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.
Hammerly and his wife had trouble finding a place to live that they were happy with at the time he was considering the job. He is doubtful at this point I believe to make a move.

Johnson, who was totally under-utilized at MEC, left to join a group that is trying to a acquire a racetrack. He might be interested since he has only been involved in that project for a number of weeks.

The job is not unappealling as there is every likelihood that NYRA will be a part of whatever new franchise configuration emerges after January 1, 2008, and a guy like Johnson would be part of it...

The issue is finding someone that has experience in as many areas as Nader did/does. Marketing; Simulcasting; Operations; Mutuels; Trustees; etc.. Nader did EVERYTHING.
