there's nothing more to say , but....
How the cappers that do this for big bucks, continue to put up with this is beyond me.
Their are so many easy markets to play, oh well.

Blackout
I doubt that Vegas cares. I don’t think I would if I were them.

Vegas is doing racing a favor by even having sports books. I doubt they are making much, if anything, from racing.

Linda Ferris, the racebook director at The Orleans casino, indicated to me the other day that the impasse between the Nevada Pari-Mutual Association and Tracknet will likely impact the Horse Player World Series next month (2/19 - 2/21). Seven tracks are usually used for the tournament, but now only Aqueduct, Tampa Bay Downs and The Fairgrounds are available if this issue isn't resolved by mid February. I wonder what other tracks might be appropriate replacements. Philadelphia? Penn National? I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with tracks that have small pools being used for a tournament where first place gets $350,000.

I think FG is on that list too.
I went to JN today and no day racing. Aqu and Beu got cancelled by weather. A mile walk for nothing. Oh, well.

I think FG had a prior agreement with NV..and will not be subject to this initial blackout.

CJ, I know. I was basing my comment on the fact that FG is owned by CD and CD would be involved if it lasts that long.
Ezra, I hope you're right. Just about all the tracks I like are involved.
