I would debate you on this if Cali did not race at the Fairplex. Take the Fairplex out and Cali racing is right up there with New York when it comes to year round racing. But right now, New York is the best.

NYRA "projecting" a $15m loss is irrelevant and has nothing to do with their capabilities and abilities. That "projection" is based upon a snapshot in time and is part of a normal budget and planning process. It was also mandatory as part of the bankruptcy process. Basing one's opinion on an alleged $15 loss -- as a result -- is not only myopic but foolish as well.

The most qualified people and organization was chosen to run racing in NY, and most importantly, it's going to be a new organization with new a new operational mindset and culture and new operational proceedures -- and all of this is due, not to stupidity or incompetance, but due to a broken business model.

If the business model for NY racing is not fixed, it doesn't matter who runs racing.
