My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.

This would be like getting an early Christmas present. I'm still going to hold off on getting too excited until there is an actual agreement that is signed.

After all we are talking about politicians.

That is the most positive old Freddy has ever been about NYRA or horseracing in general

"Word"

For the first time in a long time I feel optimistic about racing continuing on January 1. Must have been a nice bag delivered to Senator Bruno to let him see the "light".

As I said before, there was never going to be a stoppage in racing.

Wouldn't get too cocky, Albany has screwed up things that were far more obvious than this.

Come on, you never said that. LOL.

I thought that the clash of egos between Bruno and Spitzer would preclude a timely settlement

You had the right call all along though
