Shocking Miami roster includes Goiko, Lopez, Erik & Ladutxe
By Jeff “Laca” Conway
Another short, two-month season is in store for Miami Jai-alai – but this one has a twist. Former star players Goiko and Lopez return to the “Yankee Stadium” of jai-alai, but joining them are six players from the Dania fronton including Erik, Ladutxe, Amigorena and Foronda. Those players likely will join the roster in mid- December, when the Dania season goes on break. The season opens Wednesday, December 2nd.
There will be 3 performances a day with new hours – 11am, 1:30pm and 4:30pm. There will be 8 games scheduled for each performance and all games are singles – at this point. There will be 8 post positions (again at this point) and betting should be available on Watch & Wager.
Being able to watch Goiko (recognized as the best player in the world) vs. Erik (Dania’s top player for years) should bring some excitement back to the sport. All games will offer quinella, perfecta and trifecta wagering with a superfecta in game 4. The Pelota Press will be there covering the event and be sure to look for updates on Friday.
