LETTER From The EDITOR

It’s been 75 years since Bing Crosby greeted the first fan to pass through the gates at the

Del Mar Races. Back then, the venue was a playground for Old Hollywood, a place to

watch and be watched.

Today, the races are, just as their marketing touts—as “cool as ever.” The San Diego

institution still attracts the region’s shakers and movers, drawn to the allure that

accompanies speed and power. There’s something about the grace of the horses, the thrill

of the race that brings us back every year. It’s a spirited event that captures the essence of

who we are as a county. The races are San Diego.

In this issue, we celebrate our ties to “where the surf meets the turf ” by overviewing

the races’ storied past and promising future. We talk to horse owners and introduce

Tranquility Farm, an organization that takes in retired and injured thoroughbreds. And,

of course, we bring you the latest in trend and Del Mar fashions.

Much has changed in the last 75 years, but much is the same. The Del Mar Races

opened in spite of the Great Depression and saw its way through several ups and downs.

Similarly, today’s story shows the power of spirit in the face of adversity.

And the record crowds entering the gates on Opening Day show one thing: the spirit of

San Diego remains the same.

Painful blade-and-suture dental surgery is so last season.

Dr. Valentina Obradovic of Smiles by Valentina in

La Jolla and Adriatic Dental in San Marcos offers

the latest in laser therapy to treat gum disease quickly and

effectively.

Not only does Dr. Obradovic offer the best in preventative

and holistic care, it is equipped with the LANAP protocol, a

FDA-cleared Laser Periodontitis Treatment that offers a less-

painful and less-invasive alternative to conventional scalpel

and suture-flap surgery.

Gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, is a silent

bacterial infection that often goes undetected or ignored until

severe gum and bone destruction demand attention. In fact,

50 out of every 100 Americans have moderate-to-severe gum

disease, but 40 of the 50 don’t even know it. And fewer than

two of them will get treated before it’s too late.

Dr. Obradovic is intent on ensuring this doesn’t happen to

her patients.

“We want to help you be proactive in all areas of your oral

health to keep your teeth and gums free of tooth decay and

periodontal disease,” says Dr. Obradovic, who is one of the

first dentists to offer this LANAP protocol technology in San

Diego.

The magic of this procedure is in its simplicity. Instead

of cutting away tissue, this procedure actually regenerates

some of the bone and regrowth of the periodontal ligament,

encouraging the body to heal itself naturally.

Patients enjoy several benefits of this breakthrough

technology:

• Less Pain: The LANAP protocol helps avoid cutting

and stitching of the gums, leading to less post-operative

discomfort in most cases.

• Fewer Sessions: Procedure requires only one or two

sessions with the dentist, with two follow-up visits—much

less than conventional surgery.

• Quicker Recovery: Patients can say goodbye to

prolonged pain, swelling and diet restrictions. Most

return to their regular activities immediately following the

procedure, which generally requires less than a 24-hour

recovery period.

Pat Walsh is just one of Dr. Obradovic’s patients who have

benefited from this procedure.

“Your standard of excellence is evident in the way you

match color when supplying a dental prosthesis, or using the

new laser treatment to treat gum disease. Your preventative

management has saved me several teeth that I may have lost

going to a dentist who isn’t on the cutting edge of dentistry.

Thank you for your standards of excellence!” says Walsh.

Adriatic Dental helps patients save their teeth, preserve

their natural smiles and avoid the potentially life-threatening

systemic effects of untreated gum disease. Now that’s what we

call fashionable.

Take a Plane, Take a Train, Take a horSeLocal thoroughbred owners prefer to take a horse to Del Mar.

