SACRAMENTO, Calif. — You'd never know it from the incessant TV ads, but troubled horse racing would greatly benefit from a sports betting initiative on the November ballot.
In fact, Proposition 26 is seen by some as a savior of thoroughbred racing in California.
It would allow sports betting on professional games — football, etc.— at tribal casinos and four horse racetracks: Santa Anita, Del Mar, Los Alamitos and Golden Gate.
