Where Can I Bet the Preakness Stakes Online From New York?
You can bet the Preakness Stakes race online from New York in the comfort of your home at any one of the internationally licensed racebooks, none of which will ever require a social security number.
New York has a number of race tracks, but as a large state, much of the population has limited access.
The tracks include Aqueduct, Saratoga, Vernon Downs, Finger Lakes, Belmont and Monticello.
Off Track Betting sites in the state were shut down a few years ago.
In 2010, about 50 parlors around New York City were shuttered. Some 1,000 employees lost their jobs. And a revenue stream that had funneled tens of millions of dollars a year to breeders, track owners and related businesses dried up.
Most of the state’s horse racing venues and its newly opened casinos were expected to host Preakness Stakes viewing parties.
Saratoga will be one such venue with details below
When: Saturday, May 20, 2017 - 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM
Where: National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, 191 Union Avenue, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866
Cost: FREE ADMISSION
There will be food available for purchase from 9 Miles East Farm, beverages available for purchase provided by Saratoga Eagle, a race-day inspired 50/50 raffle and a silent auction.
There are advantages to betting at either internationally licensed online racebooks or US-based companies.
