Columbia County Query

[devilinahorsesuit]

I\'m going to be upstate just north of Hudson on Saturday in a house w/out a TV set and an achingly slow Internet connection, so I want to go watch and wager at one of the OTBs nearby. Does anyone have any recommendations? Has anybody had any experience with the Hour Time in Valatie? I\'d prefer not to drive all the way to Albany. Thanks!

Horse, I\'m not sure if it\'s in business any more (I haven\'t been there since I opened my NYRA account a couple of years ago and started using their live streaming), but Capitol OTB had a branch in Greenport, which is adjacent to Hudson. It\'s a stand-alone building in sad-looking shopping center parking lot. Sounds like it would only be 5 or 10 minutes from where you will be staying.

If you can\'t find info on it online, maybe it\'s toast, but that place was OK and is probably the closest.

The Healy Blvd place was the one that I was referring to. Two tellers. One good-sized screen and several smaller ones.

Take route 9 north of Hudson and turn right at the light where Healy Blvd terminates at Rte 9 (McDonalds and a Dunkin Donuts are on the corner). Shopping Center parking lot and the OTB are on your left about 200 yards down Healy.
