Steve, I thought Canada was trying to get rid of racing, or is that just Ontario?

Ontario. Specifically Provincial Premier McGuinty. No one else seems to have been for the move.

Speaking of harness racing -- what in the hell was that at Indiana Downs today?

Buggy racing without the buggy I've seen on Youtube before --- but I never expected to see it at Indiana Downs.

I can remember those days in the 70's when you had to fight to get a seat in the grandstand. Best bilingual race caller in the business"Boom just like that"

I'd have thought it was retour des courses de chevaux (I mean if nothing else it has to be des since it's plural, right?) but what do I know.

You are correct.

From the paper headlines:
Retour des courses de chevaux: un succès inespéré


Les courses de chevaux ont effectué leur retour à Trois-Rivières, dimanche. Si les organisateurs espéraient obtenir une salle comble de 3000 personnes, c'est finalement une foule estimée à 6000 amateurs qui s'est présentée à l'hippodrome.
