Atlantic City: Handicapping contest @ Borgata on 3/17

They have a ballroom next to the normal racebook. They will open that up for the tournament.. They usually do it for Breeders , Kent. Derby, etc. THere are no tellers in there, just 2 rows of machines ( more than 8). Good Luck with tourney- I am playing at delaware park this weekend. If I have any luck I may try this. Heard that Bally's has or is opening a new race book and Revel also has a nice book planned. Guess now that slots arent the dominating factor it once was, other houses are looking to get back into this- especially with the slim chance they get fed approval for sports betting...

I hope that Revel does open a nice racebook - I was looking for info on it but didn't find anything.

Same to you guys - good luck. This should be fun.

I say your post, and after checking the Borgata's website discovered one of my favorite Irish Rock bands are playing that night. It's Wednesday morning March 7th, and I'm making plans right now to attend both the Tournament and the concert. Can't think of any other way I would rather spend my St. Patrick's day! Staying in Sea Isle City (my Irish Riviera) to top off the weekend.

Best of Luck,

Tell the lady in charge of the tournament that you saw it on DerbyTrail. Maybe they'll spend some $$$ and give Steve some advertising revenue.

The three tracks for the tournament are: Aqueduct, Tampa Bay, and I think Gulfstream. I have to double check that last one.
