>>>“From the beginning, one of our goals in building the new casino facility at Aqueduct has been to strengthen and support New York’s storied horse racing industry. Through this partnership with NYRA, we have taken a significant step in that direction. This year’s Resorts World New York Casino Wood Memorial is sure to be a spectacular event that will bring out racing enthusiasts and make all of New York proud.”<<<


Peter Carlino was pretty optimistic about PA racing when they were getting ready to hand him the golden ticket to build slot palaces At Penn Nat too.


Didn't take long for that worm to turn.

>>>"Racetracks tend to end up with slots—that’s our long-term play,” Carlino said. “Operating tracks at a loss is not in our long-term plan. We will continue to ratchet down costs—we’ll be tough and brutal about that. We’re not running a public charity.”<<<


I hope Genting is a little more honest in their objectives and goals.
