LOL!!! So basically you agree that the owners, trainers, bettors and municipalities (with regards to taxes due to them) have all been 100% satisfied while at the same time NYRA has conducted the best racing and highest purses paid year round. yeah, see, I already knew that. So does everyone else who knows anything about what goes on. Mayeb CD/Magna?friends/ etc can add a few more partners and take a shot. Man will they need more partners. I guess they realized this after they saw that in addition to MGM/NYRA that Steve Wynn and George Steinbrenner were going in. Good ****ing luck outbidding those three entities.

Doesnt matter who is satisfied. If everyone was satisfied then the Attorney General would not have investigated them. From what I hear, Steve Wynn isnt going to pump alot of money into the bid. Stronach is worth 5x more than Steinbrenner.

The NYRA has paid taxes on the land for 50 + years. They are a known entity, may have gone astray somewhat, but are now back on track.

It doesn't matter how good the people are ...

... the entire concept of a non-profit organization is doomed to be much worse ... and has been ... than a profit-seeking operation answerable to shareholders and the market.

Wealth isn't something which exists ... it must be created ... and it can only be created when there are motives to do so ... such as necessity, self-fulfillment, and greed.

Without the profit motive ... you have Cuba and the Soviet Union.

End of lecture.

For now.