A little more than a century ago, horse-racing was the second most popular sport in the United States, behind only Major League baseball. But when Bing Crosby and Pat O’Brian opened the Del Mar Racetrack in 1937, the popularity of horse-racing had reached an all-time low. No one even knew how long the facilities would endure.More than 60 years later, the racetrack stands

as one of San Diego’s most notable landmarks. It is an integrated part of our city’s identity. And starting this month, horse fever takes hold of San Diego. Average attendance at the races for the last decade

is more than one million visitors per year—a third of the entire population of San Diego. Most go simply to see and be seen. A select few, however, hold a much greater stake in the events.Jeff Bloom recently threw his hat into the game of horse

ownership—but he is no novice. Although he had no family history or prior experience in the sport, the former jockey claims he knew his fate on his first visit to Del Mar: “The second I walked into that place, I knew then and there that that was what I wanted to do.”Arrangements were soon made for the young Bloom, then

14 years old, to train at the San Luis Rey Downs, an auxiliary training track in Bonsall. It is common practice for aspiring

jockeys to leave their home for several years to shadow a pro or an expert.“It’s not very formalized,” Bloom says of the training. “Most

jockeys learn at a farm, but there was a guy who took me in and trained me to be a jockey.” By age 17, Bloom was ready to go professional, and continued competing for nine straight years.Since then, Bloom recently launched his own

company, Bloom Racing Stable LLC, and owns and manages six different horses. His horses compete in the Del Mar Races yearly.“We’re just kind of building up,” Bloom says,

having only been in the game a few years, “but Majestic City, one of ours, was one of the top-rated two year olds nationally.”Even after meeting with some early success,

Bloom acknowledges that thoroughbred ownership is a labor of love. “Everyone will tell you horse-racing is for the lifestyle of it,”

he explains. “It’s a tough business model. Kind of like being the owner of a sports franchise.” The biggest obstacle for an owner to overcome, according

to Bloom, is impatience. With horses getting injured regularly and the process of training being naturally time-consuming and laborious, it can come as quite a heartbreak to see a horse

lose. But Bloom maintains that “whether you are talking about a horse running in a big or a small race, when you see your horse finish first, it’s an amazing feeling.”If winning anywhere is exhilarating, then winning at Del Mar

touches on the sublime. “San Diego is a paradise for racing horses,” Bloom says.

“You’ve got the best trainers, best jockeys, biggest purses. Del Mar will always be the best racetrack in the country. For most jockeys it’s like a working vacation.”The Del Mar races are by nature much different than other

tracks in SoCal. Jon Lindo, local horse owner and handicapper, sums up the differences well.“Del Mar is unique because it is just seven weeks a year in

San Diego,” Lindo explains. “With year-round racing in Los Angeles, you lose some of the excitement of going to the races on a day-in, day-out basis.”The brevity of the season lends itself to a more festive

environment as well.“Everything stops in San Diego on opening day,” Lindo says.

“It really becomes a seven-week party where you run into everyone you know.”Lindo has been owning and racing horses since 1986.

Currently, he has eight horses in training with Bill Spawr. Like Bloom, Lindo believes success in thoroughbred ownership is

largely contingent on being patient.

“Patience” and “being realistic” are his key phrases, which he

claims are even more necessary “while the bills are running.”

“It doesn’t matter if you have $80,000 invested in a horse and

that they can only win, for example, at the $25,000,” he says

of managing horses, “Better to win and generate the purse

earning than continue to get beat.”

In addition to supervising his own stable, Lindo also works

as a handicapper for the North County Times. Apparently,

handicapping, or predicting the winners, is much more an art

than a science.

“There’s so much to it,” Lindo says. “You start with simple

things like pace, and then figure out who’s going to be in the

lead, try and figure out which horses are good on grass and

which on turf, and then look at pedigree.”

The list of considerations is so long, and the number of

confounding variables so high, that handicappers are compelled

to manage what to most might seem like an impossible task.

But Lindo insists that, in the end, “We’re just trying to figure

out when a horse is right for a place.”

Like handicapping, horse ownership is also an art, equally

blessed and plagued by a series of variables. And that’s what

we love most about our yearly horse fever.

Summer is in full swing, complete with the season’s

poolside parties, outdoor soirees and tropical getaways.

But this fun in the sun can strike fear in the hearts of

those who dread donning summer’s more revealing attire.

Unfortunately, even a glimpse of a bikini-clad mannequin

in a store window can make someone fall for a fad diet or

weight-loss gimmick out of sheer desperation. It’s no surprise

that weight loss is a billion dollar industry. Americans spend

more on nutritional supplements, health club memberships

and weight loss surgeries than all other countries combined—

yet we still have the “fattest” population, and our children are

being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes at an alarming rate.

