Old Familiars Cancel Summer Horse Meet in Butte
California horseman Zeke Abrams halted the July meeting in Butte after poolroom operators refused to close during the event. Horsemen from California, Colorado, Washington and elsewhere planned to bring racers, but will seek other tracks or release stock. Poolroom odds and telegraph operators are blamed for unfair betting, with local bettors vowing to withdraw support if track odds aren’t posted. The move impacts surrounding towns and leasing costs, ending a bid for racing seen since Matty Daly era.
