Their revenues from gaming are governed by the laws of the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act. They can't 'pare down operations'. And their simulcast revenue is a raindrop in an ocean anyway. Greenwood is certainly a sad outfit that isn't interested in the racing product, but the Mid-Atlantic/Monarch dispute means little to their business.

Though I can't say what will happen this year with Sal Sinatra gone to Maryland, in their defense, they actively and successfully promoted the PA Derby/Cotillion Day.