So, why are we so overweight?

While the word “obese” conjures images of very large

individuals, “metabolically obese normal weight subjects”

have been described in medical research since the 1990s.

This means that the BMI (body mass index) is dead. Having

a normal BMI—or a normal height-to-weight ratio—is

irrelevant in many cases. Many Americans have a normal

BMI, but are still characterized by a higher-than-acceptable

body fat-to-lean muscle mass ratio. And this normal weight

obesity (NOW) is significantly associated with cardiometabolic

dysregulation and a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome, or syndrome X, is a combination of

four factors that are strong predictors of serious health risks:

abdominal fat, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure and

high blood glucose levels. A person does not have to exhibit

all four factors to be at risk, and none of these factors need be

extremely high to be considered present.

Understanding the physiology behind how we store fat, how

we burn fat and how we maintain weight loss once it has been

achieved is vital to our health as individuals.

If eating less and exercising more were the answer to the

problem, we could all stand and cheer. While exercise is a very

important part of maintaining a healthy weight and building

lean muscle—the engine that burns calories—Americans have

been trying to eat less and exercise their way to weight loss for

decades to no avail.

For most people who are struggling with extra weight in

the form of body fat, the problem is sugar. After a lifetime

of eating processed, carbohydrate- and sugar-laden foods, our

pancreases are literally exhausted. Insulin is the primary fat

storage hormone, and when it is circulating in the blood at

high levels, the body will store carbohydrates as fat. Tissues

then become resistant to the positive and necessary effects of

insulin. Adding insult to injury are the chemicals we consume,

unknowingly, that unleash metabolic chaos on our finely-tuned

systems.

Losing fat rather than lean muscle mass requires us to reduce

our sugar intake in order to use fat as energy. If we have plenty

of fruit smoothie in the gas tank, the body has no need to go

into fat stores. Lean muscle mass must be maintained to avoid

“rebounding” and regaining weight in the form of fat after it

has been shed.

There are techniques and protocols to lose unhealthy fat

and maintain lean mass. But if this is offered in the form of a

stimulant drug or a pregnancy hormone, beware! There are

no magic pills, miracle injections or exotic potions that will

give us real and lasting changes in our weight and health.

Weight loss should be supervised by a licensed healthcare

professional who can monitor vital signs, body composition,

health status and the potential need to adjust medications.

Any weight loss method should target weight gain at its source,

which is insulin resistance. Maintenance should include

continued support and monitoring, as well as an exercise and

eating plan that make sense. No diet is a vaccine against weight

gain, and since most people regain weight after it has been lost,

any program which does not offer a solid, whole food-based

maintenance plan should be avoided like…. sugar!

Losing fat rather than lean muscle mass requires us to reduce our sugar intake in order to use fat as energy.

SeaSide reTreaTEscape to The Resort at Pelican Hill for unsurpassed pampering and amenities.

Summer is the season to relax and recover, to relinquish

life’s daily stresses and explore exciting new landscapes.

Luckily, San Diegans don’t have to travel far to indulge

in the unprecedented amenities of The Resort at Pelican Hill,

a five-star property located on the coast of nearby Newport

Beach.

Backed by sweeping views of the Pacific, the resort’s

architecture was influenced by Andrea Palladio’s designs of

the Italian Renaissance. Coupled with Southern California’s

trademark weather, Pelican Hill feels like an escape to the

Italian seaside.

“Guests expect an exceptional vacation experience when

staying at America’s top-ranked resort,” says Kate Starr, the

resort’s public relations manager. “The Resort at Pelican

Hill transports guests a world away with its enviable location

featuring endless ocean views, luxurious amenities, gracious

personalized service and value.”

Summer guests enjoy a variety of activities, including golf

academies and clinics with professional golf extraordinaire

Glenn Deck, who was recognized by Golf Magazine as one

of the top 100 teachers in America. Beginners and avid

golfers alike can improve their swings and putting skills with

a selection of several golf packages, ranging from half-day to

full-weekend excursions.

