Very true. The NYRA situation was at the peak and as docicu3 said -- CD took the position that they couldn't make a profit, enough profit, etc. or something along those lines. I too don't remember the specifics or the claims, but that was the essence of it.

Although it's ironic, and very sad, to a certain extent -- the tracks and the BC have somewhat diametrically opposing mindsets.
