Track Net/Mid-Atlantic GAIN AGREEMENT..

OK -- so far Philly Park Phonebet bettors weren't able to bet the Churchill fall meeting, Fairgrounds, Santa Anita and now Gulfstream. By law, we can't legally open a different wagering account if we live near Pha Park. Pha Park's dumped their on-air commentators. They obviously don't care about their Phone Bet patrons now that they have the lucrative slots parlor. No one responds to letters of complaint.

This situation sucks. In the not too distant past, Pha Park had the premier phone bet account - great on-air personalites and efficient operators to take bets. They made a fortune from this system. Now their patrons can't wager on the nation's best cards. We can't bet/follow the triple crown trail.

Will this ever be rectified?

Really good conversation on At The Races today about this topic with a caller from New Jersey. You can probably hear it by pulling up the archives...it was in the 3rd hour.

If you think this is just a Philly Park problem, you are mistaken. And there is nothing to say you can't open a different wagering account if you live near Philly Park. I am a very happy TwinSpires account holder and opened the account when I used to live ten minutes from Philly Park.

Absolutely true. Philly Park is now "Philadelphia Park Casino and Racetrack". The word racetrack doesn't even come first anymore! That was also too long I guess as now I just see "PARX" billboards sitting out there. They can absolutely not care less about us, the horseplayer. I try to go to Delaware Park more often since I am closer to there anyway, but unfortunately they are still affected by the MidAtlantic/TrackNet dispute.

My frustration is boiling over. I'm going to burst a blood vessel.
