Atlantic City: The best racebook is now the only racebook

[joeydb]

Hi guys,

Was at Borgata this weekend for their $10,000 handicapper tournament. The racebook was exceedingly crowded -overflowing. The tournament was in a separate room.

I learned that the reason is that all of the other casinos have closed their racebooks - notably Caesars and Harrah's. Supposedly it's because they did not want to pay the fees for the wire services.

Anyway, Borgata has always been the best one, but now it's the only one. If you go, call in advance and reserve a seat. Hate to admit that I have their number in my smartphone, but it's kind of essential.
