They coulda been in two years ago and purses would already be huge." This is where the problem lies. You cannot bump up purses if you are losing money. The NYRA still has an under funded pension and they owe Suffolk County back taxes (unless these were paid up to date since the last time I read an article). Until the NYRA is able to operate under the financial model with or without VLTs then they are never going to be as great as they could be. I am all for increase in purses, but you have to make sure your operating costs are taken care of first.

Why would they owe Suffolk County taxes?
They operate nothing in Suffolk.

You can't go confusing this guy with facts Phil. You are talking about a guy who just cited the only horse who won outside all day long on BC Day(the horse of the year) as proof that you could "win without being inside that day".
Thats the kind of mentality you are dealing with here.

I think you mean JPOPS and not me referring to the only horse who won from the outside all day. I didnt say anything about BC day and where horses came from. And I am sorry, I meant Nassau County. I have no clue how I got Suffolk. Sorry about that.
