They'll be running for purses generated from handle, while PA and NY get subsidized.

no handle no purses...no purses no quality.......no quality no handle

They'll close in no time, or run at Beulah levels.

The deal signed is simply to save face and give them more time to reach a real deal. There is no chance they will run all those days but in the current climate the horsemen aren't going to feel comfortable waiving the days requirement as it is a negotiating piece and the Gov has no issues with going back on his word.

I hope the horsemen saved up their pennies from the elite meet, because times are going to be tough in NJ no matter how this plays out this year.
