It sounds like these guys are going to have to work together in the future. NYRA's going to get to run racing most likely, but you can see how the corporations are going to be used to bring in the slots and make the state more money.

jman hit the nail on the head. Spitzer needed to settle the land claim issue and he did so. Spitzer left open the possibility of another group running the slots part of the deal. I don't think there's any way another group gets the racing franchise because the land ownership issue will blow up in their face, so to speak.
