They have gone to a local architectural firm and structural engineering company about a redesign as a concert venue . They will hold Faraldo off .

It's a depressed county. Nobody is there to go to a concert. Winters are extremely harsh. Bethel Woods is 8 miles up the road and they only have about 20 shows per year to a very small crowd and the acts were all at their peak about 30 to 40 years ago. Another losing proposition for sure.

I don't believe anyone could raise a dime for a project like that.

place has been a dump for years. horsemen never got a decent cut of the tracks revenue. horsemen had to supplement with some questionable races. they all together put the nails in the coffin.

The owners want to go in a different direction. They want to try a concert venue combined with some kind of theme park is the word . Maybe they ditch the casino as well 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is true and what was the other one on the right close to Johnnys ? It was a red building/ house

The Jade was a mile down the road.
The Bon Vivant was across from the race track.
Round Robin was also open for coffee and snacks.

The Yonkers racetrack will be a hotel in the coming years. Does anyone know the length of the correct horsemen"s contract? When does it expire? That will probably be the end.

Batavia  owned by Western Region OTB  (state) and Buffalo is owned by Erie Agricultural Society basically a non profit, money goes right to back into fairgrounds. Monticello is fucked, itīs a shame place was a showcase in the 60īs and 70īs. Yonkers has been a shit hole for decades. God or Gural keeps Vernon and Tioga going, so those are under his whims. Saratoga is Saratoga Casino and Hotel, doesenīt even have racing in the name anymore. I think Buffalo and Batavia have a better chance of surviving.
