I really couldn't care less who gets the franchise, except for one nagging thing. I don't see any way bettors won't take it in the shorts if anyone not named NYRA wins.

Well that's better than being The Mayor of Munchkinland. I hope the Lollipop Guild vetoes this jackass into obscurity. Maybe he'll be sent to purgatory which will involve him reading the DRF next to Cigar's *******.

F Bailey with a big wood spoon. I used to think he was ok but no more. Saw him in a restaurant parking lot a few weeks ago. Should have sent my wife to key his car.

Bailey's pomposity drips from every word he writes or utters on this, and most other, topics.. His failure to acknowledge the realities of Steve Wynn's intent in this endeavor is the critical mass in the depth of his eagnerness to shill for them..

I am not sure Jerry wrote that by himself. I am sure their Washington based PR firm had a lot to do with the writing. Did you notice that they never mentioned Richard Fields the driving force behind this group? I find that act of omission to be very interesting.

Ya'll yankees have to stop with the fancy words; "pomposity". Everytime Byk decides to post, I have to reach for the dictionary.
"utters" now that is word a Tenn. boy knows about. LOL...

Statements without substance by Mr. Bailey

In fact, the Johnstons have pioneered safe and effective track operation and management, along with improvements in living and working conditions for the hard-working men and women on the backstretch

Someone want to check and see how many fire violations Balmoral Park, one of the Johnston's--"safe and effective track operations" have had in the past few years. Backstretch areas at both tracks, Balmoral and Maywood are runned down and in need of major repairs, from what I read on other forum boards, including horsemen who post on those boards.

Excelsior is the right choice for New York racing, for New York taxpayers, and for local communities alike.

JERRY BAILEY Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Nice of Mr. Bailey, a resident of Florida to know whats best for NY Racing and its taxpayers. Is that why Mr. Bailey resides in Florida a state who doesnt have a personal income tax.

Go sell some DVD's in Century Village to the seniors.
