NYRA is never going to run like a business. The model hasn't changed and we will invariably see continued need for capital influx from the government. Will it be because the government isn't treating NYRA fairly with slots for whatever stupid reasons,or some other complex mobo jumbo, perhaps. NYRA may loss money simply because there is zero motivation to do anything other then administer as a worthy custodian to New Yorks racing format, which is a good thing for racing but shouldn't it be done with costs in mind? Whatever the future BS and or reasons for the future losses it really is pop corn and peanuts in the whole scheme of things.
More importantly hopefully the current leaders close Aqueduct and turn Belmont into a show piece.. I doubt it but one can dream
