The Future of Horse Racing. Horse racing nationwide is under pressure from a horse and rider safety perspective and from rapidly expanding gaming options across the country. While there is new federal oversight of racing safety and implementation of the Horseracing Integrity Safety Authority, pari-mutuel handle is growing rapidly via Historical Horse Racing machines and other unique uses of pari-mutuel methodology for new gaming options.

Phil has a question:
If 26,620 is the largest crowd in 7 years for the CFL team in the largest city in Canada for the Eastern Final and plenty of the fans still had their empty seat costumes from Halloween on how long before the CFL is history.
How many people in Canada know who the Grey Cup Halftime entertainment is.
People are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what’s wrong with it.
Noel Coward
‘Anna Karenina’ is just a story about a woman falling in love with a bloke who is not her husband. It’s gossip, rubbish – on the other hand, it’s the deepest story there could be about social transgression, about love, betrayal, duty, children.
Hanif Kureishi
Bloodhorse – Lauren Gash – Consistent Trade Through Day 4 at Keeneland November
It’s discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.
Noel Coward
The kind of people who always go on about whether a thing is in good taste invariably have very bad taste.

Bloodhorse – Byron King – Breeders’ Cup TV Ratings Behind Leading Football Games
The 2023 Texas Rangers – Arizona Diamondbacks World Series hit an all time low in TV viewership, but the Breeders’ Cup would have been ecstatic if their ratings were close to the 2023 World Series.
It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.
Salvador Dali
I believe that it’s better to be looked over than it is to be overlooked.
Mae West
All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

Can you roast
your Brussels Sprouts
in an air fryer
in a garage
in the winter
in the cold
in the dark.
I do not like them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.

Say! I like green eggs and ham!
I do! I like them, Sam-I-Am!
And I would eat them in a boat.
And I would eat them with a goat…
And I will eat them, in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good, so good, you see!
So I will eat them in a box.
And I will eat them with a fox.
And I will eat them in a house.
And I will eat them with a mouse.
And I will eat them here and there.
Say! I will eat them anywhere!
I do so like green eggs and ham!
Thank you! Thank you, Sam-I-Am.
