The Aneth Point Downs racetrack is a focal point for communities in southeastern Utah. “That’s pretty much what I do,” said horse trainer Broderick Lee, who was raised on the track. “As soon as I get off work, I come to the horse corral and start tying them up, grooming them, getting them ready to go exercise. And that's how I grew up – loving horses and everything.” Lee spoke to KZMU News for our latest audio portrait. Plus, after their regional paleontologist assessed the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite, the BLM has acknowledged ‘unacceptable’ damage occurred to the 112-million-year-old resource during a work project.
