Where have we seen this before? Gets a little tiresome.

Big brother knows quite a bit more than little brother. You think I am going to allow some NY jokers to bash MEC. I have money invested with them. An idiot can see this guy is posting lies about Frank and Gulfstream because he doesn't like MEC putting their foot in NYRA's business.

You want to take up this discussion with me in person, I will be at Belmont tomorrow morning. The brother and his friend will be with me if they get up.

And, yeah, I do know a little about George. Just a little.

I am well aware of who you are Andy. I wonder where you are on this issue.

"As a racing fan, I want to be sure that whoever is running racing in New York is interested in racing. I want somebody like NYRA, somebody who's proven to me in the past that they've at least done their best to run racing."


Tell your annoying friend to stop putting words in TP's mouth. TP said he was going due to the poly. I think his own words mean a little more than some guy who barely knows him.

You want to meet tomorrow, send a PM to my brother. I am taking them out to dinner now, but if you PM him I am sure he will give me the information when he checks the computer when we get back.

Anytime tomorrow morning, but we are leaving to go up to Buffalo in the afternoon.

Hey, Big Brother shows up!

A couple thoughts on your comments....

You say, "Big brother knows quite a bit more than little brother." I say that's cool. Of course, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man IS king!

You say NY Jokers are bashing MEC? Well, you're preious MEC has had ONE PROFITABLE QUARTER IN THE LAST 2 AND A HALF YEARS! They were positive $.02/share in Q1,'06.

You have money invested in MEC? And you know more than Little Brother? If you put in 10k 3 years ago, you now have $4k.

You think slots are going to save Gulfstream? Not this year and probably not next year. There is NO WAY there will be slot machines at GP this year.

And when there are slot machines, all the Blue-haired gals and old guys are going to go to the Dog Track a mile away. Frank didn't think of that.

Hopefully you can get your lil brother up in time for cartoons and Fruit Loops.

Did MEC send you a special dividend when they made $.02 Q1?

I would be interested to here you reason why you say NO WAY will there be slots at GP this year.

You are 100% correct Roundpen. They are all New Yorkers who post lies. They are just jealous because their state can't get their act together. There is nothing that can stop slots now. My brother said the financing went through and they would never have gotten it if there were not going to be slots. It is done.

Funny,
A friend of mine is about to be named to Magna's board.
And the brother act is getting old.

Really. Please let me know who considering I know just a little about MEC.

I hope you liked my friends Saranac win up at Saratoga. He might get it done again this weekend. I think you know who I mean.

Lawsuits to be settled.

New lawsuits to be started.

I know I read the dog tack and GP say 11/1.

I will not believe it until I see it. Then I will be glad to say I'm wrong.

Please stop talking about something that you know nothing about. You sound like an idiot. The dog track will have problems because their handle is so low and the 50% will kill them. The racetrack will thrive. The purses will go up and the deal has already been cut with the horseman.

The state has already anticipated on getting their money in next years budget. Politicians have the pork already dished out.

I do like you quote at the bottom. I doubt you really are a Jones. I see the point, but if you are PM me and let me know where your family comes from.

Apparently you don't read too well.
If I were bashing magna or Stronach, why would I praise Santa Anita?
Did you think I was unaware that Magna owns it as well?
What you are trying to do is steer an argument to a zone that I certainly never took it to by using strawmen.
Oh, and I will be at Belmont tomorrow.

I just sent you a PM of where we can meet. I am very excited to hear the MEC discussion and even more excited to hear the Albertrani discussion. HeHe. I had no idea some of the regulars here actually knew Albertrani and let you stay stuff about him like that. My brother said he is 100% postitive that two people here are friendly with him too.

I find it funny that a guy who like you takes a tone with anyone. You

1) Started Lies about Michael Dickinson;
2) Makes up lies that other New York trainers are going to CA because they don't like Gulfstream;
3) Says Pletcher is lying when he said he was going to CA for the Poly, but is actually going because Gulfstream sucks; and
4)I suspect was involved with lies about Showing Up.

Just to let you know, Tabor wants his horses on Poly whenever possible. That is one reason. And I believe Todd's exact words were "The main reason is Polytrack is out there," Pletcher said.

Stop lying about Trainers! This is getting really old. Your lucky Dickinson did pull his private investigator act he pulled down at Gulfstream.

Agree the dog track is the least of GP worries when it comes to slots. They should be more concerned about Dania Jai Alai / Pompano Park slots and trying to remove people from the lines at the Indian Reservations / Hard Rock. That being said GP will rule the slot business for the parimutual facilities.

So if MEC is not making any money then why the bashing on the purse structure. They should be reducing purses to make a profit (albeit there are hundreds of variables that impact profit / loss)??? Sounds like talking out of both sides of the mouth.

MEC is fine. Racinos are the future.

Where was Oracle this morning? I waited until 10:15 and nobody showed. You don't need a pass to go the Vet Village, so I am a little surprised. I guess the weather kept him in?

George won easily today and established himself as the best miler in the world, so it was a good morning anyway.

LoL Nice try, sort of. I know as much as there is to know about the slots deal, 7.5% of an expected $50 mil to the horsemen, Big ****ing Deal. $3 mil, and 75% of that will go to non-Florida based stables. Yeah, great deal.

And since you're our latest mother ****ing self-proclaimed genius of the mother ****ing world, how come there's no date-specific for slots at GP or the other spots? Yeah, right.

I still make it dollars against dimes there's slots by Jan 1.

And MEC as a great investment? You must be joking or enjoy losing money. You can't lose the kind of money they've lost and think POSSIBLE slots at GP is going to cure the stock.

If he didn't control as much stock as he does, Stronach would have gotten sh1t-canned long ago for lack of performance. Plain, simple truth. That is the way the game is played.

MEC is a game for Stronach. He is a fabulously wealthy man and MEC's parent company (which keeps plowing more $$ into MEC) is very successful.

So far he's only proven he can lose a lot of money running racetracks.

Most people know who I am....you didn't need to reprint a quote from me that appeared in Thoroughbred Times to prove it.

Who's my " annoying friend "? The only person on this board that is a friend of mine is Steve Byk. I take it you didn't mean him.
