Title: Freehold Raceway auction
Post by: Rdp066 on December 26, 2024, 05:49:44 PM
As was posted on this board that there is an auction scheduled for January has been confirmed by Heritage Auctions that no such auction is scheduled.  Another bullshit post by someone who doesn't know jack shit.

Agree that no one has heard a word about any auction. Asked the person that posted that info to fill us in but never did see a response.

It was posted here---and I don't remember how many, who, or whatever---that there was a scheduled auction, being run by Heritage. I called Heritage and they knew nothing about it. I spoke with their Director of Auction Operations and he said they were not retained and were not running an auction for Freehold Raceway. I posted this on the day I called.

That said, if the Landy family---or anyone else---is interested, it would be foolish to have an auction. You have an auction for complete liquidation purposes and to rid the facility/land of equipment, so you can sell the land free of "waste" (what would then be considered waste as the buyer would have to pay money to remove/dispose of it). If they have hopes to sell it for continued use as a track, sports betting, whatever, it is worth more to sell as is, even if someone wants to buy new and start again. That is a negotiation point in the sale. You are giving the buyer options, their choice.

If Landy is interested, I don't know their motives, but partial development would most probably be part of the equation.

I think they should piece out the property. That general parking lot across the street from the raceway is barren and ready to build, it's a big lot too.

Being from Ohio, I've never been to Freehold. I'm sure it was a great hangout back when harness racing was popular. But now by reading the comments on here from the last month or so it sounds like a run down shithole like alot of tracks are nowadays. Pretty sad really. As far as an auction goes..who gives a crap. It's probably all filthy sickening items anyway.
