i would not say that. they will probably make it this year but if something does not happen soon. this is about to get ugly (worse than it already is). if nyc otb goes under owing them all this money, its gonna get worse, believe me. the state claims to be broke but they sure are not moving with any urgentcy.

It would be shocking to see Saratoga not run, but with the limited things I have read about the situation in NY, it could become a reality.

It really is sad that states with smaller tracks can keep running, but people are worried about the nation's most lucrative meet being shut down. Just doesn't seem right......

If the state doesn't do something with the VLT's then NYRA will start to look more like the Maryland circuit and the better horses and horsemen will be moving to the slot tracks with the better purses.
