no


I dont have a list but Utah has no track (no gambling of any type in Utah, only state with that) and Hawaii I think has nothing nor ALaska, dont think there is a track in Maine, Vermont, no horse track in Wisconsin that I know of. no s Dakota, N Dakota tracks, Maybe some state Fair racing that you cant bet on.

 

[WorldNumberOne]

i would have guessed somewhere between 30 and 40 states have it ..

i wish i knew more about racing and had a better idea of how to handicap it.

 

[WildBill]

If I remember right, 41 states either have racing or allow wagering on it. Utah and Hawaii are now the only states with no legal forms of gambling since Tennessee now has a lottery. Amazing when you go to some places in the south, like North Carolina and talk about horse racing. Lots of people there think it is a form of high stakes gambling. I met someone in Raleigh that drives up to an OTB in Virginia on Kentrucky Derby Day so he can watch and wager. He said some years he makes a weekend of it. Imagine having to drive a couple hours just to bet on the Derby. Even funnier, imagine telling Pat Robertson that there are people that drive up to his part of the world to make it a gambling weekend.

Believe it or not, Utah does have a track. I belive it's called Laurel Brown Track and there is no gambling; they just run horses. I do know from first-hand experience that there is no racing (live or simulcast) in Alaska or Hawaii.

 

[InsideThePylons]

TTT,

Utah has 11 tracks that have racing while I think only 3 of them are recognized, but no wagering.

North Dakota and South Dakota both have racing and pari-mutuel wagering.

[Thrillseeker]

Parimutuel wagering is legal in Tennessee, but nobody has built a track yet there...there are discussions every year of somebody wanting to build a track in the memphis area, but nothing ever comes of it...Ky Downs, in Franklin, KY is about 1 mile across the border, and about 30 miles from Nashville...

There's a black hole in the south - GA, South Car, North Car where no horse wagering is allowed...

From xpressbet...
Account Wagering is not offered in these states:
AK GA HI MI MS NJ NM NV NC OK SC TX UT

Some of these states do have tracks and/or allow instate wagering like TX, NV, NM, etc...There really aren't too many states that either don't have tracks or don't allow any type of horse racing wagers...

 

[gynecologist]

Great thread BTW

 

[BankerC]

None in the great state of Ga. We have a lottery that the degenerates blow all their money on though. Cash 3 has done more damage to american homes then sports wagering.

 

[Whoson1st]

What about NEVADA?
Does the Silver State have a horse race track?

 

[mvbski]

Does the Silver State have a horse race track?

They run a meet in Elko for about a week during the county fair and I think another county runs a fair meet possibly.

[G.MONEY]

What about NEVADA?
Does the Silver State have a horse race track?

Back in the late 70's they built a Dog track out on Boulder Highway..Ran live for a short time and was turned into something else....Did not go over very well................G.
