My understanding was it happened at an upstate OTB.

It happened at the "Catskill District OTB" in upstate NY. In Ny the regions of the state are broken down into seperate business entities. Western OTb covers Buffalo back on to Syracuse border(no otbs allowed in Cuse). Capital District OTB stretches from Canadian Border down to Hudson Ny and out to Syracuse border on the Eastern side. NYC OtB covers the City and LI, and catskill covers Westchester County up to Kingston.
The guy who did it was a computer tech and used a phone account in the Catskill system to place and alter the bet.
