Hollendorfer Mulling Options (Cont
MONDAY, JULY 1, 2019 HOLLENDORFER THE SPORT WILL MISS SUFFOLK DOWNS MORE THAN IT MIGHT THINK MULLING OPTIONS The Week in Review, by Bill Finley EAST BOSTON, MA - What if there were not a baseball team in Boston or had never been one? As preposterous as that may seem, just consider the what-ifs. How many people in, not only one of the most important cities in the country, but a huge region of the nation, would have wound up being baseball fans? The answer is a lot less than there are now. Baseball will never go away in Boston or New England, but horse racing has. There used to be racing in five New England states with as many as 13 tracks. After opening 84 years earlier to a crowd of 35,000, Suffolk Downs ran its last-ever race Sunday. They lost out on a bid to get a casino license, sold the property to a developer and the ancient old grandstand will be knocked down any day now.

RICE's DERBY CHOICE JOURNAL 2008 29Th Edition
RICE’S DERBY CHOICE JOURNAL 2008 29th Edition History does not record whether Aristotle was a handicapper or whether he ever even attended the chariot races. But among his contributions was the word kairos found in his treatise on rhetoric. The most broadly accepted English translation is perfect timing. No other term better summarizes the one element without which no horse can hope to wear the garland of roses in Louisville on the first Saturday in May. The list of superior runners that were denied the Derby trophy is seemingly endless. His training peaked too early or too late, he was boxed in tight quarters, a hole closed in a blink just as the winning move was underway, etc. Last year our selections had kairos in spades as Street Sense and Hard Spun ran 1-2. Let’s hope our Aristotelian streak stays alive for 2008. In this year’s multiple Oscar winner, “No Country for Old Men” (the title borrowed by the Coen Brothers from the opening line of Yeats’ “Sailing to Byzantium”), Tommy Lee Jones is in character as grizzled lawman Ed Tom Bell who is not afraid of dying but does not want “to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don’t understand.” Welcome to the Kentucky Derby, Ed Tom, where we do exactly that every year. We will try to our best to avoid the opprobrium leveled by the Grateful Dead in their classic Casey Jones: “Got two good eyes but still you don’t see.” We will abide by the Buddha’s last words to his monks: “Strive on diligently!” The challenge of this year’s renewal can best be summed up in one word: polytrack.
