I think my last post got lost. I talked about the Parx employees who lost a bunch pre-Christmas. Wait-staff, bartenders and mutuel clerks.
I'm just wondering how much money is involved and being lost now and by whom. It's been 3+ weeks. If I was running a company and was leaking serious oil, I would find a way to stop the bleeding. Maybe they aren't losing that much out of the Mid-Atl. Maybe the increase in on-track and other sources betting on GP and SA makes it a wash. Don't know. I'm not optimistic. I think it will be settled by the Preakness. I don't think they'll give up the handle on that race. I'd like to know who is losing money, besides the people who work at the Parx Turf Clubs. One, or both of the entities have to be losing money on this.

Daruty Questions
I've got a few.
1) What is the deal ? What does Monarch want and what is Mid-Atl offering ? Numbers. 2) How much is being lost everyday ? By everybody ? Both sides. Numbers. 3) Isn't this detrimental to the overall product ? Is this detrimental to racing ? 4) Is this going to go on forever ? Maybe no straight answers to these. but would like to know. Has me all screwed up.

Great job by Steve with the interview today. Daruty spelled out many of the specifics and brought up some interesting aspects that have not really been covered. Well worth listening to the podcast when it comes up later today.
Just my interpretation and based on the interview only, this will not be resolved anytime soon.

Agree with Nick. Great job Steve !!! These groups do not usually publicly talk numbers, as they are under no obligation to do so. Scott was very up-front and laid it out there pretty plainly.

Any chance of getting Phil O'Hara on from the Mid-Atlantic Cooperative? I would think he'd have reason to respond (or at least contol the damage) from the now disclosed fact that his organization is the one blocking the signals in spite of Monarch saying that the terms of last year's contract could continue while they negotiated. Thanks again Steve for all you do for the sport. Without your efforts and interviews like Daruty's appearance, we players would have no information on matters like this and frustration alone would reign. I do hope they can resolve the dispute before the 3 year old lead up to the Derby starts in earnest. Last edited by joeydb : 01-16-2015 at 10:29 AM. Reason: Grammar
