the state was allocating $1.6 mil for them

i am confident they had a say-whether it yay or nay

also i said they had to sanction this as long as they were providing subsidies

they are not doing that anymore

Obviously. If the 2025 appropriation was official for 2025 and freehold received the money in 2025, they would have ro race. That was never the case, we are not yet in 2025. Freehold is under no obligation by the state to stay open past 2024. The state can't say we are going to force you to stay open in 2025 and take a subsidy

Sounds like a few people will need to find new accommodations. It’s crazy to think these places will never be known in 50 years like you guys out East saying your fair tracks are now malls and housing developments. Do you think the people living or shopping there have any idea they use to race horses there 40 years ago ?

I'm not a big gambler or Sportsbook patron, but didn't they have a sportsbook at Freehold?
Isn't that usually a moneymaker?

Parties definitely over . We made contact with Howard Bruno who says he’s the General Manager and in charge of the wrapping up of the facilities. They are going to finish out there remaining 28 race dates . He also said nothing will be sold before year end . They have an auction house currently taking inventory of all owned assets that will then be put up in a public auction including all track and farm equipment. He said there is very little memorabilia left . He said there are some nice paintings. There are ovens and kitchen appliances/ restaurant equipment as well. He assumed it will take place in January or February 2025 .

I called the SBOANJ today because I heard that a complaint was filed. It's done. Gibbons is representing the SBOANJ. None of the defendants have notified anyone as to counsel yet. We'll see who the defendants use and what they say. The SBOANJ is asking for money owed to them. This should be interesting. The complaint will be on the system tomorrow.
