|   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'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. |

 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. |
