Also headed to auction are works by Beatriz Milhazes, Rose Wylie, Damien Hirst, Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami, Henry Taylor, and Charline von Heyl. Related Articles Once one of the most visible collecting couples in Europe, the Zabludowiczes appear to have in recent years scaled back some of their operations, closing their private museum in London in 2023 after more than a decade and a half in operation. The museum said at the time that it would continue to run a permanent space on the Finnish island of Sarvisalo, and that the main focus was to loan out works rather than to …

So Happy wins Santa Anita Derby but another horse is euthanized

Published by Sam Flores

It’s been anything but a happy year for trainer Mark Glatt, whose wife of 25 years, Dena, died Feb. 12 from cardiac arrest at 57. But Glatt could at least gain a moment of joy on a warm Saturday afternoon in Arcadia when his 3-year-old colt, the heretofore ironically named So Happy, pulled off an upset victory in the Grade 1 $500,000 Santa Anita Derby. “It’s pretty hard to describe,” an emotional Glatt said in the winner’s circle. “We have had an overwhelming amount of support, and it’s helped us get through this very, very tough time. She got that horse there today.” The win pushed So Happy into fourth place on the Kentucky Derby points list with 115. The top 17 North American points leaders will be eligible to start in the May 2 race at Churchill Downs. Runner-up Potente, trained by Bob Baffert, moved into the top 10 with 100. A 7-1 longshot ridden by Hall of Famer Mike Smith, So Happy won by 2 3/4 lengths and paid $16.60 after his first …

Santa Anita Park sues California Department of Justice over alleged warrantless seizure

Santa Anita Park sues California Department of Justice over alleged warrantless seizure

Published by skeptic

Just days after California police officers removed new gambling machines from Santa Anita Park, the Los Angeles Turf Club (LATC), which operates the racecourse, has filed a writ of mandate against the California Department of Justice (DOJ). It was on January 15 when the horse-racing location installed 26 new gambling machines, but they were removed by police officers from the state Department of Justice shortly after. Unsurprisingly, Santa Anita has filed suit against Rob Bonta's office for what it claims was an unconstitutional seizure of 26 HHR machines https://t.co/KRLlmkgiEn — Jessica Welman (@jesswelman) January 21, 2026 This was reported to be due to the machines being considered to be in breach of California’s exclusive tribal gaming rights laws. The raid is described, however, within the filing, to have taken place “without warning or a warrant” on January 17, 2026. In the lawsuit, which has been seen by ReadWrite, the LATC states they are seeking the return of the self-service tote terminals which were seized by the DOJ. They are also seeking a declaration prohibiting DOJ, …

The Misery of December by Anita Mohammed

Published by José Betancourt

Anita Mohammed’s debut novel, The Misery of December, arrives with the force of a winter storm descending upon the quiet streets of Burlington, Vermont. Published by Gatekeeper Press in 2025, this crime thriller introduces readers to a world where carefully negotiated peace can shatter overnight, where the line between justice and survival blurs, and where December babies are destined to untangle the chaos that threatens to consume an entire city. The novel opens in October 2007, immersing us in the daily routine of Detective Anara Ali, a woman who begins her mornings before dawn with coffee, prayer, and the sobering reality of radio broadcasts announcing Burlington’s latest violence. What follows is a meticulously crafted narrative that weaves together organized crime, cultural heritage, personal sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of justice. The Heart of the Story: Burlington’s Fragile Equilibrium For nearly two decades, Burlington has operated under an unusual arrangement. Three crime syndicates—led by Vladimir Umansky of the Russian faction, Curtis Chang of the Chinese organization, and Abdul Khan of the Afghan network—have maintained a peace …
