NYRA: Spitzer nod on 30 yr renewal

GenuineRisk · #1 09-04-2007, 07:07 AM

According to NY1 this morning, Spitzer will announce he's in favor of the NYRA maintaining control of the tracks (and slots, I believe it said). I think the Legislature still has to approve it.

with all the foot dragging that's been going on, i really felt nyra would retain control. a bit late now to hand it over to someone new.

Now how about getting the slots going. It's been how long ? 4 years ?

This article states there may be vlt gambling at old Saratoga. If that's the case then you'd think they'd have to build a separate building away from the track so as not to disrupt the historic nature of the track.

Never happen. The Racino is across the street. You can't even have an OTB is Saratoga County
