Crist raises plenty of intelligent, cogent, and well thought out points as usual.. I wonder if it really does matter what happens to NYCOTB?
It's a dinosaur within 10 years the need for brick and mortar betting establishment will be over. In all fairness to the workers it would be smarter to phase the operations completely out over the next 3 years. Then perhaps all interests could be managed?

Let's face it, in 9 months when the VLT money starts to flow NYRA and the NY Racing industry will be the "new" land of racing Milk and Honey. The State nor anyone else racing in NY will give a dam about national change. All involved in the sport, as well as, the State will garner the fruits of the slot players losing money. The question araises what motivation will anyone racing in NY have to get behind the issues that besiege racing nationally, when there MDN Spls will be 85k and there 15 claimers will be racing for 50k?
Anyone think NY horseman are going to support less racing or stronger restrictions with 700k being given out daily?
