I can't help but harken back to a recent appearance of mine on ATRAB, right after the first panel recommended Excelsior, where I was interupted ( frequently and at length ) by Excelsior shill Gary Contessa. He went on and on about how great it was going to be to have NY racing run by the Steinbrenner family and the New York Yankees.
Boy was Gary right! They were so committed to NY racing that they dropped out just a few months later. Wow would we have been lucky to have had people so determined to run NY racing that they couldn't even make it to the second cut of the bidding process.
Where is the accountability for these people and their followers? Who do they have to answer to for cheering on the Steinbrenner group who abandoned NY racing at the drop of a hat ( or should I say pants )? Of course now they are getting behind Steve Wynn. What will be their response when Wynn drops out in the coming week(s)? How can Excelsior even be considered a viable bidder when they change leadership like Gary Stevens changes occupations?
