BETWEEN RACES By OSCAR OTIS Continued from Page Forty -Four as one horse, they have less trouble tying themselves on after the break and getting the position they want." AAA Horses and People: Bill McNamara, of New York, formerly with the FBI and U. S. Treasury, has joined the staff of Spencer J. Drayton and the TRPB . . . Maurice R. Gross, who handles jockeys insurance, will make an extended swing of the nation this summer . . . Maryland money is helping bankroll the new track in Las Vegas, scheduled to open on the Labor Day week-end. Vegas stock, incidentally, is the most active in the country in over-the-counter markets, where most track stock available is sold . The TRA board of directors will go west to Hollywood Park for its annual mid-summer meeting this year. . .RCA tested an "inside television" circuit at Garden State last week-end, setting up screens in the offices of Eugene Mori and Walter Donovan. This TV set-up was similar to that used in industry, and, as reported last year, no doubt has some sort of future in race track usage, but whether it has reached a stage of development acceptable to all concerned remains to be seen.
