Couldn't come up with a $100K retainer for a multi-billion dollar project. That probably happens a lot.

I am guessing, and it's only a guess, that someone in Spitzer's office explained to Catskill OTB that they basically weren't even allowed to bid for the franchise. They were only there in a weak attempt by NY State OTBs to, once again, try and have a say in something they basically aren't involved in.

I believe they are the only OTB in NY that makes money.
NYRA--- The Devil We Know. I'm rooting for them.

Going to be interesting to see how this plays out. They are dropping like flies. I nearly have to say that I am rooting for NYRA, too, although it really has very little bearing on me...

Steve Wynn is one of the best pin hookers in the buisness. Took the Golden Nuget, and turn it over for a cool 250 million profit. Business is buisness, and you can't blame a guy who see's an easy score. NYRA been eating our lunch for to many years, O yea, non profit. Bull crap, my taxes are not non profit. Down with the old boss. In with the monthly retirement checks. As long as they clean an renovate the rest rooms.
