Where is White Pine Racing?

Ely, Nevada is where Wayne Newton had his first paying gig.

A couple years ago I played blackjack at the Ely Hotel one night until 4AM with a 70 year old woman who left the table only because she had an elk hunting permit for that weekend and she promised me she was gonna show the guys she was with up and bag one. It was the only blackjack table within about 150 Nevada miles.

Her husband had previously been involved in wild mustang roundups and before he retired and left his wife to play blackjack and drink told me how effed up it is that helicopters are now being used in the roundups. He told me that most stories about the rounded up horses dying of disease are false.....the horses die from the shock of the round up.

I know a little hill outside of town where garnet stones can be found as easily as losing tickets on the ground at a track.
