British sprinter Jamie Baulch raced against a race horse last night and lost. Baulch says when he heard the hooves he thought, “there really is a race horse behind me.” As if the lights, the crowd and the racetrack hadn’t given him a clue already.
The horse — Peopleton Brook — went off at 1-to-9 odds, which suggests that perhaps someone bet on the human.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
