Her appointment appears so random to me... but I know virtually nothing about her except that she has owned and ridden horses for years. That doesn't necessarily make her qualified in my book, but I'm hoping there's more reasons as to why she was appointed. The press coverage doesn't make it seem like she has a whole lot of credentials aside from being a political activist.

It isn't random(to me.) Arnold is gunna be on the hunt (for trim) until he drops. Simple as that. Here is a portion of a pretty funny interview from March 2000 on Larry King.

KING: Have you been annoyed by the fact that you've taken so much kidding over the years? People have always had fun that you weren't an actress, that this was all some sort of sham.

DEREK: Well they weren't exactly wrong.

KING: Did anyone say, let's go for drama lessons?

DEREK: Yes, but...

KING: Why?

DEREK: Why? I was working and making a lot of money, and I didn't have to, so...

KING: What high school did you go to?

DEREK: Well, I didn't finish, but I went to Narbaun (ph).

KING: You quit high school.

DEREK: Yes, but I met John and went off to Greece to make a film, and then we lived in Europe for years, so I got a fabulous education.

Bo actually does follow racing and has been involved in the anti-slaughter movement and racehorse retirement.
While I'm sure that there may be some more knowledgable people, she's certainly "name" enough to bring attention to racing issues in the mainstream.
