Where to bet Churchill ?

[stonegossard]

Well.....down here in Florida it seems you cant bet Churchill Downs anywhere. Checked with Calder,Gulfstream,Pompano, and Palm Beach Kennel Club, and all said same thing.......they are not taking races from Churchill. There is a chance some of them MIGHT take bets on The Oaks, Woodford, and Derby. With xpressbet not taking CD doesnt leave much of a choice between going to CD in person, or flying to Vegas to bet Fri-Sat cards.

Not sure who REALLY is at fault.....tracks or horsemen or ADW's....but whoever is better fix this by friday or CD's handle is gonna be horrendous on their biggest weekend. Personally...if they dont fix it I hope whoever is ultimately responsible suffers tremendously.

This is beyond insane.

Tampa was carrying Churchill as of last Sunday. I doubt you want to hike that far though.

Yeah....I am near West Palm Beach. A bit too far. Calder is really causing havoc down here with all the bs they are pulling. Hoping this thing with Churchill is fixed by Friday.

While I hope for you and all the other people that want to play, I highly doubt that will happen. Unless they are looking to play the hero come Friday as a media spin

You sure Palm Beach Kennel Club is not taking the races? According to their simulcast website they are taking CD (ther others you listed are not on their websites)? The next closest option (according to their website they are also taking) is Fort Pierce Jai Alai.

I called PBKC today..they said they are not getting any of the Churchill Races as of now. If things dont change they will only offer Oaks on Friday, and Turf race and KD on SAt. That and no Belmont down here. I guess there is always Miami Jai Lai to bet...

Be careful with what the websites say...none of them are updating their sites with this No Belmont/No CD bs goin on. As of now you cant bet CD or NY anywhere in Fla.

How about playing the card from a track that actually acts like it wants your business?

Thankfully the local dog track here in St Petersburg - Derby Lane - has full card simulcasting of races from Churchill Downs. That said, what's going on between horsemen and track operators has me feeling like I did with the '94 MLB strike. And I've never overcome that. Without bettors there are no tracks or horsemen. That point doesn't seem to resonate strongly enough with those arguing over how much of a percentage of simulcast revenue should be earmarked for purses. Bettors getting the shaft is nothing new. We've been getting for years.

I guess it's those down in S Florida who are getting F#cked. Stopped by Palm Beach Kennel Club today.......they were showing only Belmont until Bay mEadows/Hollywood starts up. No CD.....No Pimlico.....pretty sad sight.

It is being rumored in Louisville that if this is not worked out with the horseman CD is going to cut purses by 30% the week after Derby. This could get really ugly.
