No doubt. If NYRA had the slots running two years ago, as they legally should have, they would have been so financially strong that replacing them would have been extremely tough. But, of course, Empire actually claimed last summer at Saratoga that NYRA had intentionally withheld the slots ( to keep money from the horsemen I suppose ). Here's another group, Empire, that is either not smart enough to understand the situation or willing to say ANYTHING to attempt to make NYRA look bad. Either way they hardly seem like a group that should be in a position to run racing in NY.
