Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012
Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.
A Buffalo-area Republican is considering throwing his hat in the ring against Gov. Cuomo.
Former Erie County Executive Joel Giambra says he’s gunning for the state GOP’s endorsement in his bid to dethrone Cuomo, who is seeking his third term this fall.
“I’ve hired consultants. I’m putting together a team,” Giambra told The Buffalo News Wednesday evening. “I’m a candidate for the Republican nomination.”
Giambra made the off-the-cuff statements while reacting to Cuomo’s State of the State address, but his spokesman Tony Farina said they’re still planning a formal announcement.
Giambra previously worked for Republican former Sen. Al D’Amato’s Park Strategies lobbying firm.
But he may run afoul of his base for previously bundling campaign donations for Democrats — including Bill de Blasio in 2013.
Meanwhile, state GOP chairman Ed Cox said on Fredric U. Dicker’s Talk 1300 radio show that he’s “not ruling anything out, anything in” when it comes to whom the state GOP will back to unseat Cuomo.
The response came after Dicker asked Cox whether he would get behind Democratic Comptroller Tom DiNapoli.
Reached by phone Thursday, Cox clarified his position.
“It’s not gonna happen,” he said.
