Beetlebaum:
Horseracing was the country's number one sport back in the twenties and thirties. Now, it's an also-ran.
There's a move on to save the tracks by boosting simulcasting rights and allowing slot machines but there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm behind it. Rightfully so. There are other more important opportunities around town these days to save dying sports. Maybe we should be talking about slot machines in Fenway.
