I wonder exactly which planet in this universe Richard Hoffberger lives on...
From the Balt Sun article:
"I haven't had a chance to talk to Magna about their plans, but all things being equal, we know that (the owner of the company) has had a desire to run races," said Richard Hoffberger, president of the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association.
Hoffberger said that Magna has invested money in the tracks over the years, but could have spent more on marketing. He also said that slots would help the tracks financially.
"Did they do everything right?" asked Hoffberger. "I don't even think that MID will tell you that they did everything right. At least we know these guys and we can work with them on a racing program."
Un effing believable - from a guy (Hoffberger) that still thinks MD should run 220 days of racing a year.....
