Before you go to the polls, who's better for racing? Corzine or Christie. I would guess Christie because I would think that Corzine is more eager to raise takeout, which is never a good thing.

Dave Corzine or Steve Christie would be better choices

There is no good option in NJ but I read this morning that Corzine is pushing for Sports betting and intends to use the 8% tax to balance the budget. Sports betting at AC, Tracks and OTB's. Might be a positive for the racing industry...

NJ politics caused me to move to Colorado. Even with a fourth rate race track and OTB's we can get Xpressbet accounts. NJ is a sad place.
