What do you think Tim Ritvo's job title would be without that money?
You know what , you are right.

I used to go to the Meadowlands for simulcasting in the good old days. Then came the , downturn and all the Wall streeters and their handle / rebates left. and the clubhouse was knocked down. Of course Gov.Christies nonsupport played a substantial part.

And whan Stronach knocked down a great GP track to build an abomination GP Taj Mahal and village of shops and restaurants with 800 seats to view the races.,? That was good ? So few folks sit and view the races

Sure, they all want the whales, money, and sure i understand pari-mutual wagering,Point. BUT, Tampa and Oaklawn do business a different way which i respect and support more.
