THE PERFECT SOUTH FLORIDA SEASIDE CITY
For
the sporting life, Hollywood and its neighboring cities offer a cornucopia of
events that combine action with wagering.
For
decades, people have flocked to Florida to watch Jai Alai – the curious game in
which players use wicker baskets to hurl goatskin-covered balls.
At
the Dania Jai Alai Fronton to the north, fans bet on the ancient Basque game in
which balls reach speeds of 185 m.p.h. while bouncing off the walls and floor.
Just
south of town, the Hollywood Greyhound Track features pari-mutuel betting on
the pups.
The
thoroughbreds race almost next door at the famous Gulfstream Park.
FEATURE CONTINUES TOMORROW -- MAY 9
