It seems to me the NYRA has done an admirable job with a few bumps along the way. With the right business model and the proper focus on horse racing as the #1 priority the NYRA should win the bid.
The horse racing industry in NY is a major business in the state. It needs to be preserved and supported by NYS. We have enough malls and amusement parks.
But we'll know June 30 who is interested in bidding and may the best bid win.

See Sumitas--this way of thinking just doesnt get it done in this day and age. There are too many other entertainment avenues. This is why the NYRA is $20 mm in debt. This way of thinking is narrow minded. NY racing will not be hurt by anyone. In fact, NY racing is the best in the nation and could be the best in the world with a strong company behind it. Slots are the prize, but racing will not be affected. I do not know how having malls, restaurants, etc etc will have an effect of the quality of racing. If you can show me how a shopping mall will hinder the Suburban, Wood or an $50k allowance then I will change my mind.
