What does harness racing need---

[Calhoun]

At Pocono Downs, I don't think Mohegan Sun owns the race related property such as the track and the paddock and they don't own the gambling license which is why they can't dump racing.

I don't think that is correct.  I believe Mohegan
 Sun bought the track from Penn National in 2005 for $280 Million.

That is not how it works in PA. The horse racing development fund is a tax on slots play. The government decides what the money is used for. PA has a bunch of stand alone casinos and the harness tracks are owned by the casino companies. PA has already tried to divert the money. They just need a few more votes in the legislature.

The newer stand alone casinos came later on and they all had to pay a huge licensing fee. If I remember right it was 100 million up front to even get started

Look what New York States charges for licensing fees!!  What a bargain!!

Maybe I got it wrong but the PHHA told me that Mohegan Sun owns everything but the actual track, paddock and gaming license. The grandstand, parking lot and surrounding property are all owned by Mohegan Sun.

That sounds about right
