning the most magnificent and iconic portions of the American landscape to their descendants.
