I guess the fix was in!

Batavia  owned by Western Region OTB  (state) and Buffalo is owned by Erie Agricultural Society basically a non profit, money goes right to back into fairgrounds. Monticello is fucked, itīs a shame place was a showcase in the 60īs and 70īs. Yonkers has been a shit hole for decades. God or Gural keeps Vernon and Tioga going, so those are under his whims. Saratoga is Saratoga Casino and Hotel, doesenīt even have racing in the name anymore. I think Buffalo and Batavia have a better chance of surviving.

I agree with your synopsis, Jupiter. Batavia and Buffalo are in the best political position. I also agree the others have their challenges.

I Heard monti is opening sooner than we think!
Anyone at the Horsemans meeting?

[Lotsofpace]

Will the drivers and trainers be panhandling in between races for purse money? This "company", originally Empire Resorts, has made every wrong decision that can be made from day one and has burned money right and left from day one. Makes one wonder why the stock price tanked the afternoon they got the license all those years ago and why the entire operation of Catskills Resorts and Monticello Raceway have lost how many millions.... a sad sideshow that will not end well, unfortunately.

just read they installed $1,000,000 air filtration/sanitizing stations/ temperture scanners..that china fun house will be up and Loosing money in no time! and we'll be watching the ponies again!

Amazing....1 million dollars so they can reopen to continue to lose huge sums of money each and every day. A bunch of empty suits from day one who spent 1.5 billion on e "resort" in the middle of nowhere, in a completely saturated market..... LOSERS

Agreed! Huge losing business venture, They were banking on the Asian clientele and forgot about the good old local Sullivan county folk! Problem is the chinamen are cashing out daily and the locals are taking their money elsewhere because they didn’t market to them!! Classic. ...anyways, hoping the horses start back sooner than later.

they built a casino where people had no money, what can possibly go wrong?

I’m sticking with it used as an alternative use building

Monticello closed for racing-is POLITICAL. 100%.
The Judge who ruled against Joe--is a DEMOCRAT-didnt follow the Law-and gave an OPINION verdict-not based on any Law. Did this because Democrats are on an agenda--create as much financial hardship as possible-wreck economies--all to make Trump look bad in November.Only care about themselves-dont give a fuck about anyone else.
These Judge Mfers-have Jobs-so they have power to do whatever they want until the election. NJ,NY,PA--are being run into the ground financially. Watch them offer handouts,have sanctuary cities,open the borders,raise taxes etc- to get votes all to  remove Trump.
Joe Faraldo-now has to find a Court-to appeal this BS ruling but find a Judge who is going to follow the Law-not a Democrat agenda.
Monticello-is OUTDOORS-AND RACING SO FAR-HAS BEEN CONDUCTED WITHOUT PROBLEMS!
They handle more than Yonkers-who are open--and can survive giving much needed employment to the people .Yonkers may shut soon if Cuomo doesnt open the Casinos. Vegas is resuming and so are many other Casinos--lets see how Cuomo spins this. Hes a real POS. Has no problem sending Covid patients into nursing homes killing 1000's-yet wont open a Casino-where all procedures possible to sanitize the place have been put in place.
Cuomo  and his cohorts however are on a mission-and racing may not resume until after the election-or if Joe finds an honest Judge.

I have always thought that your posts were pretty much on the money but this rant is really hilarious!  Another far out conspiracy theory by a true Trumper!  November can't come fast enough to  rid America of this scourge of a president!  The White House is no place for a lying, cheating, racist piece of shit!  And not because I say so, because Trump says so himself every fucking time he opens his mouth! 

[chief yogi]

while bond hit the political agenda hard on monti he is kind of right. racing is open just about everywhere, no problems.   casinos are open so ny should too.   monti should be racing.

Yonkers runs out of money after super night 9/12

Master my friend--there is no conspiracy theory here at all--its based on FACT.
Not a "Trumper"-in fact I think he is personally a despicable human being--however he loves America and what it stands for-salutes the flag and believes in God. The other party-stands for open borders,higher taxes,sanctuary cities,killing babies,authoritarian control,removing our guns and downgrading the first amendment, socialism--or if like the BLM leaders--pure communism. Not for me thank you-if that makes me a Trumper-then so be it. I respect our veterans and what they died for-cant stand Mfers disrespecting the flag-or burning down buildings killing people-fuck them.
This Judge who kept Monticello closed-is a DEMOCRAT who if he cared about its citizens-would Open up the Racetrack--JUST LIKE 20 OTHER TRACKS IN USA!! The Law was clear--so as a Judge-you follow the Law--not partisan Politics.

The opposite party is not trying to take anything away from you. I fought so you CAN have the right to take a knee or bitching about the government.Ya lets postpone the election, sounds like a fucking dictator to me, and democrats donīt hate America they just think differently than I do.And He does NOT love America, Mr bone spurs, rest of us over in the fing jungle and heīs hiding under his bed.

Right on Sir! And THANKYOU  for your service!

Jupiter-first off-thank you for your service-I do appreciate what the vets have done for this Country although taking a knee at sporting event would never be in my repertoire. My Dad was a Vet and served his Country with honor. I have my opinion-you have yours--lucky we are in USA-not China-as I would likely disappear if I mouthed off vs a communist.I dont like Trump-but I dislike the Democrat party a lot more. Their leader Biden-is also a lowlife.His Draft record is even worse than Trump.Been in politics 50 years-done 0. He can hardly put a sentence together. I wouldnt want him to run a school canteen let alone a Country. Hes hiding in his basement -if he was in the war driving a tank he would have 1 forward gear and 10 reverse ones. fuckin lowlife.
