Odds & Ends
- Jockey, 62, has never broken a bone. "I've had many spills but I've never broken anything," said Nuke Shim. "That's why I keep going." Shim started riding in 1959 and says he may continue until he's 65.
- Forget handicapping. Just sprinkle some race track occult powder over your Form.
- Polytrack moves west. The California Horse Racing Board will require all tracks running meets longer than four weeks to install the surface by the end of 2007.
- Imagine the embarrassment. Given a chance to fulfill a lifelong dream of calling a race, reporter Roger Clark badly bungled the call of the third at Aqueduct on Thursday. Listen to the debacle on NYRA's RaceReplays site.
