No betting in NY due to antiquated laws. Do they shut the casinos on Easter?

Of course not. Lottery tickets for sale as well.

Love to play

But problem there?

Canadian harness players..and there are lots.. WONT get suckered into the dollar minimum bets going in there from us up here.  Is it them or is it our gambling overlords at HPI in Canada?

Point being.  20 and 50 cent exotics work more than ever.
Meadows Northfield Miami Valley Hoosier Cumberland Cal Expo Oak Grove Saratoga H Buffalo Harrington Canada tracks to name a few ... BUT Pocono Rosecroft Dover Yonkers Northville Monticello Plainridge Harrahs Philly  havent got the primitive legals with Canada players figured yet...hard to believe.

Btw...Flamboro and Rideau avail as well on the jughead side

Shenandoah Downs in Virginia had this afternoon all to themselves and in 12 races grossed over $150,000 in handle. Pocono downs is averaging only around $30,000 per race handle now so a big number is unlikely even with no competition right now.

Pocono pick 4 paid $10. Not many players want any part of that.
