Guymon, OK

Nine people sit in the Texas County jail this afternoon charged with running an illegal horse racing operation.

Around 7:30pm Sunday night, over 50 officers from various jurisdictions, including the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, broke up the ring north of Guymon.

As part of Operation Belmont Stakes, officers detained around 150 people.

The nine arrested include the track owner, jockey's, horse owners, and those involved in the operation of the track.

Officers also took 19 horses, and various vehicles, horse trailers, cash, electronic equipment, and racing equipment from the scene

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SEEN THIS OUTFIT'S OPERATION. WTF!!

Any truth to the rumor that TVG delayed showing a live race from Belmont to cover this track?

sounds right out of a garbiel garcia marquez novel

south american style

looked up the town and its pretty deep in the panhandle
10000 inhabitats

wheat livestock

oil rigs

pork factory

used to take flights out of town

so sounds like some have some decent cashola

-450 handle was greater that PID

There are several brush tracks in Texas. Remember there was no parimutual racing in Texas from 1937-1987. These guys probably just one of the few that got busted.

Awesome.

cre8flow · 07-07-2009, 06:45 PM

a friend told me about these tracks in texas

the rule is when you go there you check your coat and gun at the desk

no tote board no program just a sheet with the basics

a scratch bookie takes max $100 wager and he scratches your initials and the odds down in a book

Ocala Mike · 07-07-2009, 07:21 PM

I once went to see some quarter horse racing on Long Island, NY, and the betting was "auction style" where you bid on the horse you want going for you. I think this is called Calcutta betting. Believe they have that in Texas, also.
