and they are having the international trot october 12, 2019

so much for no racing with MGM.   this will probably be the most hyped race in all of harness next year

[mass hole]

Is MGM required to run a harness meet? or will those monies generated too other tracks from slot revenues?

no racing = no racino

they must race according to the current law

FIRST OF ALL FARALDO IS A LIAR. 2ND WHAT ARTICLE DID YOU GUYS READ? YONKERS IS TOAST. BELMONT WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH

HARNESS RACING. ALL THIS DOES IS GIVE FARALDO 2 MORE YEARS TO LINE HIS POCKETS.

only alternative is to fund racing elsewhere in the state which can be done

Correct, now when they change from a Racino to a Casino,, bye bye buggys

depends on what the law says

the current law protected the upstate horse racing interests with the 4 new upstate casinos!

Assuming the link is accurately quoting Faraldo, I think he is on target. This track needs to find a mile locations. Call it yonkers at wherever. With a mile track  they will have a better chance at sustaining racing. A half mile track inevitably won't survive.
