Gov SPitzer has named NYRA as operator of horse racing. To me it seems there is some wiggle room for an operator of the slots, other than NYRA, to be named. Your scenario might come to pass. I hope NY just gets on with it this year. It's been about 5 years since this slots deal has been in limbo, 4 of which were under Pataki.
Yeah, the "probably" part has to do with the NY Legislature and how they want to handle Spitzers recommendation. I follow this stuff closely and have read all of the reports.
