One of Louisiana history’s most colorful characters, Governor Earl Long, liked playing the ponies as much as he enjoyed playing politics and he could just as often be found at the racetrack as at the State Capitol. But Uncle Earl didn’t just bet on the Kentucky Derby and other big races but often started his day at the Governor’s Mansion by opening up the newspaper not to read the articles on news and politics but to check the odds at racetracks all over the country and call in his bets with bookies. The Governor frequently left Baton Rouge to spend the afternoon at the Fairgrounds in New Orleans, where he was sometimes joined by Times-Picayune sportswriter and fellow horse racing enthusiast Buddy Dilberto, who usually had a few pieces of prized information from the stables for Louisiana’s chief executive. When the 1956 Democratic National Convention was selecting a vice-presidential candidate, Governor Long skipped the balloting entirely to go to the racetrack, allowing Alexandria attorney Camille Gravel and Judge Edmund Reggie of Crowley to swing the Louisiana delegation in support of Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. #LaLege #LaGov
