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.

Brookhaven Councilwoman Valerie Cartright has been picked to run for a state Supreme Court justice seat this fall, likely opening a spot on the town board.
Cartright — the only Democrat on the seven-member town board — has been cross-endorsed by her party and Republican and Independence party leaders, virtually ensuring she will win one of four Supreme Court justice seats on the Nov. 3 ballot.
Assuming she wins, a special election to fill her town board seat will be held next year, officials said.
Cartright, 44, of Port Jefferson Station, a civil rights attorney who has served on the town board for six years, said she accepted an invitation from Democratic leaders to run for a seat on the state bench. Earlier this year she lost a bid for her party's nomination to run for the State Senate seat held by Kenneth LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), who is retiring.
“I’m a lawyer. I’ve been practicing for almost two decades. I’ve always held strong to principles of equality under the law," Cartright said. “I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to promote balance, equity and justice.”
In party conventions in recent weeks, Democrats, Republicans and Independence Party leaders nominated Cartright, state Supreme Court Justice Tim Mazzei, Acting Suffolk County Court Judge Derrick J. Robinson and Suffolk Family Court Judge Kathy Gail Bergmann to run for four Supreme Court justice positions. Each carries a 14-year term.
Cartright's move opens a coveted town board seat that has been held by Democrats for more than a decade. Cartright's North Shore district includes Port Jefferson and parts of Stony Brook, Setauket, Belle Terre and Terryville.
