It's official Yonkers sold to MGM

[The Exporter]

That was their interpretation.  Watch the May 18 In The Sulky on Utube. I believe Jeffrey is not as definitive as the NJSBOA.

FUCKING HORSEMEN HAVE THEIR GREEDY PAWS OUT ALREADY. THIS WILL END UP JUST LIKE WHEN THEY STARTED RECEIVING SLOTS REVENUE. THEY WONT TRY ONE FUCKING THING TO AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE SPORT SELF-SUFFICIENT.

Wish MGM had bought the big m instead.They would have a full casino within 3 yrs.They also would fill in the swamp & build a couple more it would be AC north but their would actually be people gambling there.

[The Exporter]

Yonkers is a fantastic location. Hey, MGM is investing 100 million more in Springfield,  Massachusetts. Steve Wynn, until he got booted from his company, is investigating 2.3 billion in North Boston.  The 850 will prove to be a bargain.

the fall meet is the last for 2 years at Belmont. indoor stadium to house the nets and islanders to be built. lights to be installed to accommodate night thorobred racing and 1 turn harness racing while Saratoga meet will be expanded once again to go from, at least, the 4th of july to labor day

As you see from the In The Sulky interview, 05/18/2018, Jeffery is convinced the only way the Meadowlands goes forward is to get $30,000,000 million a year from the state. He repeatedly mad this point as well as down played what if any part sports betting will play in the advancement of racing. He just repeated how he was personally invested in racing and will do what he can to support it.
 
 Anyone interpret this interview differently?

Is harness racing gone or....yonkers ?

[Powerful Patricks Ghost]

BELMONT RACES JUST 90 DAYS A YEAR!!!  365 - 90 = 275 days available!!!

The 54-day Belmont spring/summer meet begins April 27 and returns September 7 for the 36-day Fall Championship meet.
 

No. They use the training track for many months out of the year...

[Calhoun]

No. They use the training track for many months out of the year...

No.  You're wrong.  Again.

The Yonkers-to-Belmont plan has the current 1 Mile training track expanded to 1&1/4 miles and a new 1 Mile harness track built inside that.

[Powerful Patricks Ghost]

No.  You're wrong.  Again.

The Yonkers-to-Belmont plan has the current 1 Mile training track expanded to 1&1/4 miles and a new 1 Mile harness track built inside that.

And "whose" plan is that. It will NEVER happen. I'll bet anything you want on that, chief.

DRF: When does the current horsemen’s contract expire?
Joe Faraldo: 2019. Remember we are governed by many statutory
mandates re: racing and revenue streams.
DRF: What does the sale mean for racing at Yonkers and for
the horsemen?
JF: Racing will continue. Bank on it. Of all the possible suitors
MGM may be the best option for us. We will have to wait and see,
but I remain optimistic. Nothing is moving anywhere as of today
nor in the immediate future. All agreements remain in place
We are still working on NYRA (deal to move harness racing
from Yonkers to Belmont Park). No door is closed, but racing
continues at the Hilltop Oval.

You'll just redboard a phony winner.

[MR.DALRAE]

DOES HE REDBOARD?

[slivercharm]

He's getting driving lessons in France

[Atthetrack7]

 Horsemen have no part in the actual sale, they have contracts  to live by. So having Joe at the sale announcement was never necessary, I wish him well bringing more horses to the United states to help alleviate the "horse shortage"

 Horsemen should just show up, shut up and race, and do what they are told, for a change
