This is getting real. Dates are being set. "The leagues have two weeks to respond."
"U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp has set a hearing for Oct. 6. For now, operating a sports book at racetracks or casinos essentially does not violate New Jersey state law."
Dennis Drazin is an attorney and adviser to the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association.
"This week, Drazin sent letters to the leagues informing them Monmouth Park would wait 45 days before
starting sports betting Oct. 25."
Quote:
"The Monmouth Park sportsbook will have a betting menu similar to what is offered at Nevada sportsbooks, with a few exceptions. Betting will not be allowed on any games involving Rutgers University or any collegiate games played in New Jersey. Bettors will be allowed to wager on professional teams that play in New Jersey, such as the New York Giants and the New Jersey Devils, Drazin said."
