Long before sports betting drew national interest with the growth in popularity of the professional sports leagues, people had for decades eagerly flocked to race tracks across the country to lay their bets on horse races. This national pastime has played a pivotal role not only in the evolution of sports betting but also the development of telecommunications and related legislation in America. Coming to the Del Mar fairgrounds and covering some of the day races for the documentary is our way of paying tribute to this important historical phenomenon.
