Hockey and Horses: a Lot on the Line

News flash: Gary Bettman has canceled next year’s hockey season, as well. Apparently, he was reacting to T.J. Simers’ statement, “I’ll write about hockey before I write another word about [horse] racing.”

On behalf of all hockey fans in Los Angeles, please tell us it ain’t so, Simers.

Someone once said that horse racing “is a difference of opinion.” Surely Jeff Mullins is entitled to his opinion on bettors.

I have dealt directly with bettors for 47 years; there is some truth in his statements. That includes press box bettors.
