Default MTH, MED deals finalized; Bailey begins to plan future

Monmouth Park, Meadowlands lease arrangements finalized
By Mike Farrell

Monmouth Park and the Meadowlands will have new operators on June 1.
Agreements were hammered out late Thursday night at the end of a day-long negotiation session in Trenton, N.J. to privatize the two tracks. For the first time since 1976, the state of New Jersey will not be in the racetrack business. Under lease agreements reached after marathon talks involving the new lessees, the associations representing the state’s Thoroughbred and Standardbred horsemen, and the governor’s office, Morris Bailey will take over Monmouth and Jeff Gural will run the Meadowlands. The state will continue to own the land and facilities.

So...from a practical standpoint, what's going to be the difference at these two facilities?

Now that the state and casinos are supposedly out of the racing business, does that mean some day we will have more options besides 4njbets.com for online?

I would think no.
If you were the one making the deal with the state, wouldn't you like to have some sort of exclusive deal like the one that currently exsists?

But that's just my guess.
