TDN MAGAZINE, The International Difference: Part III of A Painful Truth: "Welfare in Europe means to train the horse without any chemicals and make him race if he can face the challenge,” says France Galop's Dr. Roland Devolz. “In your country, welfare means to be allowed to use as many drugs as possible to ensure the horse will support training and race." Whose version is right? Part 3 of A Painful Truth examines North America's singular stance on medication. Download part three by clicking here.

Alw ($41K) [1m 70yd]

Winner: Mylute, c, 2 by Midnight Lute

7th-FGX, $41,330, Alw, Opt. Clm. ($50,000), NW1X, 2yo, 1m70y, 1:44 1/5, ft.
MYLUTE (c, 2, Midnight Lute--Stage Stop {SW, $252,320}, by Valid Expectations), a $150,000 FTKJUL yearling, bounced back from a fifth in the GIII Arlington-Washington Futurity Sept. 8 to finish second in the Jean Laffitte S. at Delta Downs Oct. 20. He outran his 25-1 odds to be third in the GIII Delta Jackpot S. Nov. 17, and was even-money here. The half-brother to She Digs Me (Henny Hughes), GSW, $151,840, traveled prominently from the start. Rider Rosie Napravnik gave Mylute his cue entering the stretch and the grey responded stylishly, drawing off to a 10 3/4-length triumph under a hand ride. General Election (Harlan’s Holiday), the post-time favorite also at even-money, settled for second. Lifetime Record: GSP, 7-2-2-2, $213,695. Click for the brisnet.com chart.
