The fact is the dispute over who owns the land is the trump card. I asked a pretty good lawyer about this and my first question was who owns the land. He said he wasn't sure if there was enough there for NYRA to win the dispute in the end. I then asked him if there was enough of a doubt for NYRA to get the case to court and get an injunction against anyone who wanted to race on the property and he said without a doubt.
NYA will keep this franchise in the end.

Shoot the land is the most valuable thing in all this. Well I dont know that NYRA would have a leg to stand on in court if the state awarded the franchise to another company. NYRA would lose that battle. But I agree that with MGM behind NYRA they will keep the license. However, it will be real interesting to see who has the final say so in matters that involve both slots and horse racing.
