Coaches and horses

Not sure how I found this, but a fun piece from the San Diego paper about the relationship between horseracing and basketball coaches. Bob Boyd (USC), Tark (UNLV/Long Beach / Fresno), Pete Newell (Cal), and even Bob Knight are mentioned. So is Rick Pitino, but can you imagine Pitino hanging around with these guys? Or perhaps more appropriate, can you imagine these guys letting Pitino hang around with them?
