It's official Yonkers sold to MGM

[horses first]

This will be the perfect chance for Casino's to end slot welfare. MGM doesn't owe racing in NY a dam thing and with no contract pass 2019 there is NO incentive to keep 230 days of racing and how many MILLIONS that funnel and lost to the purse account. No need to bring back horses from France for the horse shortage. Getting rid of a number of racetracks slot welfare will disperse those horses to other racetracks and fill those fields.

 It's pretty sad you assclowns think harness racing is just going to disappear at Yonkers, MGM assumed a contract with the state of New York that says, no harness racing, no casino. And if you think that is just going to disappear you are full of shit and your ass cancer is spreading to your brains.  I know all you losers hope that it goes bye bye because you are so jealous that horsemen make one hell of a living without your 2 dollar mind bets.  So typical of horse gamblers to think they are important when the sport is doing quite well without any of you

Not trying to be negative but Governments change & contracts are not the be all that some think they are. Just ask those folks up in Ontario.

A little flaw in your logic, Att'. MGM may be obliged to continue with the state contract that may state no racing, no racino but, MGM is not purchasing Yonkers for it's racino and business as usual, it is buying a positive cash flow company that is poised to be awarded a casino license come 2020, or about. If that happens, there will be no compelling reason for the state to give up 10 of net to NY SOA.
 Can you now see why Joe was pitching his idea to NYRA at about the same time Rooney announced he hired a firm to explore his opportunities? Joe knows the gig is up and needs a new sandbox. The only real power in all of this maneuvering is the State. And, the state is clear in it's actions they are moving away from harness racing.

Dump!
Close it all ready

 All you fools and losers keep hoping that racing disappears and we will keep hoping a
 MS 13 gang comes across your mother, wife, or teenage daughter and has their way with them     Must have lost your 2 dollar mind bet and of course they stiffed yours and the winner was juiced to the gills.  The state of New York isn't changing anything anythime soon, keep reading your weekly world news for your next update

Nothing that has not already been said.

And they are the facts, not some paranoid pipedreams from some minimum wage paycheck losing fools

Att..I have been a standardbreds owner and breeder since 2009. I'm a realist and know owning and racing is a negative advantage unless you get real lucky across the way. I've owned a handful of good ones over the years and kept the mares to breed. But this is a failing business propped up by slots and only the ones at the top really survive and survive for a reason or two. Being a realistic and seeing all past failures the best thing for racing is to dump a lot of tracks. Slow the breeding even a bit more and have racetracks that will provide full competitive racing that having the funding to regulate the shit out of race day med's and out of competition testing. Or required 24 he detention before racing. I lost the thrill of losing to horses that only seem to suck air cutting a mile and keep going while others don't or can't. Then being a 2 dollar bettor and losing a wager. Agree with the one who posted...Just look at ON. Nothing is a 100% guarantee. May be Yonkers only gets 100 or 150 race dates and less money to pay for them?

what has faroldo done to help yonkers?

[Atthetrack7]

And just because you were a failure in the business, everyone else must be too. I know. no one is better than you, no one knows more than you. The business is full of shit people like you, glad you and your piss poor attitude  hopefully  are on the sideline because they all cheated and you didn't  .

You losers should save your breath and admit, YOU are the failure, not the industry
