Once the facilities are up and running, that should add an average of $87.50 to each purse.....

Why does NY need slots Mdn Spl's go for a reasonable 45k and the purses are 85 to 90% of slot tracks..

How about they ice the purses if they do get the criminal slots in place and invest the money in the backstretch? While Belmonts Barn area is heaven on a July morning, surely a poly track that trainers can use thru the winter makes sense, and clearly if the Big A is not going to become apt. housing the barn area needs major improvement.

Because the law says they are entitled to a license?
