Well, as an owner who absolutely looks forward and loves racing at Monmouth -- this is, short term, good news. I will see the details and specifics of the deal as soon as it gets memorialized, however, if it's similar to the structure of the last deal, this is good news -- again short term.
However, for the long-term health and well being of the industry -- state wide -- there needs to be a long term solution and strategic plan; or else the industry will atrophy over time. Sports gambling adds an interesting aspect to this. This has long been on the agenda, and the casinos are getting more support now than ever before. Corzine is the right guy in the office to make it happen.
Anyway, $90m over 3 years -- I can't wait to see the condition book, LOL.
