Name the person....
 
Name the person/s associated with the following items or quotes:

1) "slots do not belong in racing," and that if they are approved for a Maryland track he owns he would not implement them.

2) ...he told reporters that he wants to revive Maryland horse racing without slot machines.

3) "Slots do not belong in thoroughbred racing,"

4) He wants a slots license to open a stand alone casino in Anne Arundel County, Maryland - a place for only slot machines.

5) His casino's revenues would be used to support a new racetrack that he would build elsewhere in the state of Maryland to compete against Pimlico and Laurel

6) "Why don't we go after a license and use that money to rebuild the thoroughbred racing industry? I'm committed to putting all the money back into Maryland and the industry,"

7) "These things (slots), they're cancer,"

8) Indeed, in a fit of hyperbole, he said that he “would rather go to jail than implement” slots.

Please tell me it's not Governor O'Malley.

Slots are cancer and slots are bad for racing

If that's Glendening, at least we know his opinion doesn't count.

phystech 01-21-2009 01:14 PM

Nope - not Gov. O'Malley, nor Glendenning.....

freddymo 01-21-2009 01:21 PM

Frank?

phystech 01-21-2009 01:41 PM

No - not Frank either.

Is it a member of the legislature? Not Busch, but the other feller.

Dont remember his name but its the guy that wants to buy Manga Inc. I read the article when it was in the wall street journal(?) a couple months ago.

Halsey Minor stood arm in arm with Peter Franchot, the MD State Comptroller, and declared slots the greatest evil since the Devil himself. But now, all of a sudden, he's a playa!!

Not only is Magna and Minor gearing up for a run at slots in the Anne Arundel County location (aka the Laurel Park area site) but now Hard Rock International has paired up with the Treasurer of the MD Democratic Party to possibly make a run for the site license too.

I don't know how some of these guys can ever say anything with a straight face.....

Minor is a Grade 1 gas bag who somehow manages to keep his name in the news without actually doing anything.

Hickory Hill Hoff 01-21-2009 03:38 PM

Doesn't he (Minor) also hate handicap racing and think horses shouldn't get added weight from thier success?
