Here's a idea..

Why doesn't each track use a percentage from the betting revenue to form a purse account? Each track can draw their purse amounts from that account. Thus the more the betters bet at that track the higher the purse for each race can be!

Just a thought

 

Yonkers does this

Meadowlands also does this

the subsidies also assist these tracks

So now N.J. Republicans care about horse racing? How nice.
Not so much when Christie appointed a real estate baron to head a study/committee on keeping the Meadowlands as a racetrack a few years ago. Like hiring a fox to guard the hen house.
Not so much when they were in the casino's pockets, taking money from even out of state interests, while distorting and misrepresenting the message during the slots ballet initiative.

Phil Murphy is a very wealthy man, courtesy of Goldman Sachs.
Shouldn't he have a better set of false teeth?

Those are veneers, old son.  Good ones, too.

NJ has a 10B projected deficit in 2021. There is zero chance a 20m subsidy get approved. They better figure out how to survive off handle + sports betting revenue.

If not they are toast.

A lot of ploppers may be disappointed?

I believe I saw that New Jersey passed a 2021 budget Friday that Murphy says he will sign.

I also believe it includes 15 million for horse racing.

[Brown jug]

ok so lets do away with horse racing, no more subsidies, which by the way are a pitence compared to the money racked in by casinos on their property in their buildings
so assume some of those people cannot find work, who can right now , so they just go on the unemployment/covid free money relief train
i would rather have them working  and contributing something
the govt is going to have to pay one way or the other
at the end of the day who cares, country so far in debt it will never see the end of the debt so just print more money and let the good times roll

Gural owns the USA's biggest sportsbook. 

It's amazing Monmouth is doing as well as it is.

And really, who gives a shit bout Freehold

Let these welfare horsemen get a job. 

I hear Amazon is hiring.

Please provide info that Gural "owns his sports book". My understanding was he sold the license for a piece of the action.
