Yonker and Northfield, What a team

[Joe 4 all]

Joe does it again..

The Standardbred Owners Association of New York ("SOA") and Yonkers Racing Corporation have entered into an amendment of their current horsemen's agreement. The terms and conditions governing harness racing at Yonkers Raceway was just extended beyond the current expiration date of May, 2019 to May, 2021.

The July 10th, 2018 agreement entitled the "First Amendment" will maintain the same number of annual race dates, as well as the current revenue stream for purses.

Joseph Faraldo, President of the SOA of NY said, "The SOA Board of Directors has approved the negotiation of the terms and the execution of this First Amendment. I am pleased that this process was seamless and entered into with the knowledge and consent of the Raceway's new owners, MGM Resorts International, as the same portends a good working relationship with our new partners. Hopefully, this amendment will be followed by others in numerical sequence."

Faraldo also noted that in April of this year MGM Growth Properties acquired the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park outside of Cleveland, Ohio and indicated, "We may now be referring to Northfield Park as our 'sister track' and vice versa. Coordinating post times may add some benefits to both tracks, with the racing fans the prime beneficiaries. In sum, despite the initial apprehensions expressed in some quarters, world class harness racing at the Hilltop Oval appears to have a very bright and elongated future."

I saw it as well, Late'. Joe got an extension. Looks like he got a cold reception from the state and NYRA. So, life goes on at Yonkers. At least until MGM gets a casino license.

 Where are all those jealous gambling losers who said Yonkers was as good as dead and buried?  MGM agreed to extend and realizes a gold mine when they see it. When the idiot shuts down the Meadowlands Race Track Part of the equation, Yonker will be the only harness track left in the area for you DEGENERATES.  PUT THAT IN YOUR ASS PIPE AND SMOKE IT

Nobody can deny, Joe does get the job done for his members. But, this is a small win for NYSOA. It allows for the status quo. Not the opportunity to expand and advance he was seeking with NYRA.  Who knows, 3 years before Casino licenses are awarded to Zone 7, maybe something new can come about for harness racing.

Congrats to Joe Faraldo and his team !!!

I DONT KNOW WHY HE STICKS UP FOR SUCH A GROUP, BUT MR JOE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY SERVICING HIS HORSEMENS GROUP AND THEY SHOW NO RESPECT FOR HIS GREATNESS.  NEW JERSEY HORSEMEN JUST WISH THEY HAD QUALITY REPRESENTATION IN THEIR DAILY CONFRONTATIONS WITH GURAL
