Horse farms across New Jersey are expected to be saved by sports betting.

Holly Harris owns Starting Line Stable in Colts Neck. She thought about leaving because of the high cost of maintenance in New Jersey with little reward.

Tony Alonya says knows the feeling. He moved from his home state of Illinois just for that reason, but now there's a sense of hope and sustainability.            

He says he's had to cut about 15 employees, his horse stock by a third, and tighten his budget.
