They were disqualified, by the Ad-Hoc commitee, from bidding. They were also an off-shore rebate facility that was banned by NYRA ( as per the State appointed monitor ).

They might as well bid $357 Billion.

You're bid is certainly as tenable as the one from Capitol Play.

Apparently Capital Play is saying they were disqualified by a techicality. They are going to plee to the state legislature. In my honest opinion, they already know who is going to be awarded the franchise. I don't know who it is, but "they" do.

Just what I always wanted...a hotel room overlooking the breathtaking Big A and the surrounding neighborhood.

After getting on the wrong train on Wood Memorial day and walking a mile in the pouring rain and sleet through the neighborhood that has houses with bars on the windows...yes. It's no Saratoga.

It's mostly just a working class neighborhood. It's certainly not Saratoga but if you went there as often as I used to, and walked that " wrong train " route as often as I did, you would get used to it.

I think Aqueduct gets a bad rap.

I'm sure it is better than my first impression on a dreary day...it's just a bit startling when you get off a train and don't know exactly the type of neighborhood you've strolled into.

It was a bit depressing to see Aqueduct, so many simple cosmetic things that they have just let slip by and no longer care for.
