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.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says the state will join Washington state’s lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s new travel ban.
Schneiderman said in a statement Thursday that Trump’s new executive order is “a Muslim ban by another name.”
The Trump administration says the temporary restrictions are needed to keep Americans safe.
“This is dialed back, this is modified, and it represents a significant capitulation, and to a lot of people who were under threat before,” the attorney general told WCBS 880’s Alex Silverman. “But you’re not allowed to discriminate against people based on religion, whether you’re discriminating against many or few.”
While the new order says it isn’t aimed at any religion, the legal challenges against it are still mounting.
On Wednesday, Hawaii filed its own lawsuit against Trump’s revised travel ban, saying the order will harm its Muslim population, tourism and foreign students.
Washington state won an initial effort to block Trump’s first travel ban and is asking a judge to block the revised ban.
Schneiderman told Silverman he thinks the best place to challenge the new ban is where the last one was blocked by the courts: “Washington and in the Ninth Circuit out on the West Coast.”
He said he expects the judges to look at the president’s statements leading up to the order, just like they did the first time around.
