Chad Johnson beats a race horse on River Downs turf:

Global betting of big races with huge commingled pools starts today in France
'Punters in Brazil, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Monaco and South Africa may join French punters to wager a minimum unit, comparable to the US dollar, on a trifecta on the French classic through official outlets linked with the initiative.' Canada and the US are expected to join in soon.

Thoroughbred Expresso saved from going to a Canadian slaughterhouse
Slaughtering ex race horses is the lowest thing anyone in the industry can do. And I believe it still goes on in Canada. Program in the US is set up to allow prison inmates to take care of ex race horses who could have been up for slaughter.
Sealy Hill jogs in the Oaks. Good time too. I'd love to see her in the Plate especially after what filly, Rags To Riches, did in the Belmont to the boys. Plus, I'd like to see a certain jockey not win the Plate.
Pretty neat that the victory came on the same day that the Ruffian movie was aired. Good movie. They kept it simple, as most horse racing movies are. I did notice a mistake. In the first race of Ruffian's life, the tote board had prices lit up on it. I'm sure there were other gaffs and inaccuracies.
