But they
were in it. They used to be involved more and have been scaling back. We took a back seat to Little League baseball and hockey for awhile there. I once saw them air a spelling bee instead of an important horse race. What passes for sports on ESPN is dicey sometimes. Poker and pool shouldn't qualify. It doesn't mean they can't do a good job with racing. I just don't think they want to spend much time on it these days.
