Explain.. The State put the thing out to bid and the planet had a shot to gain the business. All but 3 passed(not a good sign) and now we are down to 1.. Even if the Lottery supports this single bidder, surely people will cry foul, or the bidder will realize they are being hosed and pull their offer knowning that any future bid can will be less costly.

The sad part is racing in NY, the mecca of the sport, is basically hopeless without a major shift in the economy

Looks like Genting to me . They are the only group meeting the rfp . None of the other groups trust this process at all so that leaves only one . They can all jump back in for the Belmont rfp which will just go to the Indians in the end .

Looks like no deal and another reboot of the process..Again there is zero chance of VLT's before 2013
