I love the people who blame tracks who dont have slots for their demise in the face of expanded gambling across the street. As though the unlevel playing field just doesn't exist? Why do you think that those bidders in NY weren't willing to play ball with NYS if they didn't give them some protection? No one is saying that the tracks have done a great job in adjusting to the new landscape over the last 20 years. But the fact is that they are part of the game now, like it or not and instead of crying crocodile tears for the addicts (you know the ones that you personally dont benefit from, not the other ones) maybe you should support the money staying in the game as opposed to going straight to our illustrious politicians to spend.

Less racing at all costs. NYRA could survive with out slots and thrive IF they had less racing and some supplements from the State. With 30 mil in funding from the state you could develop a model for racing to thrive 160 days a year at Belmont and SPA. Instead you want more death and destruction from people destroying there lives further.. I never thought handing out free hypo needles made any sense in keeping people healthy. In instead of free needles how about free rehab? Racing needs rehab not a few mg's of andrenaline..
