Slots at the Big A

[PSH]

Does anyone have an update on the installation of the 4500 slot machines at the Big A? Is that part of the bidding process for NYRA or a separate issue?

If the 4500 slots are installed in January 2007 as previously rumored, what will that do to NY Bred MSW purses? 60,000 or 70,000?

Thanks...

I don't know, but if they throw slots in at the NYRA tracks, well, somebody ought to beat the Maryland General Assembly straight upside the head with a 2X4.

How long does it take to install these slots at A ? They just built a whole new harness track here in less than a year and have almost 1,000 slots. Tioga Downs in Nichols NY.

As long as the mobsters want it to take.

They'll put the slots in at Aqueduct ...

... as soon as they clean up the seven-inch-thick layer of pigeon droppings.

But, but....that's part of the ambience. They need to keep it.

There has been talk of slots at the Big A for better than half a decade, and as usual, politics and red tape has taken over. Can't get anything done under those circumstances.

You don't have to convince me.

Bottom line...they get rid of the pigeon crap, I stop showing up there.
