Frankel Destroys Competition at Royal Ascot Opener, Queen Anne Stakes
Royal Ascot 2012 Day One Opener: Frankel Doesn’t Disappoint rivals to win Queen Anne Stakes by 11 lengths.
Frankel’s owner, Sir Henry Cecil said: "It's relief, I'm not surprised but relieved.
"There's no such thing as a certainty. He is a great horse and you've seen him for yourself so everybody can form their own opinion.
"He did exactly what I thought but he's still improving, Tom said he's still improving. He looks as if he'll stay a mile and a quarter so we'll leave our options open.
"He's in the Eclipse, he's in the Sussex, he's in the Juddmonte and the two races at the end of the year. He'll tell me what to do next, I don't tell him.
"It's very unlikely he'll go to the Breeders' Cup."
California Epic Fail When it Comes to Online Poker Legislation
An editorial in the Los Angeles Times discusses California’s recent failure to legalizing online poker and the reasons behind such a defeat:
There's a good argument to be made for legalizing and regulating online poker or, conversely, working more aggressively to ban it. With the tribes pulling the strings in Sacramento, however, California isn't doing either.
Some tribes are backing the bill and have already started to forge relationships with online poker contractors in Nevada and overseas. Others want the state to authorize online poker, but they object to the proposed background checks or the exclusion of tribes without state compacts. Some argue that racetracks and off-track-betting operators have no expertise in poker, unlike tribal casinos and card clubs, so shouldn't be included. And some contend that legitimizing online poker will threaten the revenue and jobs created by tribal gambling.
