Dude is a Class A Scumbag. I have no idea when Greenlight bought their shares, but they obviously didn't know who they were dealing with when they did.

I love how he can use Super-Voting Shares to overturn a 92% vote.

I can only hope that the money infusion into MEC will make things better for their racetrack holdings, but I doubt it. Not as long as this clown is holding the puppet strings of the decision makers at MEC.

Just before Magna bought MJC, I had a friend who vehemently opposed the sale to the point he would stand in the clubhouse at Laurel whenever Joe was walking around and raise his voice in protest. I always told him what an ass he was being and that ANYTHING was better than Joe DeFrancis owning MJC.

Looks like I was wrong....

At some point the constant infusion of money to Magna will come to an end, the question then become who will take over the tracks that are still left?
