OBS JUNE SALE COALITION LAUNCHES TO REPEAL SPORTS BETTING BAN by Ben Massam STARTS TUESDAY In a move that could have a significant impact on the racing industry and its position in the gambling market as a whole, the American Sports Betting Coalition (ASBC) was launched Monday in an effort to repeal the 25-year-old Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which prohibits sports betting outside of Nevada. Spearheaded by the American Gaming Association (AGA), which announced the launch of the coalition=s website Monday, the group consists of law enforcement personnel, state and local policymakers and gaming industry members. While the legalization of sports betting could have a positive impact for racetracks as an alternative revenue stream, NTRA President and CEO Alex Waldrop noted that the industry must take a close look at the issue from a variety of angles. AWe=re aware of it, and we have met with the American Gaming Association,@ Waldrop said on a Monday evening phone call.

Despite his fluctuating popularity, Quality Road currently ranks as high as seventh by American earnings this year. He is doing especially well with his 99-strong third crop, which has already produced the terrific total of six graded winners, plus the Grade II-placed Majestic Quality, the listed winner Sashimi Blaster and the recent Plate Trial S. winner Guy Caballero. For the record, this crop=s six graded scorers are Abel Tasman (GI Starlet S., GI and GI Acorn S.), >TDN Rising Star= Klimt (GII Best Pal S. and GI Del Mar Futurity), Cowboy Culture (GIII Arlington Classic on turf), Guest Suite (GIII Lecomte S.), Long Haul Bay (GIII Bay Shore S.) and Salty, the GII Gulfstream Park Oaks winner who pressed Abel Tasman hard in the Acorn S. before settling for second. This crop is already outperforming Quality Road=s fine first crop, with its four graded winners. He owed his very bright start to Hootenanny (GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf) and the dual Grade II winner Blofeld, who respectively earned weights of 122 and 119 on the Experimental Free Handicap.

He warned, "If I said to Colin, 'Mrs. Berry is arriving at 6.15, take her into box 20 and shoot her', you'd be dead by 6.18 and at lunchtime he'd ask me what I'd like him to do with the body."
