From the biased articles I have been reading it seems that the Meadowlands is in the most danger of closing. There have been few details on MP other then the state would like to lease it or sell it. I'm not an accountant, but I am smart enough to suppose that there is some creative bookeeping going on here. I'd be willing to bet the state makes plenty of money from MP. It's beyond me how that operation could be losing $10 mil. I just do not buy it.
And all this bad press is not going to help. I'm so sick of hearing about how horse racing in NJ is dying. It's utter BS. Tell that to the thousands of people who have been enjoying weekends at MP this year. I'll be there Saturday for Rachel along with 15,000 others (guessing). This is typical of how this half-assed state does things. They kill everything I love(d) about it. My grandparents are rolling in their graves 5 miles from MP.
