    Completely unrelated, here in Vegas, stopped doing Australian races.
    Well, at least at the Station Casinos. I have no idea why.

    I didn't get into them too much because they never had forms for them.
    Just curious about it.

    Australian courses are supposed to get a kick back from any books offering betting on them. I'd say that is why.

    Probably right.
    I was at a Sam Boyd casino a few months ago, and when they gave me a drf forum, they specifically told me they did all the tracks except for Mountaineer.

    I guess they all have their preferences.
