Event 4: Head Scratcher

$300 + $40 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

 Scarazzini Scours the Daily Racing Form

Other than poker, the buzz around Borgata has been the recent news that I'll Have Another has been scratched from the Belmont Stakes ending the horses shot at the Triple Crown.

Several handicappers are disappointed as they were looking forward to seeing history.  "I go to Belmont anytime there's a chance [of a Triple Crown]," says Rob Scarazzini (Bronx, NY), who's been hooked on racing since a trip to the Kentucky Derby in 1981.

"It's not just a race it's an event," says Mickey Woll (Manahawkin, NJ), "I was just telling everyone, they just lost 60% of their fans because now it's just another race. It's a shame."

Both Woll and Scarazzini are Borgata regulars, both at the tables and at Borgata's Racebook. "I'm the best," laughs Scarazzini adding, "I'm very good at it [handicapping racing]."

As both guys watch Friday's Belmont action on a monitor just steps from the Racebook, they say even though there's no Triple Crown, they'll be back playing poker Saturday at Borgata.