Pelican Hill boasts two remarkable 18-hole ocean-view golf

courses designed by Tom Fazio, both making the list of Golf

Digest’s top 100 public golf courses in America. For extended

relaxation—and to enhance golf games—the summer series

includes YogaGolf, which combines a golf clinic with a sunset

yoga session.

“Whether you’re here for a day, a weekend or a longer

summer vacation, we look forward to welcoming golfers… to

experience the finest of Southern California golf,” says Steve

Friedlander, vice president at the Pelican Hill Golf Club.

The resort is also an ideal destination for a family vacation.

Families can plan an extended stay at one of Pelican Hill’s

secluded villas and experience some extensive relaxation with

every personal appointment possible. There is a full concierge

service with a personal butler on staff available around the

clock to cater to every need, from scheduling a private chef,

to planning out a customized meal and serving it in your own

ocean-view terrace, to scenting the room with aromatherapy.

And speaking of rooms, Pelican Hill is truly a home away from

home, offering so much pampering and comfort that families

may opt not to leave. Guests can select from the spacious two,

three and four-bedroom floor plans, complete with a gourmet

kitchen with all of the state-of the art appliances, marble-tiled

bathrooms and 500-count threaded linens.

After settling into their vacation sanctuary, parents can

break away for a date night and dine in one of the award-

winning restaurants, including Andrea. Adults can enjoy

an uninterrupted moment to savor the regional cuisine of

Northern Italy—or to indulge a spa treatment—while children

engage in activities offered at Camp Pelican. Like the resort

itself, Camp Pelican considers all the details to make the stay

memorable for children. Activities for children include movie

nights, introduction to yoga and junior golf camps.

After enjoying individual preferences, families can reunite

in the Coliseum Pool, the world’s largest circular pool.

Surrounded by columns and arches accented with mosaic tiles,

the pool is another tribute to Italy’s Golden Age.

And while relaxing in a cabana, guests just might think

they’ve gone to the Mediterranean.

Pelican Hill is offering spe-cial events and accommodations throughout the festival weekend. For more information, visit pelicanhill.com.

a SeCond lifeTranquility Farms offers refuge to retired and injured thoroughbreds.

Nestled in a valley between the Tehachapi Mountains and the

Mojave Desert sits Tranquility Farm, home to more than 100

thoroughbred racehorses that are either retired or waiting for

adoption. The 40 acres of rich grasslands and oak trees serve

as transitional space in which the thoroughbreds freely roam.

The farm’s beauty is only surpassed by its mission, which is

to prevent widespread slaughter that used to be the norm for

unwanted racehorses. Day-to-day retirement and adoption

efforts are directed by president and thoroughbred advocate,

Priscilla Clark, who manages the farm with only two other

staff members.

There are many reasons a horse might come to Tranquility

Farm, Clark explains.

“Horses come to us sometimes due to injury that prevents

them from competing,” she says. “Or they might just be slow

racers—or sometimes they have had a successful race career

and it’s just time to retire them. Of course, because the horse

population has been over-bred at times, some come to us due

to a flooded market.”

Clark is passionate about Tranquility Farm’s mission.

Coming from a thoroughbred background, Clark’s realization

that unwanted horses were being slaughtered galvanized her

into action.

“I became compelled,” Clark says. “The slaughter was epic

in earlier years—four times what it is now—and I felt I had to

do something.”

Gary Biszantz also felt he had to do something. He established

contact with Clark in 1996, discussing how to improve and

remedy the plight of unwanted and injured racehorses.

In 1998, the two found an abandoned ranch. No stranger

to taking action, Biszantz offered to outright purchase the

property, which would later become Tranquility Farm, telling

Clark, “I’ll just buy it.”

“I was floored,” Clark recalls of the property, which Biszantz

named the Harry A. Biszantz Memorial Center, after his father.

“Besides the initial purchase Biszantz, together with

contributors John and Geri Amerman, has contributed

thousands of dollars to developing the infrastructure, along

with maintaining ongoing care, rehabilitation and retraining

efforts for the horses.”

Despite these efforts, it’s becoming more and more difficult to

place horses in new homes.

“It used to be we could place approximately 50 percent of

the horses in new homes, but that number has declined,” Clark

says. “Even though our adoption fees are modest, it’s expensive

to own a horse. In the current economic climate there are just

fewer people able to maintain the expenses.”

