Tuesday Odds and Ends
– California pushes the ADW mess toward a solution, beginning an eight-month experiment that splits broadcast and wagering rights. So, video remains exclusive, but horseplayers can wager on any track through any online wagering service in the state (Blood-Horse).
– From ESPN Sports Poll: “The number of people in the U.S. ages 18+ who said they are interested in horse racing increased for an unmatched fifth consecutive year.”
– It was sad to see Lava Man finish sixth in the California Cup Classic against a field he would have demolished last year (LA Times); it was also sad to see Digger all alone in the Laurel winner’s circle (WashPost).
– Nashua winner Etched is Dubai-bound, as is impressive maiden winner Music Note (DRF).
