Race Track Betting Is Great Source of Revenue to States

$400,000 to $1,000,000 Is Wagered Daily on Bangtails. This 1* the fifth and last of a series on the horse racing business and the lure and lore of the turf. BY GEORGE BRITT, Times Special Writer NEW YORK, June 8 —Millions of dollars are wagered annually on horse races in all parts of the country, and this brings heavy revenue to state treasuries. The state of Maryland, which places a direct tax on bets through its machines, has collected an average of more than $1,000,000 a year The total turnover on machine betting in Maryland last year was reported as $35,000,000. At the ! spring meetings at the Bowie. Pim- : lico, and Havre de Grace tracks this j year it was approximately $11,600*000. Looking at racing the country over, experts make the guess that during normal times from $400,000 to $1,000,000 is wagered on the horses every day, 300 days in the year. On outstanding days it is much more. The New' York tracks have been i losing money cl late and they particularly sought legalized betting last winter to balance their budgets. Eelmont Park last year last $225,j 000. Only once in its twenty-eight | years history has it paid a dividend, | and that was 1 per cent. The lasses I are pocketed by its owners—Joseph E Widener, Mrs. Fayne Whitney, John Hay Whitney, and Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney. The question of honesty in racing arises every year. Are races fixed? Are jockeys not on the level? Are horses tampered with? Yes. certainly, the wise ones answer, but not very often. The late Arnold Rothstein, who was not abo\e betling on a sure thing if he could arrange it. reputedly once cashed in for SBOO,OOO on a certain second-rate horse. It certainly required undercover work and organization to place the necessary bets. The horse suddenly ! showed up a great deal bettor than I anyone evpr suspected before. Then there was the famous Aknahton, fast, sure and a good horse as himself but a tissue of deception from muzzle to tail. Under the hands of a master dyer, tattooer, tailplucker and camoufleur he w r as made to appear as four different other j horses. All were slower and of less reputa- ! tion than he, end when he replaced ithem in races he won at long prices. But the same horse may be sur- ! prising enough on different days. ; Man o’ War won twenty races and j was the all-time king of the Ameri- | can turf. But he lost one day, at Saratoga. Aug. 13. 1919. He got off to a terrij ble start and did well to come in second. The winner, a 7-to-l shot, ! appropriately was named Upset. Then at Saratoga again Gallant ! Fox and Whichone were matched ; against each other for the Travers ] Stakes. No others were considered lin advance. But Jim Dandy came j in first, a 100-to-l shot, with GalI lant Fox eight lengths back and i Whichone six lengths farther on. In addition to the great racing | layout of the thoroughbred horse | there is an enormous field occupied by trotters and pacers. More than 800 tracks, from county ; fairground to the Grand Circuit, are 1 to stage harness races this summer.

Great (in Ua n t Fof W ' - nOj.

There are 15,000 racing harness horses in training now,’, according to the Trotting Horse Club of America, and their value is estimated at $8,000,000. The whole harness horse enterprise is figured at $50,000,000. When the race horse stiffens up with age and can’t win any more, races, often he doesn’t have to look forward to the glue factory’ or hauling laundry w’agons. One of the turf's ranking heroes, Broomstick, died tw’o years ago in luxury at the ripe old age of 30. He lived two decades of refined leisure. His blood strain flow’s through many of the Whitney horses and is credited with much of the predominance of those stables. James Butler pensions his old horses, too, instead of selling them. His racing string this year consists of thirty-three horses. But at his East View Farm he has 114 old ones, through W’th the track, turned out on grass. THE END.