There is also a significant training gap between a thoroughbred

and a pleasure horse.

“We try to retrain as many horses as we can, but some are

just not able to make the bridge from racing to becoming a

pleasure horse, though a good number of them can,” says

Clark, who has adopted out nearly 500 horses over the years.

“Retrained thoroughbreds are still high voltage horses and

they do best with younger, energetic owners,” Clark says.

“You’ve got to have a lot of energy for these horses—most do

very well with owners having parallel personality and energy

levels.”

Approximately one quarter of Tranquility Farm’s revenue is

contributed by the racing industry itself. Indeed, the Del Mar

Thoroughbred Club donates a percentage of their proceeds

raised from their Annual Charity Day. The remaining 75

percent of the farm’s budget is raised by individual donors,

who are pillars of the program, along with other fund-raising

activities.

Even Biszantz’s daughter, Shannon Biszantz is equally

committed, donating 5 percent of her own Real Estate

Consulting business’ income to support the farm’s efforts.

“We are always eager for fundraising help,” Clark says.

“While we have a wonderful donor pool, we are also hopeful

that the industry will expand contributions. Still, one of the

best ways for horse people to donate to Tranquility Farm is to

help us raise more money to support our retired and retrained

thoroughbreds.”

Biszantz puts it in even stronger terms, believing now is the

time for action, for the racing industry itself to do more.

“What we established 15 years ago in Tranquility Farm

was intended to be a model for a national effort. Ninety-six

percent of proceeds we raise go for actual horse care, with the

remaining funds going to administration,” he says. “Jockey

clubs, owners, the Breeders Association and racetracks—every

segment of the industry—could contribute, maybe between

$10 to 20 million, distributing money to accredited retirement

farms around the country.”

Clark and Biszantz share an enormous sense of purpose and

passion to provide the best life for the retired thoroughbred.

Extending humane conditions and a second life these beautiful

creatures is what Tranquility Farm is all about.

Del Mar shuts down as the United States enters World

ing by the Marines, but are later converted into a man-

ufacturing site for parts to B-17 bombers. When Japan

15 a national holiday, and 20,324 turn out at the track

to bet a whopping $958,476, a Del Mar record.

To help ring in the 75th anniversary of the historic Del Mar Races, we’ve compiled a list of some of the greatest moments in the track’s storied history.

And Away They Go…The Del Mar Races celebrates 75 years of legend and excitement.

By Logan Broyles

1991For the inaugural edition of

the track’s richest and most

prestigious race, John and Betty

Mabee’s hometown favorite

Best Pal zooms to an impressive

tally in the $1-million Pacific

Classic as the lone 3-year-old in

a powerhouse lineup.

1960Del Mar unveils its brand-new seven-

eighths mile turf course with a unique

diagonal chute that allows for a mile

and one-sixteenth and mile and one-

eighth starts. The course is an instant

success.

1970

Bill Shoemaker surpasses Longden’s

mark and becomes the new winningest

rider with 6,033 wins.

1977

Bing Crosby makes a final visit to

the track he founded before passing

away later that year. His memory

lives on at Del Mar each summer by

virtue of lore, legend and his now-

famous rendition of “Where the

Turf Meets the Surf.”

1984 South African racing commentator Trevor Den-

man takes over the microphone on the Del Mar

roof. From then on, it’s, “And away they go.”

1985Del Mar completes an underground tunnel into its in-

field and fans flock to the center of the track for special

events, picnics, Frisbee flings, concerts and close-up

views of the thoroughbred action.

On Labor Day, leading rider Victor

Espinoza wins seven races on one

card, a feat never before accom-

plished at the shore oval.

2006

2011Del Mar sets a single-day record

for attendance when 46,588 fans

pour in sporting fancy hats and a

carnivalesque spirit.

The 75th season of the Del Mar

Races, including the one and

only Truly Fabulous Hats Con-

test, opens on Wednesday, July

18. And away we go….

IT DOES A BODY GOODSlip into summer with natural spa treatments.

As we settle into summer, swimsuits, trunks, shorts and

dresses make their way to the front of our closets.
