The Fourth of July is as good a day as any to reflect how horse racing has become sports’ most popular pinata. A lot of rage is being bandied about. But if it’s from people who care about the sport, then I can accept it. That energy just needs to be channeled in a positive way.
For all the experts who told me that casino gaming was “recession proof,” I have two words for you: You’re wrong.
