Betting on Horse Racing Hits Record $4.98 Billion in US
Betting on horse racing soared to a record 4.98 billion dollars in 1968 as legalized racing expanded in the United States. Attendance fell for the second straight year to 61,523,035 from 62,519,185, prompting concerns from Thoroughbred Racing Associations president John D. Schapiro about racing’s shrinking share of entertainment dollars and the economic reach for young people. The AP survey totals include thoroughbreds and harness racing, with pacers and trotters contributing 1.60 million and 78 thousand dollars respectively. Meanwhile, Cherrapunji in India remained the world’s wettest spot with five consecutive days of heavy rainfall.
