NYRA Franchise: "Backwards, not forwards"

[the_fat_man]

While it sucks for the horsemen, and I feel for them, my point of view is from the gambling end, and as I hardly ever go to the track, and having recently branched out to other tracks, rather than having POLITICAL hands in the pot, just shut the damn thing down. Plenty of other action out there.

If the NY politicians won't allow the game to operate without their intervention then tear down AQU and put up condos. I'd certainly want to live in the HIGHLY DESIRABLE Ozone Park area of Queens, directly UNDER the JFK Apt's flight path. I'd move in tomorrow.

Last thing we need is NYRA run as if it were OTB.

Screw 'em.
