I am fairly sure the horsemen knew there was no way in hell Belinda would give them a 10 year deal--so they "negotiated" a deal where they get 3 years notice--she said "ok"--then the horsemen grabbed the three year deal because they were in fear of 2026 being the last year
the land is too valuable--i feel the horsemen took what they could-- late in 2028 will be the end of Gulfstream
And that's exactly why, IMO, they were fools. She might have if they agreed to segregate the casino and the track, because then she'd get her capital and her pay day. But, it doesn't matter. All the talk they gave, all the plans they had.....in the end, how'd that work out for them? Not too well from what I see. She would have given more than three years, because it's costing her more now. But, it is what it is. She figures, so be it, in the end, she thinks she's going to get what she wants. I guess we will soon see. I think Repole tried to approach her to partner on this, but that never got out of the starting gate. The entire current situation is unfortunate.
