What makes you think it wont stay in NY?

Everybody knows that. That's why an outside group cannot take over NY racing. They are wasting their time. The bid goes to a NY group under the watchful eyes of the NY government.

The bid is going to the group that puts up the most cash. It is that simple.

Nothing is that simple in NY my friend. The bid winner will be a NY group and stays in NY for NY racing, not out of state.

Again, I would be surprised after the debacle of the NYRA.

I know it isn't simple in NY because of the corruption, but your next governor was the guy who went after NYRA and said the bid is going to go to the highest bidder.

I would love to see some new blood in NY but here is an interesting question just asked to Kiaran McLauglin

Saratoga Springs, NY
You've been a member of the NY Racing fraternity for several years. As the NYRA franchise goes out to bid, what one recommendation would you have for the new franchise holder even if it turns out to be the current NYRA group?

McLaughlin
Getting Polytrack is an absolute MUST.


I don't see them going to poly at Saratoga or Belmont but they should.

That archaic way of thinking is what got the NYRA is such a financial problem. I would be SHOCKED if a New York Company won the bid. CDSI runs racetracks--that it what they do and they are good at it. They prob are the top 2 frontrunners right now. CDSI has been planning this for years.
