Under a complex scoring system, Excelsior scored 94.6 in areas that included integrity and responsibility, financial viability and details that included plans for renovations of tracks and how to improving the racing industry while attracting more bettors to tracks. Empire scored 93 and NYRA scored 76.5 points, despite attracting no votes for first or second place under the categories of "integrity" and "details of the proposals."


The real question is how did NYRA even get 76.5 points? They must get points for finishing 3rd in a 3 horse race, just like the last place finisher getting paid in a 3 horse race.
