Default Pinnacle drops horseracing
I saw this on SportsbookReview.com and verified it at Pinnacle:

Due to the various changes in the North American racing industry, Pinnacle Sports finds itself in a position where we are unable to offer horse racing to our satisfaction. This, added to the declining interest of our clients in racing in general, has prompted us to discontinue wagering on daily North American horse racing as of Mon. 15th Dec. 2008.

Yes, it has everything to do with that. And unlike other books, Pinnacle won't accept deposits from bettors with US addresses.
