Counterfeit Win Tickets Hit Fair Grounds Track
Cashiers at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans battled fake win tickets over a weekend theft of about 12 000 to 13 000 dollars. Mutuel manager Carroll DeLatte said the counterfeiters used high quality tickets printed after Don't Deter won race five, possibly in a van near the lot. The scheme surfaced when a flood of tickets arrived after the race and was halted by alert staff. The track, insured, blamed the big day and the crowd for the vulnerability during Steve Cauthen in the $110 000 Kentucky Handicap attendance.
