They cite regulating intersatate commerce as the reason for the restriction.

I just signed up with Betamerica....use legit info but no bank info. One poblem I see is no Belmont listed on the track list . Still going to Sam Houston today and maybe I'll play Cali and CD later this evening. We'll see how long this lasts.

That's good to hear, last time I went to an AZ. OTB they only let me play certain races from NY, and not the full card.

I spend a month in Tucson every year. Those smokey Famous Sam's are not for me, I just bet through my ADW.

This ruling is just another reason for me to quit wagering on Horses b/c I'm not driving 2 hrs to Lone Star Park.

I have said the inability for horse racing to not be able to collectively get intrastate horse racing available to ALL who want to bet over the computer is the biggest reason why racing has not met its potential.

The same thing Texas players are going through we are went through in Az a few years ago.

racing has got to quit treating other tracks as competitors. they need to join together and seek what they need as a SPORT. look at the nfl, etc. we can't be as large as them, but we can copy their successes.

Does SHRP and Lone Star have a huge inventory of Cold hot dogs and Hot beers at 18 bucks a pop that they need to sell to make a profit?

Couldn't agree more and if you know whom to contact to complain, let me know. Not that it will make a difference, but will make me feel better in a way.

I will start first by finding out who was the judge that made the ruling and send him a christmas card.
