the state was allocating $1.6 mil for them

i am confident they had a say-whether it yay or nay

also i said they had to sanction this as long as they were providing subsidies

they are not doing that anymore

Obviously. If the 2025 appropriation was official for 2025 and freehold received the money in 2025, they would have ro race. That was never the case, we are not yet in 2025. Freehold is under no obligation by the state to stay open past 2024. The state can't say we are going to force you to stay open in 2025 and take a subsidy

oh canada

Sounds like a few people will need to find new accommodations. It’s crazy to think these places will never be known in 50 years like you guys out East saying your fair tracks are now malls and housing developments. Do you think the people living or shopping there have any idea they use to race horses there 40 years ago ?

Was there the day Niatross raced, traffic backed up for miles on Rt 9 trying to get there....somewher e Harold Kelly, Jackie Ingrassia, and Tom Devitis are shedding a tear.  Surprised this didn't happen a long time ago.

I'm not a big gambler or Sportsbook patron, but didn't they have a sportsbook at Freehold?
Isn't that usually a moneymaker?
