Another good read this weekend is the article about Calvin Borel on the front page of the New York Times. He's another overnight success that took 30 years to get there.
The race canceled was the Pimlico Special, not, as the story said, the $500,000 Preakness Special. The drumbeat for slot machines does not address racing's fundamental ills, and outside commentators -- and, indeed, some on the inside -- fall back on it too easily.
