...Enigma: Fusaichi Pegasus's stablemate, also trained by Drysdale, is War Chant, who is lightly raced but frighteningly strong. The grandson of Derby champ Northern Dancer, War Chant is 3-for-4 lifetime, with his most impressive win in the March 4 San Rafael Stakes.

The investigation centers on the testimony of turncoat cop Rafael Perez, a Rampart CRASH officer who squealed after he was caught stealing cocaine from an evidence room. A cover story in Thursday's L.A. Times, for which the paper received exclusive access to Internal Affairs and D.A. documents of Perez's testimony, lists such police infractions as beating and framing innocent people, using deadly force against unarmed...
