He better be careful what he wishes for. Horsemen and NYRA workers aren't the only ones with skin in this game.
Doesn't really matter for his re-election chances. Saratoga Springs has 26,000 residents. Rensselaer County (also in his district) has 160,000. So as long as he keeps pumping state money into the revitalization of Rensselaer and Troy and at least does reasonably well in Clifton Park he would be able to win re-election without a vote from Saratoga.
