    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["... the other side of my extended family was dotted with great-aunts and matronly cousins who worked part-time as clandestine bet-runners, speeding down back roads with satchels full of cash to lay off sizable wagers at Rockingham Park that the mill-town bookies farther north didn’t want to cover. No one would ever have suspected these churchgoing, middle-aged women of illicit activity — which is precisely why they were hired. Rock, like most tracks during that era, made a big show of claiming to want no part of any illegal 'comeback money' that might find its way through their mutuel machines. But, of course, management privately realized that the bookies’ tainted twenties were the same color as the rest of the bills that flooded the pools, and lady bet-runners from all corners of the region knew to proceed directly to a specific window where expedited service had been pre-arranged between influential parties."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["It was the early 1990s, just years before the federal prohibition on expanding sports betting was put into place. Manteris and Roxborough began to discuss bringing Vegas-style sports betting to horse racing tracks across the nation. The two influential Nevada figures travelled around, meeting with officials at race tracks like Laurel Park and Churchill Downs. They were making headway at Laurel Park in Maryland. The track had even begun construction of an on-site sports book, when the tone of the discussions changed suddenly. Horse racing powers-that-be got involved, teamed with the professional sports leagues and adamantly opposed sports gambling. The result was the Professional Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, a federal statute that has prevented the expansion of sports betting in the U.S. 'It's the biggest blunder in the history of racing,' Manteris said."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["British bookies pay a levy of 10.75% of their winnings to pay for prizes and the like—around £75m a year, and falling. This is not generous by some measures: French racing received £760m in 2011. Yet the sport is in surprisingly good form. Attendance at race tracks reached 6.15m in 2011, a new record (it dipped the following year because of a rainy summer). The sport has produced stars in Estimate, a horse owned by the queen, and Frankel. The industry does not depend on cash from gambling as much as it used to. International broadcasting rights were sold for a record £60m in 2012, almost double the amount in 2008. A survey ... finds that one in five people now regularly follows racing."]]></description>
