Default Monroe, NY OTB

There was a caller to Steve's show on Friday May 16th at around 4:30pm who told the sad story of this OTB branch. Every single thing he said about that dump is 100 percent true.

This branch is a part of the Catskill OTB Corp. If anyone is unfamilar with Catskill OTB think back to Breeders Cup 2003. The Fix Six boys used this outfit to unleash their scheme. Thank God for Phil Johnson's Volponi. The CEO of Catskill's initial response to their amazing "handicapping" feat was they were simply good handicappers who had a good day. Luckily an astute employee of the NYRA noticed something fishy and made a point to pursue the strange wager the Fix Six boys concocted.

I haven't been in that dump in nearly six years and I had a good laugh listening to the caller tell a story I was well familar with.

I think they were sentenced to serve a few years as guests of our Federal penitentiary system.
