U.S. District Court Michael Shipp ruled on whether New Jersey’s biggest racetrack, Monmouth Park, may begin taking bets on sports and they will not be able to, at least not for the foreseeable future.

That ruling came out shortly before 9 pm EST.

New Jersey, in an attempt to resurrect its struggling casinos and race tracks, has persistently taken on a federal law that bars most states from authorizing betting on sports.

The NCAA, MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL have all sought to prevent New Jersey from legalizing sports betting at a time when the National Basketball Association Commissioner Adam Silver has come out in favor of sports betting in the US.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie announced in September that the state would not enforce its prohibition on sports gambling. The Legislature followed with a repeal of its ban, and Christie signed that into law.
