“The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed.”

― William Gibson

Some events can stop the world. But very few can make things run backwards. The Corona plague is one of these. Different problems, different events can cause gambling, especially state-sponsored gambling, to wax or wane, or even shut down. This year, coronavirus has done what nobody thought was possible: it caused America’s Triple Crown to reverse the order of the three thoroughbred races. The pattern has been immutable since the 1930’s: first, the Kentucky Derby in early May, then the Preakness about two weeks later, and finally the Belmont at the beginning of June or so.
