$300,000 Evangeline Downs Turf Sprint 2015
Evangeline Downs Racetrack Casino is very excited to offer the second running of the $300,000 Evangeline Downs Turf Sprint on Saturday, May 30, 2015. This race is one of America’s richest turf sprint races each year and will feature a field of up to 12 starters.
Evangeline Downs is known for having more horses per race than any other track in the country. The more horses in a race, the better the odds of winning and the larger the payouts. So come out to the Home of the Biggest Fields!
Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino is the first Racino built in this country from the ground up. We feature a state-of-the-art facility with a new one mile oval. The entire property consists of nearly 750 acres. The track houses nearly 1,000 stalls on the backside. There is a pond in the infield, but no alligators (that we know of). We now have a 7/8-mile turf track with a 1 1/8-mile chute.

Race Fixing Allegations: Evangeline Downs Race 7, 6-19-15
Following an extensive investigation by the Louisiana State Police, three Louisiana horse jockeys have been arrested and charged for their roles in an alleged race fixing scheme. Troopers arrested 46- year-old Joseph Patin Jr. of Opelousas, 51-year-old Billy Patin of Opelousas, and 24-year-old LeSean Conyers of Lafayette on charges of Willful Pulling of the Reins and Cheating and Swindling.
The arrests stem from an investigation into a complaint received from the Louisiana Racing Commission alleging that during a race at the Evangeline Downs Race Track and Casino on June 19th, 2015, the three suspects engaged in questionable riding tactics that affected the outcome of the race. Through interviews and evidence obtained from track officials, troopers determined the jockeys willfully schemed to hold back a horse picked as a favorite to win while utilizing an agent to place unusual bets in an attempt to maximize winnings.
Here is a replay of the race in question. The colored arrows correspond to the horses' numbers: #2 (white) Powder Road, Joseph Patin Jr., #3 (blue) Georgia's Genie, LeSean Conyers, #4 (yellow) Ben's Juliette, Billy Patin. An incident involving Conyers and his whip is highlighted in the stretch run.

Bluffalatta WINS the 10th at Delta Downs 3.7.14
The Bluff Man WON the 10th race on Friday, March 7th at Delta Downs. He broke sharp and sat off the leaders for most of the trip around the moonlit oval. When they turned for home Bluff kicked into gear and bullied his way to the lead, then drew off by a length and a 1/2 to win decisively. Bluffalatta is a different horse at Delta Downs, he seems to love the surface and the tight turns! Anyway, he WON big and earned a lifetime high Beyer of 85! Good Going Bluff!
St Landry Economic Development
Gateway to Acadiana project near Evangeline Downs to include hotels, stores, more; see design The Gateway to Acadiana commercial project planned for the area near Evangeline Downs in Opelousas will feature stores, hotels, an RV resort, a multi-use facility and cultural community center, officials announced this morning. Working in tandem with Boyd Gaming, the company that owns Evangeline Downs, the development will have also have a new building for the St. Landry Chamber of Commerce and a multi-use expo and event center along the eastern Interstate 49 frontage road and an RV resort next door to the casino along Creswell Lane, said Bill Rodier, executive director of the St. Landry Economic Development office. Funding for the project will include a mix of public and private money, officials said. Once they break ground, the the project will take 18 months to complete. It will have over 207,750 square feet for commercial development, which will feature a general store and food hall, a boardwalk along the a marshland retention lake and a pedestrian plaza. Market feasibility studies show that developing only one-third of the property for commercial use would be viable. Officials with St. Landry Economic Development say they are negotiating with a national retail developer who is interested in building the retail center. The project will include a large area open space, and much of the forested area that acts as a buffer between the land and residential areas will remain mostly undeveloped and be designated as a recreational area with walking trails. It will also include retention ponds and a large lake near the RV resort. Officials say they hope the expo center, which will allow for rodeo and other equine events on 52.5 acres of land, will bring people to the retail stores, restaurants and hotels that will be built as well. The RV resort will have 315 state-of-the-art RV pads and will have a pool, kayak and boat rentals at the retention lake, an amphitheater and tennis and volleyball courts next to a playground. It will also have a connecting path to the walking trails. Both market feasibility consultants for the project said the RV resort was one of the most economically viable additions to the project. A developer is already interested in building and managing the RV resort. The historic silos along the frontage road will be preserved with a cultural center to be built next door.
RVstreet - TA Truck Stop, Race Track & Casino, FREE RV, Motorhome Dry Camping (video)
In this video, Joanie & I will recap our 950 mile trek back to Thousand Trails, Conroe, TX after spending 5 months in Florida. This trip was just 3 weeks after Hurricane Michael made land fall in the Florida panhandle packing winds of 155mph. Traveling west bound on I-10 was quite a sight. Spending our first night on the road in our RV was a challenge because everything was closed because of the hurricane damage. So we ended up spending the night in a TA Truck Stop. After that we continued to Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino in Opelousas, LA, where we spent the night for free.

A Confusing Law on Sports Betting in California
Let's define sports betting first. Sports betting, from the word itself bet, is an activity wherein people predict the results of a game (on a favorite sport or not) and people place a certain amount of money on the result they think will appear after the game. From horse racing, it now rises to popular sports such as baseball and football, and today people do their sports betting activities online. In sports betting, the popularity of a team or even the actual sports event does not matter in this issue but only the end results after the game. Whoever loses to this have to pay the winner the amount he placed on his lost bet. For moralists, a sport betting is considered gambling, and only very few states have written laws regarding this issue.
Take California, for example. In 2010 the lawmakers of the said state removed misdemeanor and felony damages for people who commit sports betting, but then a fine not exceeding $250 has been added, as stated by the Section 336.9 of the California Penal Code, Chapter 10. Along with Louisiana and Nevada, California does not allow its citizens from doing online sports betting outside their borders, although there is no federal law that makes online sports betting illegal. The wire act from the 1960s is the only federal law that states that gamblers are not allow to place bets using the telephone. Not only is that, sports betting in California is stated as illegal, according to its laws. This mere fact alone is very questionable, since the
