![]() It's the NYRA's land, why shouldn't they get the racing franchise ? And what has taken Bruno 6 years to get the vlt into Aqueduct ? This guy has some explaining to do.

![]() Its the little guys who would get hurt in a shutdown, even if it were for just a few weeks. The big guys can get out of town and take their help with them. Small operations with mosty NYbreds and cheap stock who look forward to AQU so they can make some $$$ and who don't have money to put horses on vans to PHA etc will get hurt. The man with 6 horses, one hotwalker and one groom, with 2 kids in school in NYC can't just up and walk out of town. If there is no racing he gets no money and he still has mouths to feed, human and equine.

No. I prefer to use common sense. OK, I do know one thing, I heard John DaSilva say on Byk's show that a shutdown was a certainty. Let me retract.....I only used common sense. |

![]() I'm glad you are so confident, but some of the trainers I know are less so. I hope you are right.

And I am sorry for their concerns. I hope during this franchise process they were also doing all they could to help this situation reach a fair conclusion. Yeah, I know, that's not completely fair. But considering the behavoir of some horsemen during the past couple of years, as regards this mess, it is hard for me to shed a lot of tears for everyone. |

![]() It would be a sad day to see operations cease in New York. There is plenty of blame to go around. I doubt we see an interruption. However, I would like to see a business model that actually works from any group.
