Lets put a group together and bid....

Understand, unless the statute is changed to a " for-profit " entity there will be no bidders.

The statute is nothing. That can be changed easily and will be changed. And I know for a fact that CDSI is interested. In fact, I know exactly when they are going to bid.

Now, keep a close eye on Delaware North Group. They are sneaky and have a shot at winning the bid.

NY racing wants to keep NY racing money in NY for NY racing.

What makes you think it wont stay in NY?

Everybody knows that. That's why an outside group cannot take over NY racing. They are wasting their time. The bid goes to a NY group under the watchful eyes of the NY government.

The bid is going to the group that puts up the most cash. It is that simple.

Nothing is that simple in NY my friend. The bid winner will be a NY group and stays in NY for NY racing, not out of state.

Again, I would be surprised after the debacle of the NYRA.

I know it isn't simple in NY because of the corruption, but your next governor was the guy who went after NYRA and said the bid is going to go to the highest bidder.

That archaic way of thinking is what got the NYRA is such a financial problem. I would be SHOCKED if a New York Company won the bid. CDSI runs racetracks--that it what they do and they are good at it. They prob are the top 2 frontrunners right now. CDSI has been planning this for years.

Exactly. Money will always trump some ridiculous statute. Someone is going to win a bidding war. Way too much money involved with slots for the state to not take the quick payment rather than wait years for the money.

NY does not want to subsidize Churchill, Delaware, Stronach or anybody else. Let's keep the money in NY for the good of our horse industry. And no outsider will take over NY racing.

Yeah right...on all counts.
