Either way, Yonkers is toast.
If MGM gets the casino, it will no longer be shackled to the mandate to hold racing. So, if they're awarded the license at noon, by 12:01 the eviction notices will be nailed to the paddock door. If they fail to get the license, no way they continue to run slots and single file racing for the ten trainers allowed to race there and compete with a new full-blown casino ten miles away. They'll pack up and sell the real estate. Two possible scenarios - same outcome for racing.
