NJ Tracks Experience Wagering Failure

April 13, 2008

Equipment failure at a wagering processing company's data center in Burlington County is suspected as being the reason for a four-hour shut down of business at the state's horse racing tracks on Saturday. The 11-race card at Freehold Raceway was canceled after the fifth race.

Donald Codey, the president of Freehold Raceway, said the 2 p.m. outage Saturday lasted approximately four hours. The horsemen, track and state missed on on commissions from $600,000 in expected betting, Codey said.

"We lost about 30 percent of the business we would have done Saturday afternoon,'' Codey said today.

The company in charge of processing wagers for Freehold Raceway, Monmouth Park and Meadowlands Racetrack is Scientific Games Inc., which Codey said reported finding a probable cause in a disc falilure on a master drive on the data center in Mount Laurel.
