You seem even meaner in 2008 than 2007.

Account contracts await board approval
By DAVID GRENING

http://www.drf.com/news/article/91303.html

Though Aqueduct was open for business on New Year’s Day, fans who wished to wager on that track’s races via TVG, HRTV or Tracknet Media Group were shut out.

According to New York Racing Association officials, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board had not yet granted the necessary approvals for these contracts, which were finalized on Dec. 28. NYRA president Charlie Hayward said the board refused to address any of NYRA’s contracts before an agreement was reached that would allow NYRA to continue operating Aqueduct after Dec. 31, when its franchise was to expire. That agreement wasn’t finalized until mid-afternoon Monday, Hayward said.

Hayward said he is hopeful “all those guys will be back in the pool on Thursday.”

It looks like the NYSRWB worked a half day yesterday figuring they could address this matter on Wednesday.
