Because Bill Clinton has a relationship with Belinda Stronach is not going to help the cash poor Magna get the franchise. They have already stated they can't afford to bid for the slots. The simple fact is they are less than a non-contendor.

How, by the way, anyone could want Magna to further their racing interests after the debacle at Gulfstream is beyond me.

Gulfstream is going to be great once we get rid of the corrupt Bush in the state house and his loser religious right friends who are holding up slots. South Florida will soon be the new Vegas. Clinton's friends are actually not just going to back Stronach, they are investing cash in the business.

Empire? They couldn't even raise the $3 Million they claimed they needed for their initial operating budget. Please.

Nothing like a group claiming to represent horsemen that also plans to take in excess of 20% of any profits directly out of racing. Who would fall for that?
