Yowser ... Blood-Horse today:

"Youbet Reveals Seizure of IRG Funds"

"Youbet.com disclosed Oct. 12 that the federal government has seized $1.5 million in funds from three Nevada bank accounts affiliated with the company's off-shore entity, IRG."

Default Call me paranoid, but.....

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?

Matt Hegarty was confident, on Steve's show yesterday, that YouBet and The BC would come to an agreement.

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

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.
