Nice piece in the Wall Street Journal today about Spitzer. It was telling a story about how he said that he would not allow any out of state indian tribes try to horn in the NY market. Then it went on to detail how his biggest campaign contributor is a developer (also aligned with Excelsior bid on NYRA) who designs casinos for some of those very same out of state tribes. When asked about this conflict his press man stated that the tribes represented by the developer would be exempt from his wraith. He is a first class phony with an ego the size of Mt. Rushmore. Personally I have no confidence that the NY racing situation will be resolved any time soon with Spitzer most likely trying to get Excelsior the bid which will raise the ire of just about everybody including NYRA, Empire and associates the NY breeders and NY horseman.
