I'm starting to wonder if Albany is going to use this dispute as a way to say "get used to no Winter racing in NY" as they plan to sell Aqueduct.
If they can drag this out over the winter months and horses return to Belmont in the spring, they can certainly say Big A is not needed. Especialy after NYRA said they lost $3M a day or whatever it was last winter.
A horrible way to go about it, but it does eliminate them having to worry about any rational discussion on the topic. Would not shock me.
