Default Hayward on 'talks'; State offers Extension..

http://news.bloodhorse.com/viewstory.asp?id=42787

NYRA head Charlie Hayward, who has the patience of Job, provides extensive insight to the Bloodhorse Saturday into where the negotiations with the state are headed. The fetid vileness and corruption of Senate Majority Joe Bruno in this equation is so obvious as to be laughable. No matter how any of us wants this to turn out, it seems at this point that the final outcome will be an abortion thanks to Albany's shallowness and ineptitude.

I can't believe this is happening in our state. It's an absolute embarrasment.
Joe Bruno is just being stubborn because it's all about the CASH. I had great respect for this man at one time, but it's quite obvious he has an agenda.
I hope for the horsemen, the backstretch workers, and anyone else that makes their living at the track, that there is a solution to this mess.

Bruno has so overt an agenda that even those of us outside NY politics see it loud and clear. And I grew up with Chicago Mayor Richard Daley working his magic right next door. What an embarassment Bruno is.

It looks like racing will have to shut down Jan. 1 to get a deal out of Albany.

I was actually very surprised that it seemed like things were going to get sorted out in a timely manner.

This crock of sh*t, unfortunately seems much more par for the course.

Seems like everyone wants to play hardball. From the DRF article:
"At a meeting on Monday, the chairwoman of the oversight board, Carole Stone, said that if NYRA did not accept the extension, the board would select another operator."

They called NYRA's bluff once and lost the pot when NYRA declared bankrupcy. Perhaps they're feeling lucky again.

My guess is the State won't throw all their chips in again.
