JC / Railbird - And Then There Were Five

And Then There Were Five

Not a surprise, but still startling in its starkness: “Only five full-time positions remain in the United States for people writing exclusively on thoroughbred racing for general circulation newspapers” (Paul Moran at the Races).

Wow, I guess it’s sad when I can name them off of the top of my head: Jennie Reese (Louisville), MaryJean Wall (Lexington), Andy Beyer/JSchineman (D.C.), Richard Eng (Los Angeles), Gary West (Dallas), Fountaine (NY Post)… wait that’s six. And I think The Time-Picayune may have a full time writer about state racing… maybe five is a bit pessimistic.
