Hour 3 (10.20) Twenty-five LA bars bet $60,000 that the Dodgers wouldn’t make the World Series, and nearly doubled their money. Plus thieves hit a FedEx truck loaded with graded Pokémon cards in Santa Ana. 

8:05 Shadow Hills is the semi-rural horse country of the northeast San Fernando Valley, with miles of dirt trails and street crossings built for horses. The city has upgraded several of those crossings with pedestrian hybrid beacons and warning signs to protect riders and their horses. Plus the story of [Angel’s?] horse Sueño, who lived in Shadow Hills. 

8:20 Sueño won at Del Mar in 1977 and paid $50.40, and we play the race call, from “giddyup” to “whoa.” The NFL plays its first regular-season game in France this Sunday, Oct. 25, when the Saints host the Steelers at Stade de France. Owners have approved up to 10 international games starting in 2027, and Asia could follow later. And thieves took two pallets of PSA-graded Pokémon and sports cards from a FedEx truck in Santa Ana. 

8:35 Jack Fox of  explains why fish farming is illegal in Alaska. He walks through how the state’s private nonprofit hatcheries raise salmon from eggs, release them as juveniles, and let them grow up wild in the ocean before they come home. 

8:50 U.S. wine sales fell below 300 million cases for the first time in 20 years, and California wineries are feeling it. And 25 LA bars, many near Dodger Stadium, used a $60,000 Kalshi trade to hedge against the Dodgers missing the World Series. The Brewers knocked LA out in the NLCS, and the bars nearly doubled their money.
