    Anyone here bet on Japan horse racing or any other games there?

    I'm assuming everything like horse racing is on hold over there?

    I saw the note about soccer as well but nothing on their other gaming/sporting activities. I'll reply again if I hear more.

    I play J and J2 League soccer, the Matchday #2 was cancelled this past weekend and Matchday #3 has already been shutdown. I have a feeling it's going to be quite a while until we see some Japanese sporting events.

    I would think with the Nuclear problem and radiation possibilities in the air, as well as a few clubs were right where the main wave it in Sendai, it may be a while before we see anything.

    Good catch Vegas...it would surprise me if they postponed the schedule until May or June. I would think other sports and horse racing will probably follow suit for the safety of the athletes, horses, and fans. Not to mention the Japanese are a tad more sensitive to mourning than others.

    I agree with you Sanchez. The destruction in Japan is so overwhelming that I can't see soccer for quite some time over there. One thing I didn't know until I read the article is the season may go on without some of their best players due to the national team playing int'l competition.

    I have watched Japanese horse racing on TVG before......They draw crowds of over 100,000 to see their racing events. They also put on a big show between races..........That sport is huge over there.

    Also the Japanese Baseball season starts within the next few weeks I think....something tells me this disaster is going to put many things on hold for a while. All you have to do is turn on the TV and they're talking about those Nuclear Fuel plants, explosions, and exposed fuel rods. Add all of that up with a stiff wind, and they could have some bigtime radiation problems.
