Racing & tennis mix

Reigning Wimbledon champ Maria Sharapova is being exposed to racing this week as she is just one of several tennis stars also staying at the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, Calif., the scene of the HTA/TRA annual meeting set to get underway Thursday morning.



Sitting alongside several racing attendees at the pool Wednesday afternoon in the mid 90-degree heat was Sharapova, while a photo shoot with a male tennis star was going on inside one of the private cabanas. They are in town for the Pacific Life Open being contested at the nearby Tennis Garden in Indian Wells.



Llayton Hewitt and Roger Federer have also been prominent at the resort, and in fact Indiana Downs' director of racing Jim Ewert's wife had a chance to play a set with Federer when happening upon him on the tennis court. Ewert said he had a chance to secure an autograph from Sharapova.
