    [Derby] a different brand of horse racing



Washington Post has a story about a bush track in Georgia for quarter horse match racing.

Admission is $100, no legal wagering in Georgia but plenty at this track anyhow, horses given injections right on the track in front of everyone, jocks openly wear buzzers, serious horses diseases being spread, etc.

The guy who runs this particular track pleads the Sgt. Schultz defense and claims "I know NOTHING!" and says all the hubbub is simply because the participants are Latino.

The USDA expert tracking the diseases say there are at least 89 of these tracks in the U.S.

And so much more.
