AThe Governor=s recommendations to the Internet gaming legislation are simple changes that can be made to tighten up the bill, while ensuring that we move forward with what will be a boon for the economy of Atlantic City,@ said Whelan. AFor a community that has been struggling in recent years as a result of out-of- state gaming competition, opening New Jersey gaming up to Internet wagering will be the life raft that Atlantic City needs. The revenue raised through Internet wagering will have had a real impact on the economy of Atlantic City--not only helping to keep struggling casinos afloat, but also ensuring the continuous employment of thousands of residents. As one of the first states to adopt Internet gaming, New Jersey and Atlantic City could become a hub for a high-tech industry with thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue. I am happy that the governor has agreed in concept and that we as a state will be able to be a part of the future of gaming rather than mired in status quo that is struggling to keep up. AI=m a little disappointed that it=s taken so long to get here, but happy that the finish line is in sight,@ Whelan continued. AHowever, the fight to strengthen our casino industry is not yet over. From sports wagering to online gaming and many other innovative practices, we need to keep all options on the table to ensure that a major economic engine for New Jersey and Atlantic City is not only sustained, but encouraged to grow.@ Lesniak added, AThis is good news and a big win for Atlantic City and for New Jersey. It will send a huge lifeline to the casinos by producing more jobs and additional revenue. It will help them recover from the gaming losses that have plagued the casinos in recent years. It could even save some casinos from closing their doors. At the same time, it will contribute to the state=s economic recovery and generate more revenue for state programs for seniors and the disabled.@ He continued, AThis is the future of gaming. It will give the Atlantic City casinos the opportunity to be the >Silicon Valley of internet gaming= by positioning them to be the hub of future expansion into other states. I will work to make the recommended changes to the legislation and get it returned to the Governor for enactment.@ The State Assembly will take up the legislation later this month, while the State Senate reconvenes Mar. 18.

Queen Tut... Juvenile winner Tut (Ire) (Intikhab), a half-sister to the black-type fillies Electric Waves (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) and Appealing (Ire) (Bertolini), was the selection of David Powell of Catridge Farm Stud at 49,000gns when offered in foal to Royal Applause (GB). She was succeeded in the ring by her first foal, an Exceed and Excel filly whose May birthday means she is still a long way short of being a proper yearling. Sold for 25,000gns to Quabrook Stud, the Elms Stud-consigned filly was the most expensive youngster of the session. Complete results are available on tattersalls.com.

Doubtless feeling the cold more than his counterparts was the solid sprinter Foxwedge (Aus), a son of champion sire Fastnet Rock (Aus) (Danehill) and the first by his sire to shuttle to the Northern Hemisphere, where he is standing at Whitsbury Manor Stud in Hampshire. Fellow first-season sires Delegator (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and Mayson (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) also joined the parade. John Manley, his wife Jean and daughter Laura made the trip to see (Ire) (Arakan), who won five group races in their colours before being sold to stand at The National Stud. "We go to the stud to see him quite regularly and still ISABEL ROMANET FUNERAL TODAY feel like we own part of him, really," said Jean.
