No argument, but even for that reason people should be concerned that the bidders care about ALL of the NY tracks....and not just the one or ones with Slot palaces.

I don't even know who's left at this point. Or when a decision will be made....so tough to keep up with this fiasco.

Shocker.

He's too busy with his kajillion dollar casino in Vegas (which I HATE, I might add) to really be concerned with running a racing franchise.

Or poking his finger through paintings costing himself millions.

You know that show "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" Well apparently the NYRA isnt smarter than a 5th grader. The racing license is an easy one in New York. You have the best tracks, best horses and best scenario. Doesn't matter who gets the license because it will be 80% slots and 20% racing. Sad day in racing when slots are more important than racing. But that is the day we are in.
