The sale of the Ocala Jai-Alai fronton and off-track wagering facility to a subsidiary of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co. was completed on Wednesday. |
The fronton version of pelota, popular in Spain, Mexico, the Philippines, and parts of the United States, is called jai alai. |
This leaves in question the future of a fronton that once was far west of town and is now being surrounded by residential and commercial projects. |
Dania Jai-Alai opened over 50 years ago as the second jai-alai fronton in the United States. |
The other two pari-mutuel facilities in Broward County are Hollywood Greyhound Track and Dania Jai Alai fronton. |
He's retired now, a bookie at the fronton in Mexico City, and he's the happiest person there. |
