Fixed Odds in New Jersey

[prist]

Does anyone have more information on this? How is this going to work? From what I\'ve read it\'s only on Grade 1 races. It can\'t be just Grade 1 races in the state of New Jersey. Right?

Out of state Grade 1 races. I assume it starts when Monmouth opens. The first offering looks like it\'s going to be three Grade 1\'s from Santa Anita on May 31.

I would like to follow how this goes. Hopefully the information is readily available on the internet.

Not sure where you got your info, but I think it\'s wrong. Dennis Drazin at Monmouth said they\'d like to have it up and running by Haskell Day (July 17th). It hasn\'t even officially been approved yet, though it looks like it will be.

An Australian company, BetMakers, is going to run it. Company CEO said they hope to establish relationships with racetracks around the country and in other countries. Meaning they haven\'t yet, so it might start with just New Jersey.

Yes, thanks for the update. I assumed Monmouth would be ready to roll right out of the gate. Can\'t wait to see what it looks like.
