All Sides with Ann Fisher - 11:00 AM - Horse Racing: Its History and Future
As horse enthusiasts gear up for the Kentucky Derby, some Ohioans are mourning the loss of Beulah Park Racetrack, which is set to shut its doors this weekend. We'll look at the pressure tracks feel to compete with the state's new "racinos," and we'll take a look at horse racing from its elite origins in the US to the issues facing the sport in the future.
