Horse racing does not need this cancer in NY.

I say reject them based on their performance and ELIMINATE them from whatever lies they float in the bidding process.

When in doubt, run the horse, screw the horse, screw the public. Magna, we do not want you in NY.

This is the worst post that I have ever read in my life.

Magna is a good organization. They approach racing a little different but they are doing a good job. They spend money and understand that people who go to the track need different avenues for entertainment. If you own a business, you try and find ways to increase revenue. For example, I just do not want to do oil changes so I add other services. Magna wants people not only to gamble on horses but also on slots, spend money on dinner, shopping etc etc. He wants an entertainment complex. Now in some places this works--Santa Anita and Gulfstream but I dont think it would work in New York. But he would be better than NYRA. CDSI will be the front runner in the bidding process.
