that is a puzzling bit of news in that article. i thought MGM was a part of the NYRA bid entity. not a separate bidder unto themselves.

MGM Grand and Wynd didnt want it. Why would they. They have better opportunities out there. Plus it is going to be too regulated by the state.

This ad hoc committee to determine the bids for the right to conduct racing does not have the final say. Nothing will happen until the new year when a new governor and legislature are in place. If NYRA is denied the franchise the courts will ultimately determine if they own the tracks.
