I dont believe that the land is for sale.

Why would you believe that if sports betting comes to pass that the state will just hand it over to NYRA?

Not talking about the physical land.. Talking about the gambling landscape and the potential to be the the first ones to operate a book in NYC

I doubt that being associated with NYRA will give them a leg up. Sports betting isnt close right now either. NJ keeps losing in court and that is with a sponsor for the bill and support from the state.

I have less problem increasing it for Saratoga than for Belmont....It should be tiered. Admission for AQ should be free.
