Any word on either , or is it still too early in the game to be throwing this subject around ? I enjoy your repartee with RH and he would hit the ground running.
If NYRA is like other places, sometimes the place sort of runs itself. Everyone steps up and does more and things go on as before for 6 -12 monthes until new blood is in place. Then, things get interesting as the new blood stamps their turf.

I just pulled the Corey Johnsen ,PR release . Seems he is with a private investment group buying an unspecified racetrack.

"Corey Johnsen, who led the development of Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie, has resigned as President of Magna Entertainment Corp. (MEC) Southern Operations to join a group of private investors that are in the process to acquire controlling interest of another North American racetrack."
