Wagering on the first eight races at Tuesday's OBS races started out sparsely, but began to pick up with the arrival of latecomers who came to watch races 9 and 10, the two $125,000 OBS Sprint Championships.  

    The first eight races were for quarter horses, followed by two for thoroughbreds, all of which were included in the wagering platform. There was no wagering allowed on the Championship races.
