Virtual Racing Postponed
No mention of this in the Boston Globe or the Boston Herald, but a Derby lister reports that Massachusetts state treasurer Tim Cahill and Suffolk Downs COO Robert O’Malley were on the local TV news show “Greater Boston” Thursday night, discussing the state lottery’s plan to introduce a virtual horseracing Keno game this fall. The most interesting point: That Cahill said the lottery commission will postpone the game’s introduction until further notice, apparently because of the fuss kicked up by state legislators in a public hearing on April 14.
