it seems that Shrub and his cronies are on some sort of crusade to rid the US of off-shore gambling. Their first step was to include it under Homeland Security. They shut down Pinnacle for US gamblers. Now it seems that Youbet has off-shore ties, so they are going after them.

I wonder how much money the present administration has managed to channel into off-shore accounts in the last 7 years?

Well, it would be in every one's interest, but this is the racing business.....

From the YouBet Newsletter:

Darn right we got the Breeders' Cup!
In case you haven't heard, Youbet.com will be playing host to the big two-day dance next weekend and is taking subscribers right to the first post of the 2007 Breeders' Cup, with non-stop racing everywhere, including this week's features: Belmont Park's classic New York-bred card on Saturday, Oct. 20, worth almost a million dollars in purses. As well, the state-breds are flying at Charles Town that night, topped by the $500,000 West Virginia Breeders' Classic

Priemier Turf Club has a contract to carry both days of the Breeder's Cup. I guess the operative word is major.
