I was actually very surprised that it seemed like things were going to get sorted out in a timely manner.

This crock of sh*t, unfortunately seems much more par for the course.

The Empire State.....there will be four years of this garbage with Spitzer & Bruno on ALL fronts,
maybe Vince McMahon & the WWE can settle this crap.

What's really amazing is that three years ago Spitzer wanted NYRA out and Bruno was defending them.

My take on the matter is that I've thought for a long time that Spitzer just loathes racing and if he could ban racing in the State-as it was in 1911 and 1912-he would do. Perhaps by delaying until September 4th he thought he could rid the state of the sport for at least a few months...

Bruno however is just as bad, maybe worse, and his agenda is now the one that's threatening so many peoples liveliehoods.

Apparenty you didn't see him on Travers Day. He arrived, with his family, at the beginning of the card, was betting early and often, and having a great time.

Your " take " is simply not true.

As much as I disagree with Gov. Spitzer, he certainly is the lesser of two evils in this fight. Plus he got it right when he called Bruno a "senile piece of s**t."

And don't forget his "unannounced" appearance in the pressbox that stole the thunder when Steve Cauthen was there. Our governor really answered those tough questions that the media posed to him. Arrogant as ever! Both him and Bruno share equal blame with this whole fiasco.
